Kayle's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Divine Ascent (P)

Kayle's attacks are empowered by the heavens as she levels up and spends skill points. Her wings are lit aflame as she progressively gains Attack Speed, Move Speed, Attack Range, and waves of fire on her attacks.

Playing as Gragas

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Let your barrel charge

    Let Barrel Roll (Q) charge before detonating it: damage and slow grow the longer it sits on the ground, and if you don't recast it, it explodes on its own.

  2. Drink before you engage

    Drink Drunken Rage (W) before engaging: drinking takes 1 second, then you take less damage and your next auto hits every nearby enemy.

  3. Charge through a clear path

    Engage with Body Slam (E) through a path without minions: you stop on the first enemy you meet, and hitting reduces its cooldown.

  4. Send them toward your team

    After Body Slam (E), cast Explosive Cask (R) behind your target: the blast knocks enemies away from the impact, sending them toward your team.

Playing against Kayle

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade early

    Take your trades early: at first, her attack range is a melee champion's, and Divine Ascent (passive) only extends it as she levels up.

  2. Freeze and starve her of levels

    Freeze the wave near your tower to keep her off minions: each level empowers her autos through Divine Ascent (passive).

  3. CC during her R, damage after

    During Divine Judgment (R), hold your damage but use any CC you have: the target can't take damage, but can still be slowed or stunned.

  4. Force early objectives

    Force objectives and teamfights early on: Kayle gains power with every level, so every minute of the game plays in her favor.
