How to Beat Kalista as Sivir (ADC)

The Sivir versus Kalista matchup as ADC is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Except for rare builds, Sivir deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Kalista deals mainly physical damage (79.85%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Sivir is higher farming statistics (ranked 1st among role champions) (versus 28th for Kalista), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.9 versus 2.6) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Sivir ADC versus Kalista ADC matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Sivir player to maintain constant pressure on Kalista, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Sivir tips:

  • Sivir's Boomerang Blade returns to her after reaching the max range, so you can shift position to hit enemies who would otherwise have evaded it.
  • Ricochet resets Sivir's basic attack timer on activation, so activating this immediately after landing a normal basic attack will maximize damage output.
  • Try saving Spell Shield for enemy abilities that can disable you such as stuns and roots.

Playing Against Kalista

  • Kalista's mobility is dependent upon attacking. This means it is low when she is outside of her attack range and that Attack Speed slows reduce the amount of distance she can cover in an engagement.
  • Kalista cannot cancel her basic attack wind up. While she is very mobile, this offers a window to land spells on her if you anticipate when she will begin attacking.
  • If you can break line of sight from Kalista, including through brush, her basic attacks will miss you, falling harmlessly to the ground.
