How to Use Kalista Counter Data
This page ranks Kalista’s ADC matchups in League of Legends using actual ranked results rather than guesswork. Kalista has the rough time against Seraphine, Karthus and Brand, where her win rates sit lowest in the present dataset. Seraphine is the hardest of the group: Kalista has won only 42.4% of 366 logged games against her. Mel, Lux and Zeri, on the other hand, are matchups where Kalista does well, so they are the safer lanes to take.
Every card lists Kalista’s win rate along with the sample size behind it, and a figure built on tens of thousands of games deserves more weight than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even and Hard tags are derived from the win rate itself (under 48% is Hard, over 52% is Easy), so treat them as a quick guide rather than an independent measurement. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, reflects patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so expect the numbers to shift as the meta does. For the best items and runes, see the current Kalista build, and for abilities and complete champion details, visit the Kalista champion page.
