As a divine champion ascending through power levels, Kayle transforms from a vulnerable melee fighter into one of League's most formidable late-game carries.

Starting weak and melee, Kayle evolves at levels 6, 11, and 16, becoming increasingly powerful with each evolution. She shares similarities with Kassadin in terms of item and level dependency, making her early game survival and farming capabilities crucial.

Skill Priority & Order

• Level 1: Start with E for early trading potential
• Primary Max: Q for safer waveclear and poke
• Secondary Max: E for sustained damage
• Last Max: W (utility)

Alternative skill order includes E-max first for maximum damage in extended trades, though Q-max is generally safer and more reliable.

Core Build Path Kayle's build focuses on AP and attack speed, leveraging her strong AP scaling and auto-attack reliance:

Starting Items:

• Doran's Ring
• Health Potions

Main Items:

• Nashor's Tooth (First item - provides essential AP and attack speed)
• Riftmaker
• Rabadon's Deathcap

Situational Items:

• Void Staff (vs. Magic Resistance)
• Zhonya's Hourglass (vs. AD threats)
• Cosmic Drive (for mobility)

While AD Kayle is viable, AP build path generally provides better scaling and overall damage output. Focus on items that provide both AP and attack speed early, transitioning to pure AP and magic penetration in the later stages.

Power Spikes

• Level 6: Ranged form unlocked
• Level 11: Permanent ranged form
• Level 16: True damage waves added to attacks
• Item spikes: Nashor's Tooth completion, Riftmaker, Rabadon's

The key to success with Kayle is surviving the early game through careful farming and conservative play, then scaling into a late-game hypercarry through proper itemization and level advantages.
