Read from Senna's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Kalista.
This is Senna's own plan; across 4,741 pooled games the lane is leaning Senna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Senna | Level 1 your range out-trades her close-in autos. |
| Level 2 | Senna | Level 2 your W-Q punishes her before Rend stacks. |
| Level 3 | Senna | Level 3 you still hold the poke and root edge. |
| Levels 4-5 | Senna | Level 4 your range keeps the lane yours before her spike. |
| Level 6 | Kalista | Level 5 her Rend ramp and hop-kiting win the extended trade. |
| First item | Kalista | At one item her attack-speed Rend stacking and mobility out-DPS you. |
| Two+ items | Senna | At two-plus items your soul scaling and pick threat out-fight her fall-off. |
Levels 1-4 you out-range her: dodge her Q poke, W-root her when she hops in to stack Rend, and trade during her CS animations before her spears ramp. Her hop dodges a poke aimed at where she stands, so aim through the minion she is walking toward instead. Root her when she commits to a hop-in rather than on her retreat. Collect souls during her attack animations, and let the range you build rather than a trade decide this.
