Anivia
anivia is a nightmare for kayle, her kit allows her not to get hit by your autos. try make it a farm lane by pushing always to the turret before 6, she will strugge. after that just push and roam, her ulti will allow her to farm as much if not more than you do. attempts to kill her early are almost always a failure cause of the egg, wait for jungler if you're getting bullied. Anivia is not an easy champion to master however, so if you're not high elo you may find this match up a lot easier than i said here, cause of potential misplays from the opponent.
Introduction

hope you will find this guide useful, any feedback is very appreciated :) Let's get things started!
Kayle is a very strong champion in the current meta-game, because she can bring out a lot of team protection, an heal/speed up, and tons of damage in the teamfights.
Hope that after this guide you will like kayle as much as i do, the feeling when u splat enemies with 2.40ish attack speed is just too awesome :).
In this descriptive section i will talk about the choices i've made regarding item builds, runes masteries, and give some tips and tricks in order to be successful with her!

PROS
- great lane pusher early, viable split pusher
- sustain from heal makes her defensive playstyle very easy
- great counter to a bursty/pick up team comp (ex. thresh or blitz into zed combo)
- INSANE aoe damage in teamfights
- ability to DESTROY enemy carries with this build (u almost deal true dmg cause of wit's)
- INSANE dps
CONS
- kind of mana hungry throughout the game
- screwing up your ulti even once can cost you the game if it's close enough
- kind of squishy early game
- there are gaps in which you don't do damage in teamfights if not cdr capped
why full attack speed and not magic pen?
After the recent changes to the runes and on items, i've figured out that on kayle attack speed is much better than magic pen overall, we want to maximize the amount of autos we can do in a certain amount of time (most of them being the time duration of the ultimate)instead of relying on burst damage. Another bonus of attack speed is that if you're focusing the champion in early game, the damage from your basic attacks will be also maximized, which is a nice bonus that makes kayle a little bit stronger in the early game, whereas magic pen doesn't influence basic dmg at all.
Remember to adapt the defensive runes to your playstyle!
This is the most important thing in this chapter: if you are the kind of player that wants to focus on farming, without trying to bully or out-trade your opponent, you should consider running both armor and mr scaling, since you will get the same stats at level 6, gaining more and more stats as the game goes on! Or if you want to obtain some advantage as soon as possible go for the flat ones and bully your opponent out of the lane! :)
Before 4.11, the build kayle was relying on was focused more on ap than attack speed, even though she gained some attack speed from the core items, it wasn't that focused. But now, this 0.2 ap ratio on your e makes your precious rabadon and any else ap item half effective.
What does this mean?
This means that right now if you build so much ap on kayle you are focusing more on your



So how am i going to optimize my gold in the shop, in order to make kayle a beast into the late game??
Basically i've come up with the idea that

1 NOTE IS MANDATORY: after you get


As i said in the build guide though, you can still consider to build both




If u want mega uber synergy with runaan all around, or if the enemy team is stacking mr and health to counter your damage, you should consider building


First off
It's obvious that with this build you will be a great split pusher, but you need to be careful in engaging 1vs1 against any good duelist champion, since you are mainly focused on AOE dps, so you're not unbeatable in the 1vs1. you should seek teamfights as much as you can, since you will destroy the enemy team if they're stacked up.
Simple as that: get your autos on 2-3 champs at a time-->best dps in game.
Secondly
You should understand the enemy's abilities so that you know exactly when to ult and who to ult. That's the difference betweed a bad kayle and a good one. ex. you know that you're against syndra blitz, and vayne. syndra managed to stun your allied trist and she's about to get grabbed by blitz and there's no tank to soak that grab. You should know that the best time to ult her is right before the grab, so you will soak all the dps from that chain cc and allow trist to w backwards to avoid death.Last but not least
Remember to check your cdr and know at all times if you can have your

Alright folks! This guide is almost over, and i wanna thank you all for reading through what i've learned through years of playing Kayle. There's 1 bonus tip that i wanna give you if you're not aware already: you should try and force yourself to learn the ways of the attack moving. I know that for some this is hard, but it's such a huge quality of life change for Kayle kiting mechanics that i don't wanna go over it without mentioning it. I personally use the keybind A right below my spells, easy to reach. If you're not familiar to the attack-move and stutter step, here's a link to a youtube video of Cinderhelm explaining what it is and how to do it.

Thanks again for reading it through and leave a comment if you find that i should change anything in the guide, thanks!
