PIERCESENTINELRENDFATE'S CALL
A specter of wrath and retribution, Kalista is the undying spirit of vengeance, an armored nightmare summoned from the Shadow Isles to hunt deceivers and traitors. The betrayed may cry out in blood to be avenged, but Kalista only answers those willing to pay with their very souls. Those who become the focus of Kalista's wrath should make their final peace, for any pact sealed with this grim hunter can only end with the cold, piercing fire of her soul-spears.

Long Sword. Next, you should pay attention to whether your mobility champion is enough, our further actions will depend on this. If it is hard for you to dodge the enemy's skills or you want to roam on neighboring lines, then it is better to buy 
Boots of Speed at an early stage.

Blessed Blade: Attacks restore 12 Health on hit.
2200Gunmetal Greaves TIPS: These boots significantly increase Attack Speed while also providing Movement Speed and Lifesteal, making them well suited for champions who rely on frequent basic attacks. Attacking enemy champions temporarily increases Movement Speed, making it easier to chase and reposition, while each hit also restores Health. An excellent choice for auto-attackers who need mobility and consistent sustain in combat.TIPS: Finally, for your items, you should build Statikk Shiv (Energized Attacks deal chain damage) as your first item, followed by Berserker's Greaves (Grants Attack Speed) (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Guinsoo's Rageblade (Applies on-hit effects).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in Gunmetal Greaves (Increases Attack Speed and Movement Speed).
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

This makes it an excellent choice for tanks and bruisers who need extra mobility to engage quickly and sustain through fights. Tips: ideal for champions who need to close distance and absorb damage; pairs extremely well with Spellblade items (e.g., Divine Sunderer) for additional burst damage on engage.
