Who Wins
- You win early 1v1s through superior melee stats and Determination stacking from trades.
- Level 6 heavily favors you since R provides massive engage potential and AoE damage that Kayle cannot match with her defensive ultimate.
How to Trade
- Look for extended trades using Q double-strike to build Determination stacks, then use W to pull her back in when she tries to disengage.
- Your E dash can close gaps when she tries to kite, making her Q slow less effective.
Wave Control
- Push aggressively to deny her farm and force her into range where W can pull her into extended trades.
- Control the wave state to create opportunities for all-ins, especially once you have R available.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W when she has her movement speed from W active, as the pull becomes less effective.
- Avoid chasing too far without Determination stacks built up, as her range advantage becomes more problematic when you lack the bonus AD to threaten her.
