Your game plan as Lady Geist

A blood-mage who spends her own health to take yours.

How to beat Calico

A shadow-hunter who appears, bursts and vanishes before anyone can turn around.

• 01Move in pairs once she leaves lane; Calico hunts solo targets.
• 02Make her use Return to Shadows before you spend your big cooldown.
• 03Spread out against Gloom Bombs. Extra bomb hits deal reduced damage, but a full cluster still hurts.

1. 01Lady Geist out-farms Calico by ~54.4 last hits per match. Contest every orb and punish them for walking up to last-hit.
2. 02Calico looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
3. 03Your own sustain (Life Drain) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
