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 Jax

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Start trades with Counter Strike

    Start your trades with Counter Strike (E): you dodge autos and take less area damage, and each dodged auto adds damage to the stunning counterattack.

  2. Look for long trades

    Look for long trades: each consecutive auto increases your attack speed thanks to Relentless Assault (passive).

  3. Ward hop to escape

    To escape, place a ward and jump to it with Leap Strike (Q): it can target any unit or ward, allied or enemy.

  4. Activate your R up close

    Activate Grandmaster-at-Arms (R) up close: it only grants armor and magic resist if it hits a champion, and your bonus hits then land every other auto.

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.
