Kayle

Divine Ascent P

Divine Ascent

Innate: Kayle ascends through four forms that each grant additional bonuses. She ascends upon spending a skill point at levels 1, 6, 11, and 16.
Level 1 - Zealous: Kayle's basic attacks on-attack generate a stack of Zeal for 5 seconds, refreshing on subsequent hits and stacking up to 5 times. For each stack, she gains 6% (+ 1% per 100 AP) bonus attack speed, up to a maximum of 30% (+ 5% per 100 AP). At max stacks, she becomes Exalted, gaining 10% bonus movement speed.
Level 6 - Arisen: Kayle becomes ranged and gains 350 bonus attack range for a total of 525.
Level 11 - Aflame: Kayle gains 10% bonus size. While Kayle is Exalted, her basic attacks on-attack also launch a wave of fire forward that deals 20 − 41 (based on level) (+ 10% bonus AD) (+ 25% AP) magic damage to all enemies it passes through. The wave is affected by critical strike modifiers.
Level 16 - Transcendent: Kayle gains an additional 100 bonus attack range for a total of 625, and permanently gains the full effects of Zealous.

Playing the matchup

Playing as Kayle

  • Using Divine Judgment on a high-DPS ally can turn the tides of battle by giving your ally free reign to attack.
  • Kayle's attacks become incredibly powerful once she gains attack range from Divine Ascent. Play safe until then.
  • Kayle benefits greatly from Attack Damage and Ability Power, making hybrid items like Nashor's Tooth and Hextech Gunblade very effective on her.

Playing against Kayle

  • Divine Judgment only grants Kayle or her allies immunity to damage. Slows and stuns can still be applied, so trap them if they're being overzealous.
  • Kayle is usually a fragile target. If you see her ultimate cast on an ally, switch to attacking her.
  • Kayle starts the game as a weaker melee champion. Try to put her behind before she ascends to her ranged form.

Lore

Born to a Targonian Aspect at the height of the Rune Wars, Kayle honored her mother's legacy by fighting for justice on wings of divine flame. She and her twin sister Morgana were the protectors of Demacia for many years—until Kayle became disillusioned with the repeated failings of mortals, and abandoned this realm altogether. Still, legends are told of her punishing the unjust with her fiery swords, and many hope that she will one day return…
