"Predecessor" - Kallari Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jungle

Kallari's kit is so unbelievably obviously intended for the Jungle, that it's plainly absurd to even consider playing her anywhere else. Her entire gameplan is entirely reliant on taking her targets by surprise, which is only realistically possible if she's used as a Jungler.

She is the most fragile character in the entire game and can't withstand most 1-on-1 fights that are fought on equal terms. Because of this, while any player skilled enough can theoretically succeed doing anything, playing Kallari outside of the Jungle is generally an extremely bad idea.

Answer: Ability Power

Kallari's Abilities meshed with her passive are extremely powerful for her role. As an assassin, Kallari is intended to catch threats by surprise and quickly kill them before they can properly react. Her incredibly poor 1 for Durability does not allow for extended conflict under any circumstance, so using her very high Mobility to get in and out quickly is paramount.

Answer: Damaging enemies

Through any means, if Kallari damages a target, Death Mark will be applied. The damage dealt scales with Kallari's level and her Physical Power, which players will be building massively. Death Mark will deal worsening damage, and since this damage is dealt as True damage, it cannot be resisted by any armor.

As such, Kallari will only get deadlier and deadlier as the game goes on, adept at quickly taking someone out if she can get the jump on them.

Answer: Two

Because Kallari players are generally suited building Critical Strike and Armor Penetration items, landing two daggers meshed with Death Mark will pretty much always do a ton of damage to targets. It also afflicts victims with Slow. If Kallari can land both daggers against a target who does not have some means of immediate safety, she will probably kill the target in the process.

Answer: Armor Penetration

This passive aspect of Shadow Walk is a large reason why players are best suited building lots of Armor Penetration on Kallari. When Kallari is out of sight, and not seen by any enemy players, this passive will kick in and rapidly regenerate Kallari's health.

This is a key aspect to giving Kallari the sustain needed to fit the Jungle role, as her horrible frailty would otherwise make clearing early game camps out to be very tedious.

Answer: Yes

When backflipping, Kallari has a brief period of time where she can lock on to a nearby enemy. If done correctly, Kallari will swoop in on them from above and deal significant Physical damage. If Death Mark was previously applied, the damage increases.

This Ability is typically used as a 'closer' to a fight. If the fight has gone according to plan, the target is likely fleeing or trying to flee the Kallari player, and is at or about to be at very low health. The lock-on aspect makes it crucial to running these threats down, and its synergy with Death Mark makes it ever reliable at doing the deed.

Answer: Target's missing health

This is what's generally referred to by the community as a "pseudo-Execute" mechanic. The Ability deals up to 2.5x extra damage based on the target's missing health. Because Kallari will typically be ignoring most if not all of a target's armor, this Ability will pretty much always do loads of damage regardless of who it hits. Because of the psuedo-Execute, it is adept at closing a fight out.

Because Kallari lunges in a straight line, this Ability can hit multiple targets. This is perfect for ambushing a team trying to complete an Objective. If Kallari manages to hit multiple targets with it, an ensuing team fight will be off to a very lopsided start in favor of her team.

Answer: Ability Cooldown reduction

Kallari's Abilities typically have more than manageable cooldowns. And since Kallari will have just killed or helped kill a target, the likelihood that she immediately needs her Abilities again is typically low. Having said that, this Augment can potentially come in somewhat handy in team fights.

Answer: Minor mana restoration

Because this Augment is dependent on Kallari landing Crippling Daggers, and because Kallari is pretty much assured a kill if she manages to land Crippling Daggers, this Augment is usually rather niche.

Answer: They can Critically Strike

This Augment is the magic behind Kallari killing people before they even know what happened. The reduction in Critical damage is noteworthy, but not enough to deter this Augment from being by far the clear and away best choice for Kallari of the three options. Crippling Daggers being able to critically hit combos beautifully with irresistible True damage ensuing Death Mark deals. Guillotine can critically hit as well.

This Augment is solely responsible for one magnificent feat Kallari can solely claim. With it equipped and Guillotine getting the full 2.5x boost, assuming an optimal build, Kallari can deal more damage in one single hit than any other character in the entire game. In fact, it's not even close. And achieving this peak is actually very reasonable, but only with this Hero Augment.

Suffice it to say, if Omeda Studios removed Execution Mandate and Deadly Finesse from the game, diehard Kallari players probably wouldn't even notice.
