Guide to Synergizing Draven and Kalista

Tips for Playing as Draven with Kalista

If Draven doesn't move, Spinning Axe will fall near his present location. It will fall directly on him, or just to the right or left.

If Draven does move after attacking, Spinning Axe will lead him in the direction of his movement. Use this to control where the Spinning Axe will go.

Advice to Understand How Kalista Will Play

Rend is a valuable last hitting aid, since its cooldown resets if it kills a target.

Entering a move order once to trigger Martial Poise will not clear Kalista's basic attack target.

Due to her passive, Kalista's Move Speed is effectively increased by Attack Speed.
