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 Yorick

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his Mourning Mist

    Dodge Mourning Mist (E): once marked, you lose armor, his nearby graves keep raising Mist Walkers, and his units rush toward you.

  2. Kill his Mist Walkers first

    Kill his Mist Walkers, summoned by Shepherd of Souls (passive), before going for him: a single auto or single-target spell is enough for each.

  3. Break his wall

    If Dark Procession (W) traps you, hit the wall to break it instead of waiting for it to disappear.

  4. Kill the Maiden first

    If you can, take down the Maiden of the Mist before Yorick: summoned by Eulogy of the Isles (R), she carries a large part of his damage and push.

  5. Answer his split push

    Don't let him split push alone: with the Eulogy of the Isles (R) Maiden and his Mist Walkers, he quickly threatens a tower. Send someone to answer him.
