Playing as Kayle
Tips to maximize your impact
- Play safe early
Play safe early on: Divine Ascent (passive) empowers your autos with each level, adding range, speed and waves of fire.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Fiora
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take short trades: each Vital she hits with Duelist's Dance (passive) heals her and speeds her up.
- Wait for her Riposte before your CC
If you have CC, wait until Riposte (W) is used: if it parries an immobilizing effect, her stab stuns you instead of slowing you.
- Trade after her Lunge
Take a trade when Lunge (Q) has just whiffed: without an enemy hit, its cooldown isn't reduced, and it's her only dash.
- Send two to answer her split
Answer her split push with two players rather than alone: in a duel, Grand Challenge (R) reveals four Vitals and speeds her up near her target.
