Guide to Synergizing Master Yi and Kayle

Tips for Playing as Master Yi with Kayle

If you're in a lane against ranged players, leveling up Meditate can allow you to stay in the lane longer and gain levels faster than they will.

Try using Alpha Strike on a minion in front of an enemy champion so you are placed at a safe distance at the end of the spell.

Wuju Style is very strong early for last hitting minions.

Advice to Understand How Kayle Will Play

Kayle benefits greatly from Attack Damage and Ability Power, making hybrid items like Nashor's Tooth and Hextech Gunblade very effective on her.

Using Divine Judgment on a high-DPS ally can turn the tides of battle by giving your ally free reign to attack.

Kayle's attacks become incredibly powerful once she gains attack range from Divine Ascent. Play safe until then.
