One of these champions is not usually played in this lane — treat the verdict as a rough guide.
How to play it
- Press early
Kalista is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Poke and back off
Use your range: hit, then step back before Irelia reaches you. Never stand where they can.
- Physical resistance
Irelia deals physical damage — Death's Dance as your 2nd or 3rd item.
When you are in danger
- Save your dash for CC
Don't dash in — keep it to escape Irelia's crowd control.

How to beat Irelia
- Stay spread — E (Flawless Duet) stuns if you line up
- Don't bunch with minions in her E arc — she'll stun through them
- Buy Mercury's Treads + Maw of Malmortius vs her mixed damage
- Pressure her before she stacks 4 passive — attack speed spikes hard
How to play as Kalista
- Stay behind the frontline, Infinity Edge + attack speed second, kite divers
- Time CC on priority targets (ADC or Mid) to set up your team
- Use dashes for poke and escape — never blink without an out
