This skin allows players to embody the spirit of SK Telecom T1 and channel their success onto the battlefield.
As a champion, Kalista has a unique and tragic backstory. She was once a mortal woman named Kalista Cervantes, who lived in the Blessed Isles. The Blessed Isles were a beautiful and prosperous land until the Black Mist, a malevolent force, consumed it. Kalista, along with countless others, fell victim to the Black Mist and was transformed into a vengeful spirit.
Now known as the Spear of Vengeance, Kalista seeks retribution against those who wronged her and the people of the Blessed Isles. She is bound to her oath and cannot rest until her enemies are vanquished. Kalista's appearance reflects her tormented past, with her spectral form and haunting eyes.
In the game, Kalista is classified as a marksman, specializing in dealing high amounts of damage from a distance. Her unique ability, 'Soul-Bound,' allows her to form a pact with a chosen ally, granting them powerful bonuses and the ability to save each other from death. This ability adds a strategic element to Kalista's gameplay, as players must carefully choose their soul-bound ally and coordinate their actions.
Kalista's strengths lie in her ability to kite enemies, meaning she can attack while constantly moving to avoid being caught. Her passive ability, 'Martial Poise,' allows her to hop around the battlefield, making her a difficult target to hit. Additionally, her ultimate ability, 'Fate's Call,' allows her to pull her soul-bound ally to her location, potentially turning the tide of a team fight.
However, Kalista also has weaknesses that players must be aware of. She is relatively squishy and lacks mobility without her passive ability. Additionally, her damage output relies heavily on her ability to stack spears on her enemies, meaning she requires time to ramp up her damage. Kalista also struggles against champions with high burst damage or crowd control abilities, as they can quickly take her down before she has a chance to retaliate.
Overall, Kalista is a complex and rewarding champion to master. Her unique mechanics and playstyle make her a favorite among skilled players who enjoy the challenge of maximizing her potential. With the 'SKT T1 Kalista' skin, players can not only showcase their love for the SK Telecom T1 team but also add a touch of style and flair to their Kalista gameplay.

Lore:
A specter of wrath and retribution, Kalista is the undying spirit of vengeance, an armored nightmare summoned from the Shadow Isles to hunt deceivers and traitors. The betrayed may cry out in blood to be avenged, but Kalista only answers those willing to pay with their very souls. Those who become the focus of Kalista's wrath should make their final peace, for any pact sealed with this grim hunter can only end with the cold, piercing fire of her soul-spears.
Ally tips:
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.
Enemy tips:
Kalista's mobility is dependent upon attacking. This means it is low when she is outside of her attack range and that Attack Speed slows reduce the amount of distance she can cover in an engagement.Kalista cannot cancel her basic attack wind up. While she is very mobile, this offers a window to land spells on her if you anticipate when she will begin attacking.If you can break line of sight from Kalista, including through brush, her basic attacks will miss you, falling harmlessly to the ground.
