Lol i just posted a simlar guide for the first time, it's the carbon copy guide of the video though flash exhasut and a different skill order of choice. The vids build is amazing though

(1) |

I skip the doran and go directly for a Meki Pendant. Early on, it gives me all the regen I need. It also is easily converted into the nashor and alows me to get 2 health pots. The 2 health pots allow me to stay in lane longer without having to rely on my heal to sustain myself. It frees up mana for other uses.

I think you forgot to add Hextech GunBlade and Voidstaff, (according to Phreak). Otherwise, thanks for the guide. +1

Great build! Works well with her rework.

I disagree with you HateStar, his build is solid and he explains why he uses the items. Maladys+her new passive is sooo epic! And there is no reason to get the Bloodrazors before banshee's because they would probably begin to see you rip apart their squishy by the time u have your nashor's.
I love ur build mate +1

Thank you for this build as a reference for Kayle's remake, I went Doran's Ring>Beserker's Greaves>Nashor's Tooth>Hextech Gunblade>Lich Bane>Guinsuoo's Rageblade>Frozen Heart thanks to the use of your build strategy.

I didn't go Malady unless if i got fed because the building rate of the item is too slow to achieve in Mid game. I just used Agi elixirs until late game since her passive can shred with more attack speed.

I might replace the Rageblade with Deathfire Grasp. I'll let you know how that goes.

Thanks for the comments and votes guys. I will have to edit this guide soon, update alot of things including the layout (Had no idea how to use the images for runes/items etc when I first made it). Also been testing leveling E over Q and it works even better. I wasn't aware that the damage amplification on Q was the same for all levels now (Stupid me). So I still get level 1 Q over E depending on lane opponent (E for ranged last hitting at level 1 if I know I'll have trouble getting in melee range). My only problem with last hitting with the new E is the higher splash range. This kinda pushes your lane so if you need to use E to last hit be sure to buy your early ward. Although if you're against Mordekaiser and any other heavy lane pusher E is great for keeping the creeps in the middle of the lane.

Last note: I consider Kayle "Underpowered" at the moment with this new rework but that's why I find her fun to play. People don't think much of you when you're playing Kayle. I also believe after they fix her passive (At the moment is only reduces a % of their base Armor and MR. A problem widely known with % Armor and MR reduction) she will still need some buffs to compensate. Her passive should reduce 10% (If I'm not mistaken) of their Armor and MR when fully stacked, which on anyone with ~100 Armor/MR only reduces 10. Now to me that doesn't seem like enough.

MTaur thanks for great info. May i ask where did you find that, i am more new so little noobish =). Oh and about bersekers Graves, would you get magic pentration ones instead than? Tho that would be nice to have vs someone that has little more magic resistance and dont want to use Banshee Veil, i guess =).

leagueoflegends.wikia.com has a ton of articles covering all kinds of things like the order in which buffs and debuffs are applied, the damage reduction formulas for armor and MRes, etc. That and endless debates over the effectiveness of items on each page.

Thanks for the guide! I've got a couple of suggestions, though.

First, I HIGHLY recommend taking E at level 1, ESPECIALLY if you're solo. You really need that extra range to be able to last hit effectively, plus the damage at level 1 is pretty ridiculous (one autoattack does almost as much damage as a cast of Q). In fact, for the first time since LoL was released, I recommend leveling E over Q on Kayle. +60 damage a swing at level 7 is just way too good to pass up. Without her old passive, Q just doesn't chunk people the way it used to, plus you get the full 35% slow and 5% damage boost with just one rank. E is a much better choice for straight up DPS, especially in an AS/on hit build.

Second, I think that flat AD reds still work pretty well on Kayle, even with her new passive. With them + E + Doran's Blade/Longsword, you can hit for over 90 damage a swing at level one, which can easily net you first blood. NO ONE expects Kayle to hit that hard that early (at least at the moment). AD reds also help with last hitting quite a bit. AS reds are good also, but they're a bit redundant IMO (almost all your items are going to be AS anyways), and they don't benefit you as much at the start of the game.

Third, Doran's Ring blows on Kayle now, IMO. The AP does jack **** early game, the rework fixed her mana issues, and she can't sustain herself with her heal anymore, so you REALLY need health pots. I recommend either boots + 3 pots or cloth armor (builds into bloodrazor later) + 5 pots.

is team-oriented and might have more DPS on low-MRes targets overall, but it doesn't help your team's damage, either. I think if you're getting , you can get by without the MRes from . I like , but is better for teamfights and it synergizes with . I'm not so quick to dismiss as several others.

What about critical strike chance? I mean, if you dont want defensive item, would Phantom dancer be potential dps increase or hextech gunblade or void staff or even frozen malet for some utility?

Critical Strike synergizes with AD and ASpd, so you'd want to have a fair amount of all three on a crit build, like for . 's doesn't crit - the magic damage is there, and that's what you get from it. The way you do a lot of damage with is you level it up and attack that much more rapidly. AD and AP both factor in, too, but it's better to stack ASpd a little more because you get a free BF sword worth of magic damage on E. Additional damage comes from on-hit effects like , which also can't crit, making it even less appropriate to bother with crits.

I like as a 5th or 6th item once I have attack speed. You can stay in fights that much longer when you're double-vamping on all auto-attacks, and you get a second copy of as an item active.

is fun, for sure. followed by a lot of auto-attacks will really make a single target suffer; they need to stun or dash or just to get out of there. If someone else is doing most of the CC, it'll nerf your damage too much to be worth it, though.

, I'm not so sure about. It doesn't stack well with because it applies the 40% penalty after subtracting the 24 flat, meaning they have .6(MR - 24) = .6MR - 14.4, so basically your is only taking off 3.6 MR per hit on top of the . Meanwhile, increases attack speed, but doesn't, and AP without attack speed leaves you with just one spell for damage, and that doesn't work. So you can't get both, and is better anyway. If they stack a *lot* of MRes, + (ASpd that isn't ) might be appropriate.

With the ASpd you'll already be building, I'm not sure are necessary. The more ASpd you have, the less you'll notice that extra 25.

Overall these are all items I'd take in this kind of combination on , except for maybe . But even that is a respectable item that I just don't personally prefer as much.
