Kalista new champion first look + tips

Here is a quick little video where I give a first look at the new champion that was released on the league of legends public beta environment, Kalista. I use gameplay footage of my first game. Overall I think Kalista is a strong new ad carry that will be played quite often. She will likely be strong upon release and nerfed a bit later on as Riot has done in the past with nearly every strong new champion. If you like this video format, and the whole 'first look gameplay' then be sure to tell me so I can upload more!

Riot does a good job of introducing the champion, abilities, and even strong support picks for efficient synergy over on this page.

as shown here:

I expect builds to be popping up all over Solodmid and several other places as well and as soon as they are I will be updating this post and linking them here. SOLODMID BUILDS

As for runes and masteries I suggest you set up like any other ad carry would. Possibly adding some attack speed variation.

If you're interesting in seeing me upload a complete game playing Kalista, or anything else then let me know!

Thanks for watching guys!

Video Transcription:

Whenever you use an attack, even a basic attack you can click elsewhere and Kalista will dash in that direction as soon as the attack animation is finished. This can be used both offensively, and defensively. You can use it to dodge attacks, initiate trades, or even just run away.
Next is her Q, Pierce. This is a fairly simple skill used primarily for damage and trades but it has 2 great added benefits. The first being that it triggers your passive so it will allow you to dash as soon as the animation is complete. The second being that it adds a stack of "rend" which we will get into soon
Her next ability is Sentinel. It enabled you to send out a sentinel that will find and discover enemies, and even follow them for a short time. Sentinel's passive is what is most strong about the skill. It works with an active item that you get exclusively on this champion. Once the active item is used the passive will become available. Whenever Kalista and her bound ally attack a minion, monster, or enemy at the same time they deal bonus damage. This is great added damage in lane!
Her next ability is her E, Rend. Remember those stacks of rend we were applying with our Q ability, Pierce? Each of those spears will add a stack of rend and you wil be able to activate the ability to deal damage for each spear as well as slow them down. If the enemy dies Rend's cooldown resets. I'm going to admit I do a terrible job of utilizing this skill during the gameplay.
Lastly is her ultimate Fate's Call. This ultimate is used primarily with your "Soul-Bound" partner. Meaning whoever you used that active item on will be soul bound to you. Using her ultimate will bring your soul bound ally to you and make them invulnerable. They will then be able to dash to a target within 1400 radius knocking the enemies up with the strike. There is no doubt about the greatness of this ultimate.
During this game I build like a normal ad carry, however as the latest and strongest builds are released I will link them in the description below.
With everything being said please feel free to add your Kalista tips in the comment section below, and enjoy my very first Kalista game!
