Lethal Tempo
Attacking an enemy champion grants you [6% Melee || 4% Ranged] Attack Speed for 6 seconds, up to 6. At max stacks, deal [9 - 30 Melee || 6 - 24 Ranged]
bonus adaptive damage On-Attack, increased by 1% per 1% Bonus Attack Speed .Why?
Kalista is all about building as many [E] stacks as she possibly can to execute her targets and the burst of Attack Speed from Lethal tempo lets you do just that in a manner of seconds.
Absorb Life
Killing a target restores 1 - 23 Health based on level.
Why?
Overheal is a rune that synergizes well with Kalista's natural Life Steal item build to keep her topped off with a shield.
Legend: Bloodline
Gain
0.35% Life Steal for every Legend stack (max 15 stacks ). At maximum Legend stacks, gain85 max health .
Earn progress toward Legend stacks for every champion takedown, epic monster takedown, large monster kill, and minion kill.Why?
Kalista is all about attacking quickly to build [E] Rend stacks, and as such with each attack you are capable of life stealing. The extra bit of life steal allows you to tank more hits and sustain through the laning phase/trades.
Cut Down
Deal 8% more damage to champions who have more than 60% health.
Why?
Cut Down massively buffs your damage against front-line champions as well as mid laners who typically build Morellos or any other health item.
Absolute Focus
While above 70% health, gain an
adaptive bonus of up to 18 Attack Damage or 30 Ability Power (based on level).
Grants 1.8 Attack Damage or 3 Ability Power at level 1.Why?
Thanks to Kalista's natural Life Steal build, you should be able to stay above Absolute Focus' threshhold for the majority of the game granting you even more AD and lifesteal.
Gathering Storm
Every 10 min gain AP or AD,
adaptive .
10 min: + 8 AP or 5 AD
20 min: + 24 AP or 14 AD
30 min: + 48 AP or 29 AD
40 min: + 80 AP or 48 AD
50 min: + 120 AP or 72 AD
60 min: + 168 AP or 101 AD
etc...Why?
Gathering Storm is fantastic for further empowering late game AD Carries, epseically those who build a lot of Crit or Life Steal so that you can take over teamfights.
