Hey everyone! We’re thrilled to unveil our newest champion crashing into the battlefield — Kalea, the Surging Wave. As the descendant of the Great Serpent, Kalea blends ancient mysticism with the raw force of the tides. She's a support fighter designed to thrive in the thick of battle, providing reliable single-target crowd control and healing to her allies — all while making a splash with her relentless close-combat prowess.
Let’s dive deep into her abilities and learn how to master her unique combat flow.
Every time Kalea casts a skill, she generates a water zone around her. If she casts another skill while standing in this zone, she'll absorb it — empowering her next three basic attacks with potent effects, including self-healing and healing for nearby allies.
This passive is the key to Kalea’s sustain and team utility. Positioning and timing will be essential — it’s not just about casting, it’s about where you cast from.
Kalea slams the ground with tremendous force, dealing physical damage and applying a slow to nearby enemies.
Wavebreaker is your primary way to trigger her passive and control enemies during skirmishes. It's simple, effective, and punishing when timed correctly.
Kalea’s most dynamic move, Rolling Wave is a two-part skill:
Part One: Kalea dashes forward. If she hits an enemy hero, she grabs them, lifts them airborne, and slams them back down, dealing physical damage. But there’s a twist: if she hits an obstacle or the edge of a water zone during the dash, she’ll leap into the air, unlocking part two.
Part Two: Kalea can dive to a target location, dealing AoE physical damage and knocking enemies airborne. This follow-up can be devastating in the right terrain or team setup.
Unleash the might of the deep! Kalea grabs an enemy hero with her serpentine tail and launches skyward, before slamming them down in a chosen direction. The impact deals physical damage to the target and nearby enemies. During this move, Kalea gains control immunity, making it a reliable tool in chaotic team fights.
Use it to peel, initiate, or simply obliterate.
Ganking Strategy:
Use Tidal Strike to close the gap and initiate with CC. Then follow up with Wavebreaker to trigger your passive, and unleash your enhanced basic attacks. Finish with consistent pressure through basic attacks and mobility.
Team Fight Strategy:
Kalea shines as a disruptive roamer in team fights. Focus on diving into the backline — especially enemy marksmen or mages. Start by dashing with Rolling Wave into an obstacle or water zone to unlock her aerial dive. After diving in and knocking enemies up, follow up immediately with her ultimate to isolate and disable a key target. Use Wavebreaker after landing to trigger the water zone and keep the momentum going.
Kalea is a unique blend of bruiser, support, and disruptor. She rewards smart positioning, creative playmaking, and a good sense of timing. Whether you’re leading the charge or saving your team in the nick of time, Kalea brings the force of the tides wherever she goes.
So gear up, dive in, and make waves — Kalea the Surging Wave is here!
