Kayle Jungle or Support?

Which role is better for her? How would I build it? Currently, I've been going Kayle Jungle with full AP except with other items like Devourers on Trailblazer, and Nashor's tooth (then all assassin items)

Playing her as support is more of a "support by killing everything" lane. To make it work, you absolutly need an AD carry that can play hyper aggressive like Caitlyn . Her peel isn't the best, and her ult doesn't technically peel, just stops burst damage. Won't save them from Leona flying in and CC'ing them for 5 years.

I find her much better as a jungler due to her strong slow and damage for ganks. She also clears nicely with her E.

Her resistance reduction is really nice but yes, you need to play very safe at all phases of the game as Kayle support unless it's a kill lane. Champs with hard cc are better at support imo.

I love Kayle jungle I love the runes/masteries I've been using. Other people's strats and builds might differ.

Again, this is just what I used and I copied the masteries from a lolking guide.

For runes I use Greater Marks of Hybrid Penetration, Greater Seals of Armor (flat), Greater Glyphs of Magic Resist (Flat, could use scaling for jungle), and Greater Quints of Attack Speed. Enjoy the damages!

For a build I would go with the recommended items. I haven't played her in the new jungle so idk which of the new items I would get, probably skirmishers. I've been building Jungle Item > Tri Force > Boots of Swiftness ... Usually games end after I have sheen/TF Lol but I would also probably build a Zephyr and like, anything else you'd typically build on her.

You want to stack as much attack speed and move speed so you can stick to people. Kayle with doubles/red buff is a beautiful thing. Your Q slows them, your red buff slows them, and your W speeds you up. Also I recommend running smite-ghost rather than smite-flash but go with your preference. I like ghost because I can heal myself, ghost in and just slap em til they either flash, run, or die.

Enjoy!

Edit: I'm really sorry about the tooltip on the image of my masteries, but it doesn't block anything and I'm lazy :P
