League of Legends: Kayle Champion History and Evolution
Kayle's abilities and combat style have evolved significantly throughout League of Legends' history. Here's a comprehensive overview of her previous abilities and combat mechanics:
Holy Fervor (Innate)
- Basic attacks and Reckoning reduced enemy champions' armor and magic resistance by 3% for 5 seconds
- Stacked up to 5 times (maximum 15% reduction)
- Stacked additively with itself but multiplicatively with other percentage reductions
Reckoning
- Targeted ability dealing magic damage and slowing enemies for 3 seconds
- Primary engage tool and harassment ability
Divine Blessing
- Healing ability targeting allied champions or self
- Granted bonus movement speed for 3 seconds
- No cast time, allowing fluid combat
Righteous Fury
- Passive: Added bonus magic damage to basic attacks
- Active: Transformed Kayle into ranged champion (525 range) for 10 seconds
- Attacks dealt splash damage and increased magic damage to main target
- Could be maintained indefinitely with 44.4% cooldown reduction
Intervention (Ultimate)
- Rendered target ally or self invulnerable for a brief period
- No cast time
- Notable exception: Did not protect against Nexus Obelisk damage
Combat Interactions:
- Critical strikes didn't affect Righteous Fury's bonus damage
- Compatible with Runaan's Hurricane but not Tiamat
- Bonus damage couldn't be dodged or blocked, but could be parried
- Continued dealing splash damage even when main attack was negated
This rework maintained Kayle's core identity as a hybrid support-carry while modernizing her kit for contemporary League of Legends gameplay.
