Divine Ascent (P)

Playing against Kayle

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Punish Kayle BEFORE level 6: she's melee, weak, and has no trading tools. That's your window to set her behind.

2

Don't let her farm freely: every level matters enormously for Kayle. Freeze and zone her.

3

Her R (invulnerability) lasts 2-3s: wait for it to end before bursting. Don't waste your ults into it.

4

Force objectives and fights in early/mid game: Kayle needs time, don't give it to her.
