Build Summary

Starting Build

Notes Blink is a great relic on Kali as is lets you blink stun someone and still have your jump up to chase if they have an escape ability. If necessary beads can be just as valuable in order to keep you alive, or to CC immune disarms.

If you feel that you aren't doing enough damage then buy silverbranch 5th and toxic 6th. If you feel they have too much healing then buy toxic 5th and silverbranch 6th.

Kali's Skill Order Notes Pretty basic stuff here. But with the new jungle rotations where you go to mid lane for level 2 after red buff, I would recommend leveling your jump before your stun to be able to play a little safer in lane. If you are just going to stay in the jungle after red you can do the Harpy's by green buff and level stun and try to make a gank in either Mid lane or Duo lane.
