Playing as Kayle

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Play safe early

    Play safe early on: Divine Ascent (passive) empowers your autos with each level, adding range, speed and waves of fire.

  2. Save your W for ganks

    Save Celestial Blessing (W) to escape a gank or hold your lane: it heals you and an ally, and gives you both move speed.

  3. Push once you get fire waves

    Push the wave as soon as you unlock your waves of fire: Divine Ascent (passive) adds them to your autos, and minions go down much faster.

  4. Ult the ally they're focusing

    Cast Divine Judgment (R) on the ally being focused, at the last moment: they become invulnerable, then the area around them damages enemies.

Playing against Ekko

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Avoid his third hit

    Take short trades: his third hit on you, auto or spell, triggers Z-Drive Resonance (passive), with bonus damage and a burst of speed.

  2. Leave his Q field

    When Timewinder (Q) expands on you, leave the field: it slows you, and the device hits you again on its way back to him.

  3. Get out of his sphere

    Leave the Parallel Convergence (W) sphere as soon as it appears: if he steps into it, it stuns every enemy inside.

  4. Aim where he'll reappear

    When he's low, don't chase him blindly: Chronobreak (R) brings him back to where he was 4 seconds earlier and damages nearby enemies. Ready your spells on that spot.
