How it works
General
- You play poke oriented Mage.
- You rush Luden's Companion.
- You build AP items, going full damage.
How to play
General
- 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.
- 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).
- Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
Kayle AP specific
- This build is all about building AP and doing combo to burst and one shot enemies, not auto attacking per se.
- You combo is going to be Q + auto + E + auto.
- Another good rune for this build is First Strike.
Tips and Tricks
General
- Do not wait for 'special moment' to use Divine Judgement (Kayle's Ultimate) on someone. Someone is still high HP, but getting focused? Use it!
Riot
- 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.
