| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Veigar | You control level 1 by caging Kalista's committal hops while stacking Q safely. |
| Level 2 | Veigar | At level 2 your Event Horizon still punishes her Martial Poise pathing on approach. |
| Level 3 | Veigar | Through level 3 you outtrade her since she must hop into range to poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Veigar | At levels 4-5 your cage-into-Q combo keeps her from safely stacking Rend. |
| Level 6 | Kalista | At 6 Fate's Call plus her support gives Kalista a game-warping engage/disengage spike. |
| First item | Veigar | With a completed item your stacked Q combo one-shots her fragile frame. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | Your uncapped AP burst out-scales Kalista's ramp-reliant kit in teamfights. |
You hold levels 1-4: Kalista's Pierce poke and Rend stacks are strong but she must hop into range to apply them, and your Event Horizon punishes that committal Martial Poise movement, so cage her on approach and stack Baleful Strike freely.
