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 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.
