introduction

so you want to play kali but your not really sure how to use her abilities or what to build on her, well in this build i will show you what i build and how i use her abilities, kali is a god that i find you have to play to real get a feel of her so im not going to teach you how to play because everyone is different. so this is my first build/guide, it works for me and i manage to do well with her, so if it works for you tell me in the comments cause i would love some feedback

kalis abilities

ok so kalis abilities well in my opinion they are some of the best in the game.

passive: enrage
Kali starts with lifesteal. When Kali falls below 25% health, she gets Enraged, gaining additional lifesteal for a short time. Can only occur once a minute.
Ability: Buff
Affects: Self
Passive Lifesteal: 5%
Enraged Lifesteal: 20%
Enraged Lifetime: 5 seconds
this passive will allow you to sustain in lane for much longer and if you play like me and you push alot your gonna need some sustain.

1. kali rage
Kali fuels herself with her rage, increasing her physical power and movement speed for a short time.
Ability: Buff
Affects: Self
Physical Power: 15/25/35/45/55
Movement Speed: 15/20/25/30/35%
Lifetime: 6 seconds
Cost: 55/60/65/70/75
Cooldown: 15 seconds
this abilitie is my second most used abilities on kali with the big power increase and massive movement speed increase if a god trys to get away pop this and chase em i can almost promise that you will catch them and if you still have some juice left in this you can hit them hard a few times before using you 2.

2.blood lash
Kali strikes out at all enemies in a cone in front of her, dealing damage to them all.
Ability: Cone
Affects: Enemy
Damage Type: Physical
Damage: 85/155/225/295/365 (+110% of your physical power)
Cost: 60/70/80/90/100
Cooldown: 15/14/13/12/11 seconds
this move in my opinion is over powered hitting 365 damage maxed out if you can out level the enemy early on and max this quick you can take out huge chunks of the enemys health giving your lane the chance to push hard and lot of the time secure kills. i will usually use this just after poping my 1 so i can get in quick deal a huge chunk with this and then continue to hit hard with the buff 1 gives.

3.siphon blood
Kali saps enemies of their blood, causing damage to all enemies in the area while healing herself for each enemy hit, up to 3.
Ability: Area
Affects: Enemy
Damage Type: Physical
Radius: 20
Damage: 50/70/90/110/130 (+30% of your physical power)
Heal per Hit: 50/70/90/110/130 (+30% of your physical power)
Max Heal Targets: 3
Cost: 65
Cooldown: 12 seconds
this move is extremely helpfull early game, as an example, if you are able to kill 1 god but the other god is low you can heal a huge chunk of health just from hitting minions with it and then targeting the final enemy god using your 1 to catch them then 2 to damage them and you damage buff from the 1 to take out chunks to secure a double kill, then rushing back to minions to heal yourself then with the lifesteal your first 2 items get you combined with your passive you can get back to at least 3/4 health in no time.

4.frenzy
Kali spins around feverishly attacking all enemies around her every .5s, clearing and ignoring all crowd control abilities on herself for the duration.
Ability: Area
Affects: Enemy
Damage Type: Physical
Radius: 20
Damage per Tick: 60/75/90/105/120 (+15% of your physical power)
Duration: 5 seconds
Cost: 60/70/80/90/100
Cooldown: 90/85/80/75/70 seconds
this is one of the most over powered ults in the game if used well there isnt much i can say for this one other than use your 1 and 2 combo then use the ult to secure the kill if laning with hades i will say that you should combo your ults once he using his ult you can then use you ult over the top securing a double kill most of the time if not you can chase down with your one and finish with your 2 as always. one thing to remember how ever is the fact that this ult also gives you an anti cc so you can also use it as an escape if need be.

Pros / Cons

pros
-high dps
-high chaseing (with the 1)
-high lifesteal
-ult and 2 can take chunks out of other gods in seconds
-can counter and kill most ap gods
-fully built can solo firegiant


cons
-low escape
-if shut down early can be hard to catch up
