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 Renekton

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Ruthless Predator at 50 Fury

    Save 50 Fury for Ruthless Predator (W): empowered, it strikes three times, destroys shields and stuns for 1.5 seconds instead of 0.75.

  2. In and out with Slice and Dice

    Take your trades with Slice and Dice (E): one dash to go in, your combo, then the recast to get out, available if the first dash hit.

  3. Dominus at the start of your all-in

    Cast Dominus (R) at the start of your all-in: you gain max health and Fury, and damage nearby enemies every second.

  4. Get ahead in lane

    Play aggressively in lane and look for an early lead: Renekton is strongest before everyone has their items.

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.
