Read from Sivir's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Kalista.
This is Sivir's own plan; across 2,586 pooled games the lane is leaning Sivir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Kalista | Level 1 Kalista's hop-poke and Rend stacking beat your static autos. |
| Level 2 | Kalista | At 2 she keeps kiting your Q and out-trading you. |
| Level 3 | Kalista | Level 3 her Rend snowball and mobility control the lane. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kalista | Through 4-5 her hop-kite and spear stacks keep you on the back foot. |
| Level 6 | Kalista | Her level 6 Fate's Call plus Rend gives an all-in you can't answer yet. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item it evens as her per-spear damage plateaus and you catch up. |
| Two+ items | Sivir | With two items your cleave and R team-speed outscale her item-hungry, falloff kit. |
Kalista dominates the early levels: her passive hops let her auto-Q-auto and kite your Boomerang while stacking Rend on you, so play safe, block spears with minions, and save Spell Shield for her Q or a setup CC. Her hops kite the Boomerang, so aim through the minion she is moving toward instead of at her. Block a spear with the shield only when it is the setup for a real commit. Farm safely, shove when she is stacking rather than fighting, and let your support decide the terms.
