How it works

General

  1. You play poke oriented Mage.
  2. You rush Luden's Companion.
  3. You build AP items, going full damage.

How to play

General

  1. Playing AP Kayle build, your default rush is Luden's Companion. In cases, when an enemy team is full of tanks and HP stackers, go Liandry's Torment.
  2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
  3. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.

Champion

  1. This build is all about building AP and doing combo to burst and one shot enemies, not auto attacking per se.
  2. You combo is going to be Q + auto + E + auto.
  3. Another good rune for this build is First Strike.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. Do not wait for 'special moment' to use Divine Judgment (R) (Kayle's Ultimate) on someone. Someone is still high HP, but getting focused? Use it!

Riot

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