Tips for Playing as Zilean with Kayle
Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.
Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.
You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

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.
