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 Gragas

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Body Slam (E) stops on the first enemy it meets, minions included.

  2. Get out of the barrel zone fast

    Get out of the Barrel Roll (Q) area right away: the longer the barrel sits on the ground, the more its explosion hurts and slows.

  3. Step up after a missed E

    Step up when Body Slam (E) hits nobody: its cooldown isn't reduced and stays at 14 to 12 seconds.

  4. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies: Explosive Cask (R) knocks every enemy away from the impact, which can split you up or send you toward his team.
