Let me help rewrite that content in a clear, concise format focused on providing valuable information about Kalista:

Kalista excels as an early-game marksman in the bot lane, known for her unique mobility and high damage potential in prolonged fights.

Core Strengths:

  • Exceptional mobility through passive jump mechanics
  • Strong early-game presence
  • High damage potential in extended fights
  • Unique support synergy through Oathsworn mechanic

Key Abilities:

Passive - Martial Poise Allows Kalista to jump in any direction after basic attacks, though slows can hinder this mobility.

Q - Pierce

  • Throws a fast spear dealing damage to first target hit
  • Can transfer Rend stacks if it kills the target
  • Useful for last-hitting multiple minions in line

W - Sentinel

  • Active: Sends a patrolling ward that reveals champions
  • Passive (Oathsworn): Deals bonus damage when Kalista and bound ally attack same target
  • Executes minions below 125 health
  • Deals 14% max health magic damage to champions at level 1

E - Rend

  • Stacks spears in targets for 4 seconds
  • Active removes spears to deal damage and slow
  • Cooldown resets if it kills any target
  • Refunds mana on kill
  • Deals reduced damage to epic monsters

R - Fate's Call

  • Pulls Oathsworn ally to Kalista
  • Ally can launch toward target location
  • Knockups enemies on impact
  • Can be used both offensively and defensively

Skill Order Priority:

  1. Start with E (Rend)
  2. Q at level 2 (Pierce)
  3. W at level 3 (Sentinel)
  4. Max order: R > E > Q > W

Core Build Strategy: Focus on attack speed and on-hit effects rather than critical strike chance.

Lane Strategy:

  • Trade using Rend stacks on minions combined with champion hits
  • Coordinate attacks with support to maximize Oathsworn damage
  • Best support synergy with Thresh due to range and CC capabilities
  • Use mobility advantage to pressure lane and create kill opportunities
