Kali Season 9 Pen Build

Achilles | Even

Decent Matchup, hard to stick to with his ult and both his dashes and stun. May need Hastened Katana if you plan on ganking his lane a lot. Your ult counters his ult.

Ao Kuang | Even

Should be able to fight as long as your ult is up for his ult

Arachne | Even

Be carful in the early game. She has a very strong heal on her 1 that you wont be able to contend with until you have some items online. She is hard to all-in because she can escape very easily with her ult. Beads may also be necessary in order to fight her in the jungle.

Bacchus | Even

Bacchus has decent CC but if your patient enough he should waste it on either waves during laning phase, or you tanks during late game.

Bakasura | Even

Bakasura should be a decent matchup for you. You should only engage in 1 on 1 situations with him when his ult is down.

Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 19 [display_name] => Bakasura [url] => bakasura ) [scoreVal] => 3 [notes] => Bakasura should be a decent matchup for you. You should only engage in 1 on 1 situations with him when his ult is down. ) 1

Fenrir | Even

Fenrir is a solid jungler but as Kali you can cancel a good amount of his damage by stunning his brutalize. Make sure you have beads so he cant pick you up and take you to his teamates when he's losing the fight.

Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 35 [display_name] => Fenrir [url] => fenrir ) [scoreVal] => 3 [notes] => Fenrir is a solid jungler but as Kali you can cancel a good amount of his damage by stunning his brutalize.

Nike | Even

Even with her ult and her disarm she should be a relatively easy gank for you and your solo laner. Just attack whenever her ult is down. I would hold stun and trade through her 1 and then stun in order to cancel her 2.

Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 83 [display_name] => Nike [url] => nike ) [scoreVal] => 3 [notes] => Even with her ult and her disarm she should be a relatively easy gank for you and your solo laner.

Tsukuyomi | Even

When jungling against Tsukuyomi be aware of the Disarm and stun on his 2. You'll have to try and hold your stun as long as possible to be able to cancel this ability. He will also be very hard to stick to with the movement speed steal on his 1, and the slow on his 3. Avoid 1v1'ing him in the early stages of the game, He will out damage you. only fight him if you have an item advantage, or if you are with a teammate and you catch him out of position. In the late game you should be able to take him out easily.

Agni | Major

Agni does A LOT of damage that you need to be aware of. He also has a lot of options to Stun you. He will be very hard to lock down on a gank and I would recommend avoiding going on him until late game or unless you've gotten fed off of other lanes. If you decide to try and kill him early beads will be a necessity and you will probably need to have ult up for every engagement.

Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 18 [display_name] => Agni [url] => agni ) [scoreVal] => 2 [notes] => Agni does A LOT of damage that you need to be aware of.

Amaterasu | Major

She has good mobility, heals, and damage with her 1, 3, and ult plus a stun on her ult. Will be very difficult to lock down during ganks.

Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 72 [display_name] => Amaterasu [url] => amaterasu ) [scoreVal] => 2 [notes] => She has good mobility, heals, and damage with her 1, 3, and ult plus a stun on her ult. Will be very difficult to lock down during ganks. ) 1

Aphrodite | Major

Avoid focusing a Aprhodite, with her kiss, knockback, heals, and ult she will be almost impossible to catch out and focusing her is a waste of time and abilities.

Awilix | Major

Awilix is a very hard hitting assassin that you need to be careful with. She will out damage you in the early-mid portions of the game and you will have to heavily rely on your ult to fight her. Jumping away when losing the fight isnt an option as she will just ult you back. You must be aware of her ult cooldown and position through out the game in order to fight her.

Chaac | Major

I would say to avoid fighting chaac as kali one on one early and mid game. If you try to gank his lane you'll have to wait until his 3 is down because the attack speed reduction and slow will be too much for you.

Khepri | Major

Khepri can be a problem if he decides to lock you down. If he hits you with his root and pull combo you will be easily taken out by the rest of his team.

Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 68 [display_name] => Khepri [url] => khepri ) [scoreVal] => 2 [notes] => Khepri can be a problem if he decides to lock you down. If he hits you with his root and pull combo you will be easily taken out by the rest of his team. ) 1

Kumbhakarna | Major

***bha is a god with so much CC it hurts. If he chooses to focus you in team fights he can easily lock you down for about 5 seconds.

Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 52 [display_name] => Kumbhakarna [url] => kumbhakarna ) [scoreVal] => 2 [notes] => Kumbha is a god with so much CC it hurts. If he chooses to focus you in team fights he can easily lock you down for about 5 seconds. ) 1

Ne Zha | Major

Ne Zha is'nt very scary in the early and mid game, but when it comes to late game he has the ability to ult and one shot you before you can use your ult if your beads are down.

Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 34 [display_name] => Ne Zha [url] => ne-zha ) [scoreVal] => 2 [notes] => Ne Zha is'nt very scary in the early and mid game, but when it comes to late game he has the ability to ult and one shot you before you can use your ult if your beads are down. ) 1

Sol | Major

You'll have to be very careful when deciding to go in on sol. In the early stages of the game your ganks will have to be well timed and thought out since she has a slow as well as a ton of damage in her 2. Also since she has a damage immune ability with her 3. The best way to gank a sol will be to wait for her to 2 the wave and then blink/jump on her and stun. This should force her to use her 3. After she uses her 3 disengage and try to re gank immediately while its still on cooldown. Sentry wards on her side of the jungle will be very valuable for you.

Ah Muzen Cab | Minor

Has high damage and movement speed. I would recommend a hastened Katana in order to stick to him. Be aware of the cripple and slow on his ult. you can use your ult to immune the slow but if you need to use jump you may want to go beads.

Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 45 [display_name] => Ah Muzen Cab [url] => ah-muzen-cab ) [scoreVal] => 4 [notes] => Has high damage and movement speed.

Anhur | Minor

Has high damage but should be easy to take out whenever your blink and ult are up. Engage with blink after he uses his 2 on wave. hold your stun until he jumps. chase with your jump and then stun. you can ult his ult if necessary or ult to slow immune his pillar.

Anubis | Minor

I would recommend a 3rd item toxic blade and starting with beads if your planning on focusing anubis. you should be able to beads his wrap if needed and just ult when he ults and you and your mid laner should be able to take him down easily.

Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 6 [display_name] => Anubis [url] => anubis ) [scoreVal] => 4 [notes] => I would recommend a 3rd item toxic blade and starting with beads if your planning on focusing anubis. you should be able to beads his wrap if needed and just ult when he ults and you and your mid laner should be able to take him down easily. ) 1

Artemis | Minor

Should be easy to lock down if you catch her without her support. Just have beads ready for her ult.

Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 1 [display_name] => Artemis [url] => artemis ) [scoreVal] => 4 [notes] => Should be easy to lock down if you catch her without her support. Just have beads ready for her ult. ) 1

Ah Puch | Tiny

Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 65 [display_name] => Ah Puch [url] => ah-puch ) [scoreVal] => 5 [notes] => ) 1

Zeus | Tiny

Should be the easiest mid laner to kill. You will just have to ult if he drops his ult on you.

Ares | Maximum

Ares can be a big problem for you. He does a moderate amount of damage and can easily lock you down with chains and his ult. all while providing extra protections to his allies.

Artio | Maximum

Has multiple CC option's for peel with a stun, cripple, slow, and a root. During teamfights try and sneak your way to her backline with either a blink or your jump over a wall.

Athena | Maximum

Be careful when engaging with Athena nearby. Her taunt is great peel for squishy's, and if she hits you with it you will probably be dead before you can use your ult. She also has block stacks and a dash which can make ganking her a nuisance.

Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 37 [display_name] => Athena [url] => athena ) [scoreVal] => 1 [notes] => Be careful when engaging with Athena nearby.

Bellona | Maximum

Bellona is a obvious threat to Kali. She has great sustain, damage, and boxing ability with her block stacks. She is literally built to be able to destroy any god in a auto attack battle.
