칼리코는 그림자를 유리하게 활용하여 전장을 이리저리 누비며 적군을 한 명씩 사냥합니다.
This is for the players that want to try Calico for the first time. Includes a lot of situational buying.
Also includes a lot of info from the AVG Calico guide on statlocker.gg. Go check it out!
Basically Wulfees build but a bit different.
Calicos Laning Stage really depends on who are you laning WITH and who you are laning AGAINST. If you think you have a powerful duo and you can kill the enemy in lane, prioritise early damage items such as Spirit Strike, Backstabber and Cold Front. But, Calico is weak in most lanes, so buy items like Melee Lifesteal, Enchanters Emblem, Healing Rite and Extra Health to stay alive. Remember, losing guardian is BETTER than losing guardian AND duying! Reminder: Sinners Sacrifice spawns at 8 minutes, and it is REALLY worth to get it at that timing. Remember to box farm in Cat Form, you can break boxes nearby by pressing your melee key without having to cancel cat.
Mid Game is where Calico starts to get active. Your biggest powerspike is T3 ult, after which you are able to win most fights 1v1. Maintain high soul value by constantly using to run boxes, invading their jungle and clearing camps. Your goal is to pressure the enemy team as much as you can. Try to always take trades with the enemy to pressure them, giving your team more space. Souls are REALLY important on Calico, so find a balance between farming and fighting.Usually being around 4 k souls above most of the enemy players is more than enough to do devastating damage. Remember to get mid boxes at 10 minutes and every time they respawn

I don't buy this usually since Calico has bad Spirit Power scaling, only buy this if you don't want to build other T4s from this category for some reason
Your goals don't really change. Participate in important teamfights, gank enemies, keep a soul lead, pick off high priority targets pressure them
