"Welcome to the Kayle preseason 6 guide.
Press R.
Thanks for tuning in to the Kayle preseason 6 guide."

[sanzenin]

Thanks! I've been waiting for this for so long :3

[chairya]

Kayle is one of my favorite champions, but she's also one of the worst champions to try and fit in my personal playstyle (tldr, i suck at kayle).
So i really appreciate all the help/advice you offer every time you upload something new. Thank you for that.

Nice Video Keep it ! just a tipp you choose flat hp but hp per Level is after lvl 6, LVL 6, better so til lvl 6 a littel bit weaker but right after lvl 6 they outsclae it !!

Against non-waveclear champs you should totaly go maxing Q and getting Thunderlord's Decree. Go back for a Fiendish Codex and just Q+2AA for really good burst. By the way, your splash from E procs the Thunderlord's Decree's damage too. Also, you can go nashor + rageblade and then shiv + firecanon + IE and still do ridiculuous damage.

Hi, can I get your thoughts on 3 things about kayle?1. Hybrid pent marks on kayle? Yey or Nae?2.Thunderlord's decree for keystone on kayle? 3.Warden Kayle (skin idea)Wish to hear from you. You're an inspiration.

Kayle has been my favourite champion since S3 when I started to play a while. She was SUPER STRONG when her Q was still 1.0AP and Lich Bane wasn't nerfed too. But after the rework and the nerf on lich bane she was just soooo much weaker. She went from an early game champion then can solo kill u pre-6 by maxing q very easily to a late game champ, that does her job but many champions can do what she can do too while being strong early.

Since then, S4 S5 and now I'm trying her on different strategies and builds to try to make her relevant (Oh i miss devourer), and now I really have a hard time on deciding what to do with her.

I think thunderlord's decree works really well early on maxing q and can trade very well in lane and give u an advantage, but again the 30s cd is quite a huge drawback and its much worse than deathfire touch late game.
deathfire touch is good as well as even the aoe from e procs it, but its almost irrelevant in early game and i think kayle really needs some early power to do well
the one with the stacks mathematically is also strong, but i find it really hard to keep up the stacks early on. your e has a long cd so before you can harass with full stack u need to aa the minions, but it is risky to stack without range form, or if u do with range form then by the time u reach near full stacks ur e duration is almost gone before u can trade with the enemy.

Also rageblade is very strong and the flat damage (same for wits end) but for rageblade u stack up so slow with ur range form, and as said before if u stack as melee u risk urself in damage and u cant always just find a safe wave to build up ur stacks. And if u dont build AS its slower to build up the stacks but if u go AS build u dont have AP so the rageblade %bonus is less and ur spells does less too...

So overall I'm just so confused on which to use, max q or e, go ad or ap. but after all i decided to go full AP burst thunderlord way n the thunderlord works like the unnerfed q e damage on kayle before in the laning phase, n in mid game it acts as an unnerfed lich bane.

But i also want some different opinions and advice to what suits kayle best, and combine what works well on her and what style works on me playing her, and hopefully try to be able to play my favourite champion at a level just like all the other OPs

Thanks for sharing your insights!

I have a question regarding blue mr runes/cdr cap

I can't really afford a page slot to dedicate to kayle but my yasuo one is practically perfect for ap Kayle all be it without any cdr in the runes, so in the situation where you have MR blues how would you approach the CDR cap?

The obvious answer would be the lucidities + the lichbane, but that would force a 4 core item build (with no chance of ever buying merc boots against heavy cc teams).

The problem I see here is that you can only buy 2 situational items with this approach meaning that in order to get a zhonyas, abyssals, rylais etc you would have to drop a rabadons or a void staff or possibly both if the need should arise.

So how would you approach said situation, would you sacrifice 10% cdr, would you be forced into a tighter stricter build order? If so would rabadons be better than void even with a few MR stacked opponents?

Alternatively would you just go for the AD build or is this strictly for bot lane?

Anyway thanks again for the guide, I've wanted to play this champion regularly and learn it since getting the riot Kayle skin but the time never seemed right for Kayle, until now!

Would 18/0/12 be considered good as well? Runic armor goes well with the healing, insight is nice, and having a little bit of extra health regen(goes well with runic armor), and a little bit of armor and magic resist.

[timothybarnett]

I'm trying to learn how to play Kayle in every role.. so in which lane should I build AD and in which AP? Probably mid AP and ADC AD but what about Top Jungle and Support?

[jidnimayukh]

can you upload full gameplay if you have free time o:, they are very helpful

[aaron]

You say 'Natural Talent' is bad because it offers only a small amount of AD / AP for late game +10ad / +15 ap +15 ap = 3 quints and + 10 ad is alright but either way i think it is much more efficient than 'Vampirism' which only gives 2% lifesteal, which kayle does not really need as she has heals and you can just put two stacks in her heal early if you are struggling

[ThePurpleKnightmare]

Go for both, Nasors, Rageblade, Runaans, Essence Reaver, then whatever. Combine the best of both builds.

[byakugan]

Surprised I didn't see The Black Cleaver or Blade of the Ruined King in the AD section.

[randomguy-wzud]

do you think thunderlords would be good now 2?, i mean none builds tanky anymore, and your hybrid so the cunning tree should benefit you, just wondering

[aggelos_spl]

Why not get thunderlords decree? It feels better to me since with it you have more burst damage

[Rlol]

What about Precision->Tunderlord masteries, and what u thing about jungle Kayle in perseason, i was going for devoure->nashor->regeblade

[itogisch]

i sometimes pick up nashor rageblade and wits end. the bit of mr with the on hit magic damage and att speed helps alot. but i never see it get picked up somewhere. what are your ideas on the item?
