An off-meta build people actually run in Classic. Stat sites do not track it, so this one is curated from how the abilities scale in this patch — treat it as a starting point, not measured data.

Playstyle
Righteous Fury adds magic damage to every auto, so Nashor's Tooth and Lich Bane win short trades. Divine Blessing covers the poke, and Intervention saves an ally outright even from mid. The range is short, so a bad entry angle gets punished immediately.

Champion Tips
Riot officialPlaying as
- Using Intervention on a high-DPS ally can turn the tides of battle by giving your ally free reign to attack.
- Kayle can effectively do large amounts of damage or support her allies depending on her item build.
- Kayle benefits greatly from attack damage and ability power, making hybrid items like Nashor's Tooth and Trinity Force very effective on her.
- If you wish to support your allies, items like Aegis of the Legion and Shurelya's Reverie can help you assist teammates.
Playing against
- Intervention only grants Kayle or her allies immunity to damage. Slows and stuns can still be applied, so trap them if they're being over zealous.
- Kayle is usually a fragile target. If you see her ultimate cast on an ally, switch to attacking her.
- Be sure to look at what items Kayle is building to determine what role she is fulfilling on her team.
