Kayle Build Guide by Hahano

@TheChaingang: Not all junglers need the 9 in utility tree or even close to it. Having a longer duration on both red and blue buff is meaningless on some characters, one of them being Kayle. The extra armor and damage return allows her to jungle more efficiently instead of allowing an extra minute time frame to have blue or red buffs. It is really good on junglers that need the buffs to accomplish things or like the perks leading up to it. For those in which those perks do not matter, it is not a necessity.

On the topic of building "support" Kayle, I say that you can pick up some of those items and explain very well why you can. I'm not saying "Well give up on your end game" I'm saying that something such as Heart of Gold or Aegis of the Legion can help you get back on your feet and into a better groove. While this won't directly increase your damage output at the time, it will make you tankier in order to live to actually DPS something. I will take an Aegis over a Guinsoo's when I am behind without a second thought. Being underleveled and behind farm changes the game and unless you change your game in response, you will not get ahead.

The Offensive masteries I have laid out help her gank well and jungle well, and you never truly build her support. She does enough damage with her base values and Wriggle's Lantern to cut through a lot of the cast unless they're really far ahead of you. If you don't have the dual penetration, your ganks and jungling speed will certainly suffer and no items you build can make up for that.

@Tina: As stated above, I don't really see a need for the 9 utility, either. You don't need the mana because she's really streamline in terms of that and don't need the movespeed because of your boost on the heal (more helps, but not necessary). The armor, however, will allow you to have a higher life jungle which I value over 2% movement speed and buff duration (that she doesn't need because she has a ranged slow and is mana efficient). Leveling Divine Blessing over Righteous Fury severely damps your jungling speed and ganking damage. You don't really play Kayle to be a sustained jungler, you play her to provide high damage awesome ganks at any level after 2.

Perhaps I should make the point that you're not going "support" Kayle if you're behind, but that one or two of these items should be built to get you back on your feet. I don't recommend building her full support or full tank in most circumstance, but realistically getting a support item or two when you're 0/5 and 4 levels under is going to help infinitely more than a Pickaxe or Blasting Wand.

I tried Trinity Force and it was good, but junglers have a rough go with expensive stuff unless they're fed. So you can't really get a Wriggle's and then TF, you'll have it at like 30 minutes in a normal game which is useless.

the buffed heal/speed/duration on divine blessing makes kayle even more fun now, she is a lot more sustained and can clear camps almost forever until an opportunity to gank shows up. everyone who hasn't tried her yet should do it right away:)

Really good guide! I've actually played with a similar build once and it worked pretty well. Perhaps you could quickly mention a few ways to gank with her for others since she has a different style of ganking. For example flashing over a wall or from the enemy wraiths. Even coming from behind a tower with Intervention for advanced players. Thats my only suggestion but really nice job!

@The One 247: I believe I went over a lot of ganking tips in the video for Kayle (especially diving on people with Intervention) Flashing over a wall can sometimes work out for you, but I would never suggest it to people because it's an easy thing to mess up.
