Kayle's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Divine Ascent (P)

Kayle's attacks are empowered by the heavens as she levels up and spends skill points. Her wings are lit aflame as she progressively gains Attack Speed, Move Speed, Attack Range, and waves of fire on her attacks.

Playing as Nasus

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Last-hit with Siphoning Strike

    Last-hit minions with Siphoning Strike (Q): each kill with the spell permanently increases its damage, by more on large minions and champions.

  2. Wither their carry

    In teamfights, cast Wither (W) on their carry: the slow grows stronger over the spell's duration and also reduces their attack speed.

  3. Fury of the Sands as the fight starts

    Cast Fury of the Sands (R) as you enter a teamfight: for 15 seconds, you gain health and resistances, damage nearby enemies, and Siphoning Strike (Q) comes back faster.

  4. Farm instead of forcing early

    Early on, farm rather than force trades: Siphoning Strike (Q) stacks are permanent, and every minion you last-hit makes you stronger later.

Playing against Kayle

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade early

    Take your trades early: at first, her attack range is a melee champion's, and Divine Ascent (passive) only extends it as she levels up.

  2. Freeze and starve her of levels

    Freeze the wave near your tower to keep her off minions: each level empowers her autos through Divine Ascent (passive).

  3. CC during her R, damage after

    During Divine Judgment (R), hold your damage but use any CC you have: the target can't take damage, but can still be slowed or stunned.

  4. Force early objectives

    Force objectives and teamfights early on: Kayle gains power with every level, so every minute of the game plays in her favor.
