Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE MARTIAL POISE

Enter a movement command while winding up Kalista's basic attack or Pierce to lunge a short distance when she launches her attack.

1 PIERCE

Throw a fast moving spear that passes through enemies it kills.

2 SENTINEL

Gain bonus damage when Kalista and her Oathsworn strike the same target. Activate to send a soul to scout out the path, revealing the area in front of it.

3 REND

Attacks impale their targets with spears. Activate to rip the spears out, slowing and dealing escalating damage.

ULTIMATE FATE'S CALL

Kalista teleports the Oathsworn ally to herself. They gain the ability to dash toward a position, knocking enemy champions back.
