This is Seraphine's own plan; across 3,542 pooled games the lane is leaning Seraphine.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Kalista | Kalista's Hop passive dodges your poke and wins level-1 trades. |
| Level 2 | Kalista | At level 2 she kites your Q/E and stacks spears freely. |
| Level 3 | Kalista | Level 3 Rend burst punishes any trade you attempt. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kalista | Through 4-5 her mobility and Pierce poke keep her ahead. |
| Level 6 | Kalista | Level 6 R Fate's Call dodges Encore and re-engages on you. |
| First item | Kalista | First item ramps her spear-stack Rend burst over you. |
| Two+ items | Seraphine | Late game your AoE utility and chain-CC finally outscale her kite. |
Kalista bullies levels 1-5: her Hop passive lets her dodge your Q and E while stacking spears and poking with Pierce, so she wins every extended trade -- give up contested CS, farm safe, and never fight into her mobility. Her hops dodge both your skillshots, so aim through the minion she is moving toward rather than at her. Give up the contested CS. Build notes off the wave, keep the shield for the moment she hops in, and let your support rather than your poke decide when the lane is worth contesting.
