3. When to Play Kalista Duelist?

• When you find multiple Kalista and Yasuo copies early.
• When you get Chosen Yasuo Duelist or Chosen Kalista Duelist.

1. Strengths:

• High damage output.
• Extremely strong with the right items.

2. Weaknesses:

• Requires core items to function.
• Weak frontline.

1. Early Game

• Focus on using Chosen Yasuo Duelist as your early-game carry.
• You can reroll at level 5 to get 3-star Yasuo.
• If too many players are contesting Yasuo, use him to stabilize, then level up to find Chosen Kalista instead.
• If Yasuo is not your main carry, his items will later be transferred to Yone.

2. Mid Game

• The ideal scenario is finding Chosen Kalista Duelist.
• Add 6 Duelists to maximize damage output.
• Reroll for 3-star Kalista at level 7.

3. Late Game

• After securing the necessary 3-star units, level up to 8 to complete the comp.
• With Chosen Duelist and a Duelist Emblem, you can activate 8 Duelists for a full power spike.
• At level 9, you can add either one more Divine or one more Adept.
• Adept is usually the better choice since it slows down the enemy’s attack speed, reducing the weakness of a weak frontline.

• Scout opponents regularly to avoid being contested.
• Only play this comp if you get the core items (Bows and Swords are highly contested).
• Prioritize Augments that help with rolling to secure your 3-star units.
• Position your units in a tight formation to avoid being targeted by Assassins.
