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 Renekton

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade when he's under 50 Fury

    Take a trade when his Fury is under 50: above that, Ruthless Predator (W) destroys your shields and stuns you twice as long.

  2. Trade after his dashes

    Take a trade once he has used both Slice and Dice (E) dashes: it's his only way to reach you or get out, on a 16 to 10 second cooldown.

  3. Back off when he casts Dominus

    Once he hits level 6, back off when he casts Dominus (R): he gains max health, builds Fury every second, and damages enemies around him.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Renekton looks to get ahead in lane, before everyone has their items.
