How Paige beats Calico
Your game plan as Paige
A bookish support who shields her carry and floods the city with knights.
Lane
Plot Armor on your lane partner gives them a barrier and damage. Bookwyrm pokes and zones.
Mid game
Captivating Read slows, then immobilises. Set it up before the fight starts.
Late game
Rallying Charge crosses the entire map: heal allies and damage enemies in every lane.
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.
