Draven
Draven's early game is probably best in the game if he can go in with his support. Don't let him get 2nd level before your. Kalista have great early but this guy's damage is something different. Don't try to trade 1 attack with him because his Q gives his overall bigger damage. Try to get his health down when he's catching axes or trying to reach minions.
Taric
Great pick paired with Kalista, he can play very aggresive with his cooldown procs on healing. Also you can reposition very well with you passive to hit those stuns. His ultimate makes you immortal as it helps you reach your 6 stacks on Lethal Tempo.

Pros
+ High mobility + Powerful pick after mastering + One of the best Baron Nashor/ Dragon secure + Good 'ulti combo' + Best kiting in game Kalista is one of the best ADC on duoQ. Her Fate's Call can do really good job with smart support (especially if you can communicate). It also can save your support's life as well as you can use it to engage teamfights. She is in my opinion best 'wombo combo' champs (as ADC). She can do incredibly high damage if Rend is used properly. |
Cons
- Poor early game - Squishy - Even with high mobility - can be caught with gap closers - Hard to master - Only 90% ad converts into auto attack damage She is really hard to play. Her ultimate depends on other person. If that person is tilted or int, it's useless. Her jumps makes her attack speed slower above about 2 as (because of animation). |
Hail of Blades
Bonuses:
- 10% Attack Speed - (can also be additional 5.4 Attack Damage but I prefer attack speed due to Rend)
- 5.4 Attack Damage (adaptive) - some amount of damage that helps killing creeps, fighting and scaling your abilities
- 6 Armor - quite good after buffs, can also be 8 Magic Resists against magic compositions.
Runes:
Hail of Blades - more attack speed for next 3 auto attacks = more burst damage. It's really helps winning early fights. You can use it with Rend to poke enemies - use basic attack on low health minion then attack 3 times champion then 'take out' spears (you'll get mana back, cooldown back).
Sudden Impact - due to Kalista's passive Martial Poise it's best choise here.
Eyeball Collection - I prefer this rune that other 2 because you won't clear as much wards as support ( Zombie Ward) and you won't put this much wards ( Ghost Poro due to Farsight Alteration).
Ravenous Hunter - You won't profit Relentless Hunter and Ingenious Hunter too much and Kalista's spears deal a lot of damage so I take this hunter. Sometimes I take Ultimate Hunter when my team composition is about combo.
Second runes:
Legend: Alacrity and Coup de Grace - they both make your potential damage higher. I used to use Gathering Storm and Absolute Focus and it wasn't bad at all. I prefer Precision runes when they have better scaling and Sorcery runes when your team composition depends on late game.

R>E>Q>W
Rend is our main damage ability and it's must have to max that first. You can use it to secure farm or to slow sometimes. I do max Q Pierce because it gives you some burst and tricky jump. Sentinel helps you to control vision. Your ultimate Fate's Call depends on your teammate so be careful. You can use it as initiate and also as rescue for support (especially good with Tahm Kench and Thresh). |

More about Kalista
1. When you are harrasing someone do 1 or more attacks on minion (depends on it's health) because you can use Rend to deal damage to opponent, refund mana and cooldown, also kill that minion.
2. Use Sentinel to control vision. You can check if there is jungler or if enemy team is doing objectives.
3. pirce passes through enemies when it kills it. For example if there is meele minion & caster minion in line and melee minion has low health that Q can kill it, it'll hit also caster and take every spear that you stacked on melee.
More about ADC role
1. Use wards. Your support isn't the only person in team that should buy Control Wards. Don't be scare to spend 75 gold, it's about 3 melee minions - it can save you from enemy jungler or roaming midlaner. It's better to spend 75 gold than give 300 gold to enemy and lose farm.
