Abilities

Divine Ascent

Passive

Innate: Kayle ascends through four forms that each grant additional bonuses. She ascends upon spending a skill point at levels 1, 5, 9 and 13.

Level 1 - Zealous: Kayle's basic attacks on-attack generate a stack of Zeal lasting 5 seconds, refreshing on subsequent hits and stacking up to 5 times. For each stack, she gains 4% (+ 1% per 100 AP) bonus attack speed, up to a maximum 20% (+ 5% per 100 AP). At max stacks she becomes Exalted, gaining 8% bonus movement speed.

Level 5 - Arisen: Kayle becomes ranged and gains 350 bonus attack range for a total of 525.

Radiant Blast

Q

Active: Kayle conjures a portal in front of her that faces the target direction, from which a celestial sword launches forward. The sword expands upon hitting an enemy, targets struck in the area are dealt magic damage, slow for 2 seconds, and inflicted with 20% reduced armor and magic resistance for 4 seconds.

Cooldown11 to 8 4Range900

Celestial Blessing

W

Active: Kayle empowers her next basic attack within 6 seconds to have an uncancellable windup and deal additional bonus magic damage on-hit. If she is not yet Divine Ascent, this attack becomes ranged with 525 range.

Divine Ascent Bonus: The attack explodes upon the target, dealing the damage to surrounding enemies and applying on-hit effects. This is affected by critical strike modifiers.

Cooldown8 to 6.5 4

Divine Judgment

Ultimate

Active: Kayle grants herself or the target allied champion invulnerable for 2.5 seconds and conjures swords of fire. After 2.5 seconds, she rains the swords down around the target, dealing magic damage to nearby enemies.
