Hello peeps.
I've been interested in trying kayle on 3s after doing a bit of testing in customs but I tend to lose early laning pretty easily. Can anyone recommend me a build setting?

Currently I'm using 26/0/3 masteries with the following runes:

Arpen Marks
Flat Armor Seals
Scaling Magic Resist Glyphs
Flat AD Quints

I know it isn't the best setting for kayle, it's something generic.
As for build I thought of something like blade of the ruined king, runaan's and cleaver.

Cool a Kayle thread. I just posted a comment about Kayle in another thread. I don't play her near as much as I should but If she is played correctly I honestly believe she is the most OP champ on TT right now. How I build her though requires your team to be made up of bruisers or tanks if you want to be faceroll. If not she is still ridiculously strong.

I go a complete different route. Note that my masteries and runes change a lot to try different things with her. With that said I go AS quints, AS reds, Armor yellows, MR blues. 21/9/0 On the AP side of the offense tree.

Start off with Boots and Dagger. Finish Berserker's greaves first. After I rush Malady. After then it depends on how the match is going but final build would be something like

Berserker's/Malady/BFT/Wits End/Nashor's Tooth/Cap

End build gives you enough cdr to allow E 100% up time, so no more melee range. You get two bubbles. And you do BOOKOO amounts of single target and AoE damage with an "ok" heal. I only ever see Kayle's played the way you posted and I never view them as a threat.

I feel like the need of nashor's cdr is more a late game thing, can't I just replace it with a blue pot and instead of nashor build something like perhaps a runann or a cleaver?

Edit: What about skilling order? Lots of guides say Q first because of the damage amp, but I prefer maxing E first, is that wrong?

R>E>Q>W

You can build how you want. Just sharing what I do with her and it has made me think she is the most OP thing on TT. And I have played ~3-400 games on the new TT

I got told awhile ago by someone else who supposedly mains Kayle that my AP/AS is weak compared to flat AD. But, the build I use has worked pretty good with little editing around all the recent changes to items/masteries. I currently don't have my client logged in so I am unable to look at my masteries, but they're very heavy offense (I even have an experimental all offensive page).

The items I start with are a ring and boots. Ring for a little meat early game, some early AP to splash around, and the mana regen while a little unnecessary is nice. From there I go berserker's, malady, nashor's, rageblade, gunblade.

At this point its up to interpretation of the match. I used to go Black Cleaver to further shred armor on top of my passive, get a little more AD, and just keep stacking AS. While my build lets me deal insane damage, and the AP gives my heal a nice boost too, I lately sell the ring and swap it with a Ruined King. Its even more life steal, a bulk lifesteal active, and more attack damage. I find the armor shred is really unnecessary when you're already shredding armor/magic resist so much that your AS/AP tears people up.

Finally if the game goes on long enough to reach this point, I sell my greaves for a Trinity. More meat, a constant slow (while there is only a % it will work, you land so many hits it might as well be 100% success), steroid from Sheen, and the speeds from Zeal.

As for skills, I go start E, and alternate with Q until I get the ulti, and don't usually take the heal til mid game. I play fairly passive vs enemy champs early and just bully people E while farming (love the splash)

Nashor's + Blade of the Ruined King. Kayle's passive ensures the BotRK's magic damage makes it through, and AS/CDR from Nashor's means you'll be getting more %damage hits, from a safe distance.


Q+W+Blade Active also means no one character will ever catch you if you don't want them to.
