Is Lucian better when played alongside Kalista?

There is no perfect ally for Lucian that will always be his best ally. However, Kalista is a not very good teammate for Lucian. By being on the same team as Lucian, she drops their win rate by -2.1% to 46.7%. This signals that there is a harmful strategic relationship between Lucian and Kalista that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Kalista has a greater difficulty than Lucian. That means Lucian players need to be very careful when finding Kalista comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Fighting together, Lucian players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by pairing Lucian and Kalista together, you may not be providing your other allies enough crowd control. Plan to bring other champions on your team that helps cover this gap in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Kalista ally, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
