I played Kalista so you don’t have to.
How to play her?
Well.. Start by putting the metronome in the background :D
This is one of those champs that looks simple, feels illegal, and somehow gets worse the more you understand it.
Pro players love her. SoloQ does not.

1: practice ALL her mechanics in practice tool, do tests on target dummy with passive at different attack speeds so you get a feel for it and the timing. Also look up how to "double rend", this is not actually that hard to do but you will want to practice it, its also possible to get a "triple rend" although I honestly have only ever pulled that off a few times in a real game since its a frame perfect sequence to get the third rend off one E.
2: play duo with a support - like sure you can do well with some random but if you want to actually feel how strong kalista CAN be, go duo with a support who can play around your R and set up. Kalista feels like a completely different champion when you are in sync with your support and/or jungler
3: Learn your damage profile well, when you have an execute reset on your E and its your biggest button you BETTER BE LANDING THE EXECUTE or you will be very upset and die a lot. Kalista is one of them champions where you really do need to have a good idea on how many autos you need before your E is lethal
Good video by the way, yeah its absolutely insane how "easy" kalista seems from the outside looking in, having clean movement on kalista is HARD to do consistently but it does feel great when you develop some mastery in it
PS: Berserker grieves are your best early game boots but honestly I think its a trap to build them over the new vamp boots or defensive boots options, that 35% attack speed feels good early but it becomes redundant after you got some attack speed adc items where taking less auto attack damage or having omnivamp would of served you better. I personally only go berserker's if I am rushing a bloodthirster first item (and if i think the game is going to be decided by 20 mins)
