Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and mobility, able to poke with Q and kite with E while Kayle struggles to trade back effectively.
- Post-6 you still have the advantage as your Mega Gnar all-in potential with R can burst Kayle before her R becomes impactful, though you must respect her scaling damage.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves poking with Q when Kayle goes for CS, then using W-empowered autos if she tries to trade back, always maintaining distance with E ready.
- In Mega form, look for R-W-Q combos when Kayle uses abilities or is positioned poorly near walls.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your side to deny Kayle farm while staying safe from ganks, using your range advantage to zone her from CS.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall, as Kayle will happily farm under tower and scale safely.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your E aggressively when your rage bar is high, as getting caught in Mega form without escape tools makes you vulnerable to ganks and Kayle's sustained damage.
- Avoid extended trades in Mini form where Kayle can proc multiple E attacks and heal with W.
