Guide to Synergizing Kalista and Ekko

Tips for Playing as Kalista with Ekko

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.

Advice to Understand How Ekko Will Play

Chronobreak is a potent escape tool, but it can also be quite powerful when used offensively. Don't underestimate its damage potential.

If you can proc Z-Drive Resonance on an enemy champion, it's worth taking risks to do so. The bonus Move Speed makes it easy to escape.

Phase Dive's dash is a great tool for setting up Ekko's other abilities. Use it to get double hits with Timewinder or get into position to detonate Parallel Convergence.
