Read from Kalista's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sivir.
This is Kalista's own plan; across 2,586 pooled games the lane is leaning Sivir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Kalista | You win level 1 because Kalista's spear stacking and hop out-trade Sivir's mana-hungry Boomerang. |
| Level 2 | Kalista | Level 2 favours you as your Rend-plus-Pierce poke beats her single-spell early kit. |
| Level 3 | Kalista | At level 3 your full hop-and-E combo lets you walk her down before she can kite. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kalista | Levels 4-5 stay yours with superior mobility and burst while her R is still offline. |
| Level 6 | Kalista | At level 6 Fate's Call adds an engage Sivir simply cannot dash away from. |
| First item | Kalista | At first item you keep the 2v2 edge before her Spell Shield and On the Hunt matter. |
| Two+ items | Sivir | By two items Sivir flips it — Spell Shield eats your engage and Ricochet plus R rule the teamfight. |
You out-trade Sivir at levels 1-2: her early damage is Boomerang-reliant and mana-hungry, so hop onto her whenever she throws it to farm and blow her back off the wave. Her shield eats a spear, so throw one you can afford to lose and keep stacking through it. Hop in as she winds up a Boomerang Blade, when she cannot raise it. Sentinel the river so your support knows whether her push is safe to punish or an invitation.
