Kayle Wild Rift Build & Guide

Innate Passive: Divine Ascent

Kayle gains additional passive effects as she levels up. She gains another passive effect at levels 1, 5, 10, and 15.

At level 1, she gains additional attack speed for each attack, stacking up to five times and gaining bonus movement speed at max stacks. It is important to stack up before fights, especially once she gets the level 10 effect.

At level 5, she gains bonus attack range. Before this upgrade, Kayle is most vulnerable because she is a melee champion with ranged stats, hp and resistances. Some of the pressure is relieved once she gets her range and ultimate.

At level 10, her auto attacks will now deal AoE damage at max passive stacks, dealing the passive damage of Starfire Spellblade. She becomes a team fight monster once she gains this effect, reinforcing the need to stack up before fights.

At level 15, she gains 50 more attack range and the max stack passives becomes permanent, removing the need to stack up before fights.

Q | 1st Ability: Radiant Blast

Radiant Blast is a range poke ability that is great for securing last hits safely in the early game.

In the later stages of the game, its damage is its least useful feature. It also slows enemies and reduces their armor and magic resist, making them vulnerable to Kayle’s flurry of attacks.

Radiant Blast has a small projectile but once it hits it expands into a small cross, also hitting enemies around the initial target.

W | 2nd Ability: Celestial Blessing

Celestial Blessing is a support ability that heals Kayle and a nearby ally and grants it a short burst of movement speed.

If Kayle targets herself, the closest ally is healed and if Kayle targets an ally, she is automatically healed as well.

Use the movement speed burst of Celestial Blessing to help yourself and your allies engage or escape enemies.

E | 3rd Ability: Starfire Spellblade

Starfire Spellblade passively and actively empowers Kayle’s attacks.

The passive portion of Starfire Spellblade grants bonus magic damage to her auto attacks while the active portion empowers her next auto attack with extra range and bonus magic damage that scales with the target’s missing health.

Starfire Spellblade is an auto attack reset. To maximize the damage output of Kayle, activate this ability right after an auto attack is executed.

Once Kayle reaches level 10, both the passive and active portion of Starfire Spellblade affects all enemies near the main target.

R | Ultimate: Divine Judgment

Divine Judgment is a game-changing ultimate that grants invulnerability to the target for a short duration as well as dealing damage after a short delay.

Kayle is one of the easiest champion to dive pre-level 5, but once she gains her ultimate, enemies would now think twice before diving her thanks to the 2.5 seconds of invulnerability.

Given Kayle’s hypercarry status in the late game, most Kayle players would want to reserve their ultimate for themselves but the downside of using Divine Judgment for yourself is the casting animation where you  are unable to do anything. Because of the animation, you actually have only 1 second of invulnerability where you can attack.

If you have another hypercarry ally, it could be better to use Divine Ultimate on them because they will be able to utilize the full 2.5 seconds of invulnerability while they wreak havoc on all your enemies.
