How to play Kayle in ARAM Mayhem

Kayle is one of the strongest picks in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier S, #7 of 173 champions, with a 55.5% win rate over 1,474,337 games.

Kayle's damage is mixed (34% physical, 64% magic), which makes it awkward for the enemy team to itemize against. It brings almost no crowd control, so it relies on teammates to set up kills.

Most Kayle players go On-hit (52% of games), but the AP path, ability power items, is ARAMKit's top-ranked build: Nashor's Tooth, Dusk and Dawn and Rabadon's Deathcap, with a 61.5% win rate. For boots, most players buy Berserker's Greaves, but Gluttonous Greaves rank higher.

The cards that do best on Kayle are Ethereal Weapon, Wooglet's Witchcap and Urf's Champion. Cards built around attack speed and on-hit fill most of the top of its list, followed by ability power. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Apex Inventor and Skilled Sniper when you can: they do worst on Kayle. A pair to look for: Ethereal Weapon with Master of Duality.

Take Flash and Ghost (68% of players). Max E (Starfire Spellblade) first, then Q, then W. Players who max E first instead win a little more often, so it is worth trying.
