Guide to Synergizing Nautilus and Kalista

Tips for Playing as Nautilus with Kalista

While ganking, consider aiming Dredge Line at nearby terrain and following it up with Riptide for a higher hit rate.

Riptide has a delayed blast timing on activation - you can use this while running away or when enemies are incoming to serve as a deterrent.

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.

Kalista has a greater difficulty than Nautilus. That means Nautilus players should be careful when arranging Kalista allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to work well with you.
