Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE DIVINE ASCENT

Kayle's attacks are empowered by the heavens as she levels up and spends skill points. Her wings are lit aflame as she progressively gains Attack Speed, Movement Speed, Attack Range, and waves of fire on her attacks.

1 RADIANT BLAST

Kayle conjures a portal, summoning a celestial sword that pierces through enemies, slowing, damaging, and reducing the resistances of all hit.

2 CELESTIAL BLESSING

Blessed by the divine, Kayle heals and grants movement speed to herself and the nearest ally.

3 STARFIRE SPELLBLADE

Passive: Kayle's celestial sword, Virtue, deals bonus magic damage to enemies she attacks. Active: Kayle's next attack smites her target with celestial fire, dealing bonus damage proportionate to their missing health.

ULTIMATE DIVINE JUDGMENT

Kayle makes an ally invulnerable and calls upon former Aspects of Justice to purify the area around her target with a holy rain of swords.
