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 Mordekaiser

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay near your minions

    Stay near your minions against Obliterate (Q): its damage increases when it hits only one enemy.

  2. Dodge his Death's Grasp

    Dodge Death's Grasp (E): it pulls you toward him, into his other spells, and it has a 16 to 8 second cooldown.

  3. At range, kite him

    If you have range, kite him: Mordekaiser has no dash, and only Death's Grasp (E), which pulls you in, closes the distance.

  4. Save your mobility in his R

    In Realm of Death (R), save your mobility spells to escape him rather than for the duel: he steals part of your stats, and keeps them if he kills you.
