Kalea

Kalea, the Surging Wave, is a support who plays in the Roam.

Also known as Surging Wave

Lore

With her serpent tail, this proud descendant of the Great Serpent swims gracefully through the Vonetis Sea, aspiring to one day carry the full power of her heritage. The descendant of the legendary Great Serpent, Kalea once had trouble accepting her human-like body. But after discovering who she was, she learned to fight with her fists and powerful serpent tail while healing allies with the power of the Great Serpent surging inside her. Always full of energy, she is the proud protector of the Vonetis Sea. However, when faced with gratitude from others, she tends to put on a facade of arrogance to hide her shyness—after all, she has to live up to her reputation as the descendant of the Great Serpent!

Surge of Life

Buff

After casting a skill, Kalea creates a Water Zone on the ground. When Kalea casts a skill within this zone, she absorbs it to enhance her next 3 Basic Attacks with different effects: First Basic Attack: Kalea dashes to the target, dealing (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage. Second Basic Attack: Kalea unleashes a flurry of attacks, dealing 140 (+8*Hero Level) (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage and recovering (+12% Max HP) (+80% Total Magic Power) HP to herself and the nearby ally with the lowest HP. Third Basic Attack: Kalea strikes around the target with her tail, dealing 70 (+4*Hero Level) (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage and creating a new Water Zone. Enhanced Basic Attacks are not affected by Attack Speed. Control effects can affect Kalea during the third Enhanced Basic Attack, but cannot interrupt it.

Counter / cooperate relationship

Matchups

Counters

Kalea counters heroes who lack mobility like Layla and Chang'e.

Countered by

However, Kalea cannot grab enemies with Control Immunity, so heroes like Diggie and Minotaur can effectively counter her.

Compatibility

Kalea's strong single-target CC makes her work well with heroes who have high single-target burst, like Eudora, Harley, and Clint.

Best teammates

Official combos

Combos

Laning Combos

While ganking with Kalea, use her 2nd Skill to close in and CC the target, then use her 1st Skill to activate her enhanced Basic Attacks and unleash them on the target.

Teamfight Combos

In teamfights, Kalea should prioritize enemy Mages or Marksmen. Use the first part of her 2nd Skill to dash into an obstacle near the target, then dive down to CC them, and follow up with her Ultimate to slam them into your team. Use her 1st Skill to trigger her Passive, and unload her enhanced Basic Attacks on the target.
