More Gameplay Tips for Kayle Players

Tips and Tricks

While laning, use Righteous Fury to make your attacks ranged and then combo with Reckoning to slow your enemy. You can use this to force an enemy to use an escape or just to harass.

Cast Divine Blessing and Intervention on your team's carries to provide them with healing and invulnerability.

Kayle FAQs

Q: Is Kayle better in the early game, mid-game, or late game?

A: Kayle scales quickly as the game progresses and becomes an absolute beast in the late game. She is one of the best hyper-carries in League of Legends and can 1:1 almost any champion when she has completed her full build. At levels 6, 11, and 16, she gains great boosts to her abilities with increased range and area of effect.

Q: Should I build Kayle with AD, AP, or as a hybrid champion?

A: Kayle can be built as either an AD or an AP champion. Hybrid Kayle builds are also relatively common. It's also very common to find attack speed in many of Kayle's items. She gains on-hit and active damage as she levels and gains AD or AP. AD champions are a little stronger against more generic teams while an AP Kayle build deals more burst damage.

Q: Why can't I attack when I use Kayle's Ult?

A: During Kayle's Ult, she is stuck in an animation cycle. The previous iteration of Kayle's abilities let her attack while she was invulnerable, but the current iteration of her powers don't allow her to. For that reason, it's often a better idea to cast it on an ally unless you absolutely need the protection. The ally can then be much more aggressive than you can while invulnerable.

Additional Kayle Build Insights

LoL Kayle players will find her to be a complex character to build out properly. You will notice that her build is modified when she is up against either well-rounded or specialized team compositions, showing you should not choose the same Kayle build every single game of League of Legends

The most essential items to incorporate into your champ's build include: Riftmaker, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Lich Bane. Players who added these items in their builds had a better win rate than players who used other Kayle builds. Similarly, if you are trying to beat a well-mixed enemy team arrangement, you should strongly consider getting yourself the Precision, and Sorcery runes. In recent games, she won the largest number of her rounds when using these runes.

We came up with our Kayle build guidance by examining 68,989 recently ranked League games with her selected. We only advise the best winrate Kayle builds that have been built by ranked players enough times for us to reccomend them. With so many games in our dataset, we are quite confident in our recommended builds.
