Yes Kayle is fine in this current Meta, I would suggest as much as I hate to say it cause I play Melee top but I would take her TOP, can abuse melee champions so easy.

Depends on the match up and how the lane looks but I would try to these items

item 3085 item 3115 item 3124 item 3089 item 3116 item 3006

Okay thank you. would it be good to get a defensive item too or nah?

To be honest don't get a defensive item unless its your last item or the game is nearing the 40 min mark as it will delay your core build of item 3085 and item 3115. If anything I would get the item 3116 as a 3rd item as it give you enough stats to be tanky.

Okay thank you. And how do you feel about the hex tech gun blade with the healing it gives?

Its not bad but I just never really seen it happen with Kayle so maybe you can experiment on it but I wouldn't.

As Kayle its really needed to have Att speed as runes and Items not Healing as you already have your W for healing and your Q is already acts as a slow.

Gunblade is also very expensive, its not bad on Kayle but not as a first or second item on her but maybe as a 3rd item.

She is a strictly worse Azir, if you are playing her as a carry. If you wanna have DPS Soraka on your team, she is great. I used to have like 90 % with her in ranked from silver to plat 3 (and that was when she was underpowered) - mainly as support kayle, but also also top and jungle. If you can properly time your ult, you will win. Most Kayles I see are noobs and save their ults only for them. Lich bane is underrated on her, I don't see hurrican been so good now for AP champions with the lowered AS.

I see. Thank you.

Yes, she's pretty strong and pretty easy to pick up. She's best used Mid or Top lane as a counterpick to someone you know it will be easy to farm against (melee tanks in top lane, melee assassins that don't have a big powerspike until 6 in mid lane) so she can sit and farm until the point where she just shreds everything with her auto attacks.

Rush Nashor's tooth always and afterwards go for a mix of on-hit and AP items with a lot of possible paths.

Top lane Kayle is awesome right now.

item 3124 item 3091 item 3078 item 3115 item 3085 Rageblade, Wit's End, Trinity Force, and Nashor's Tooth are all fantastic items on her. You can pretty much pick-and-choose what you want based on the game state, seeing as Hurricane and <insert AP item here> are good picks, as well.

I advise against Nashor's and TF on the same build unless you´re running default AP/AD runes with no AS and CDR/level. Otherwise, Nashor's is the standard. TF for the cheeky AD build.

Top lane. Although she is seeing respectable success in mid and jungle.

Rune setup, at least mine is: AS marks Armor yellows CDR/level blues 2 AS quints 1 CDR/level quint

18/12/0 masteries with Fervor of Battle

Max E first, then Q or W, depending on item build.

If you plan on getting Rylai's, then max W second. If not, then max Q second.

As for build examples:

Q maxed second:

item 3115 item 3006 item 3124 item 3091 item 3153 item 3026 - Default item 3078 item 3006 item 3124 item 3094 item 3046 item 3072 - AD build. Considerably strong in this patch.

W maxed second:

item 3115 item 3006 item 3124 item 3085 item 3116 item 3026 - Default/Champion.gg build item 3078 item 3006 item 3124 item 3046 item 3022 item 3026 - AD/Slow build

Thank you. Time to go test out that AD build lol. It Looks interesting to me and it looks like it could be really good too lol.

I tried a very ADC focused build on her. Without Guinsoo's.

Didn´t go so well. That item's become a staple to her builds.

what is her best role right now?

Kayle I think is the only champion that can play all 5 positions. My favorite lane for her is Top.

She's also great Bot lane as a substitute for an AD Carry, her only drawback being her lack of burst.

She's auto win mid lane vs the common cheesy picks like Yasuo and Zed. She's counters Zed really fuckin hard. Anyone who loses to Zed while playing Kayle should quit this game, that's how hard she shits on Zed.

As a jungler she takes a lot longer to get going and her ganks are not all that but she's insane by midgame with her JG item complete.

As a support. She can carry hard if your AD Carry fails to do so. I think she is the only legit support champ that can do this.

My build for Kayle is balaced she is pretty much unstoppable an can 1v3 its item 3115 item 3006 item 3022 item 3065 item 3071 item 3124 you start with cooldowns and AS then get the frozen mallet to chew melees and also keep champions from getting away then you balance her mr and armor while increasing her heals and making her tanky then you get cleaver to boost her fervor since she is predominantly ad finally you ramp the final damage output with guinsoo's you set her 18-12-0 and use AS quints and marks Cooldown glyphs and increased health runes. You start with her Q so you can poke or deal damage on the run then E second and finally her W last to keep her healthy late game, the whole meanwhile leveling her R. I build her AD with AP support because her Q and E damage output is higher with AD plus the black cleaver stacks a higher damage output but AP support so her W doesn't wind up practically useless late game. Her best roles are top or support. where support you will substitute item 2302 for item 3022 .
