Kayle Tips and Tricks

Kayle is weak in the early game until she unlocks her R, which grants her range and increased survivability. Play safe until you have access to your R. When your R is on cooldown, be cautious as you are vulnerable and can be easily killed if caught without it. In the early game, keep the wave closer to your side of the map to increase your safety and reduce the enemy's ability to set you behind.
