Who Wins
- Pre-6, you and Kalista win — your W root at level 2 is the primary kill threat, and Milio cannot cleanse it fast enough to prevent Kalista from stacking autos and chunking Ezreal; post-6, your R makes you nearly unkillable in extended trades, and Ezreal's Q poke damage is insufficient to force you out before you drain back to full health.
Synergy & Trading
- Your best pattern is to walk up and threaten your W to force Ezreal to burn E defensively, then immediately W the position he E'd to — Ezreal players habitually E to predictable safe spots, and landing W on his landing position sets up a free Kalista all-in; follow up with E pull to drag Ezreal back into Kalista's range if he tries to run.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should not roam early — your value in this lane is too high as the primary engage and sustain tool, and leaving Kalista in a 1v2 against Ezreal's safe poke removes your win condition; look to roam only after a successful kill that forces Ezreal and Milio to back, giving you a free window to impact mid.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not activate R prematurely just to sustain through poke — Milio's R cleanses your R's pull component and removes your team from the drain radius, wasting your ultimate entirely; wait until Milio's R is on cooldown or already used before committing to R in a fight.
