Abilities:

  • Passive: Divine Ascent - Kayle evolves her form at levels 6, 11, and 16, gaining ranged attacks and increased power
  • Q: Radiant Blast - Fires a celestial blade that deals damage and reduces armor/magic resist
  • W: Celestial Blessing - Heals and grants movement speed to Kayle and target ally
  • E: Starfire Spellblade - Empowers next attack with bonus damage
  • R: Divine Judgment - Makes target invulnerable and deals damage in an area

Skill Order: Max Q > E > W Start with E at level 1 for early trading potential Q max provides safer laning and better wave clear E max is an alternative for maximum sustained damage
