So I've been thinking alot about how strong Tri Force is, and what champs can use it the best. Once champion I was curious about was Kayle. I remember back in the day, Kayle was played more top lane than she was AP mid lane. Now that she isn't played TOO commonly mid, I was curious as to whether we might see a return of top Kayle using Trinity force. It seems to me like she would absolutely love the Rage passive from Phage/Trinity. She might not make the BEST use of the sheen proc since her cooldowns arent really short, but AP Kayle's sometimes built Lichbane, so she still could use the Lichbane. And of course she likes Zeal's AS.

In sum, she is one of those rare champions that can actually benefit from all of trinity force's stats. I just haven't really ever seen anyone build it on Kayle. Is it just that there are typically better options? Anyone think that this is a good idea?

There are lots of better options because Kayle mainly scales off pure AP - which means that you shouldn't invest a ton of money (3.6k) on an item that doesn't synergize with an AP build.

Also she doesn't really spam her spells enough to make trinity worth it from my experience, maybe just get an earlyish Phage and sit on it till late game and sell it?

I dunno... only if you go AD or bruiser Kayle perhaps.

She uses Lich Bane because the burst is just insane when you have high AP.

She definitely needs CDR to make better use of Trinity Force... so, I reckon there are better options for her.

With Trinity Force you're spending extra gold to get some largely unnoticeable or pointless stats... Lich Bane is an entirely different situation because AP Kayle entirely utilizes the stats it gives.

You'd really need to build a mostly AD Kayle to make good use of a Trinity Force. At which point you'd benefit more from a Blade of the Ruined King for ~400 less gold.

Berserker's Greaves
Doran`s Ring
Guinsoo's Rageblade
Trinity Force
Hextech Gunblade
Nashor's Tooth


Note - Sell the Dorans ring late game for either of these items depending on the game:

Zephyr
Guardian Angel
Aegis of the Legion
Rabadon's Deathcap

I did the math many many times with many different builds and Hybrid Kayle is inferior to both AD and AP Kayle. New Trinity Force is awesome, but doesn't synergyze that well with her kit to put it over the top.

Go head to head against an AP with Lich Bane and see the difference.

That being said, it may not be the most effective, but I like dem hybrids.

It's not the worst item on Kayle, but also not the best.
