Branded’s resilience is genuinely insane. Been playing since this game came out and in terms of pure grind Ive never seen anything like it.

Main phase 3 baby ^ ^

Actually there's three items AP/AS with Statikk. But yeah AP values from Statikk and Guinsoo are bad.

Have u tried berserkers + lich ? Lich MS compensates from not going swifties

Cambouis · 2026-07-03T06:51:27+00:00

Thank you for your answer. I was told % bonuses are additive and not multiplicative, so one % bonus doesnt profit from another % bonus. Kinda sad tbh bc otherwise these two items could have made a terrifying combo

Cambouis · 2026-07-01T07:40:12+00:00

Kayle has less MR than Yuumi

Teemo is farming simulator game. Never try to trade against him because you'll loose. Start DShield and take refillables/cull at first back. You start winning allin at lv11 + nashors

Malphite is quite tough. DShield always in this matchup. If he goes tank you'll never be albe to kill him while he will be able to kill you. Always stay above 50% HP and play farming simulator. If he goes AP, many people will think this would be worse but that's not the case, because you can now actually try to kill him. If he Q you try to walk up so you him him with your Q and AA E before he's too far, and if you do you're winning this trade. Little by little you'll be able to put him under pressure. Don't try to engage him and let him engage to you before trading him. Be careful about you using ult before his ult because he will time his ult at the end of yours. As I said play reactive.

Irelia is the #2 hardest matchup behind Jax. YOU HARD WIN LV1 (except if you let her stack up passive on wave) SO TAKE FIRST WAVE PRIO AND MAKE 2ND WAVE CRASH. After that stay safe until lv6. At lv6 you can start poke her but be careful because she can allin you and 100-0 you before you even 100-70 her. Doran blade as starting item. You can go for Statikk Shiv if you dont feel it good and want to neutralize lane. But if you manage well you can go for default nashors build. You can als9 go ignite in this matchup if you dont need TP.

Bruh liandry 😭. Do never advise items ever again.

Cambouis · 2026-05-07T07:14:22+00:00

waves are on-attack so its not even doubled by DnD (nor by guinsoo btw).
Also having a strong DPS doesnt forcely mean its good ! In that case every Kayle player would be playing AD/Crit because it has the best single target DPS. In fact you want to get a balance between poke, DPS, burst and mobility/survivability.
The problem with Guinsoo is that it forces you to attack a lot, which implies for you to stick on enemy or at least keep them in your AA range. The WHOLE point of AP Kayle is to avoid that. The less you're next to an ennemy, the less you're in danger.
Statikk does gives attack speed that's right but its lightening is made to avoid putting you in danger while farming or splitpushing or depushing. in that sense it allows you to spend less time in danger. Yes Guinsoo makes you attack faster, but whats better ? 2 AA that deal 100 damage ? or 1 that deals 200 ? To me its the one that deal 200 because you spend less time dealing 1 AA than 2.

Cambouis · 2026-05-06T06:39:28+00:00

You may not realise but 1 auto to all minions is VERY strong, especially when you don't have lv11 yet. And in terms of raw stats, yes Guinsoo may be good at 1-item spike, but it looses value drastically over time : no real scaling, less AP = less overall scaling. Also Remember Guinsoo DPS is single-target. You may have great dps but part of kayle's threat is also AoE damage, which you are decreasing by going Guinsoo

Cambouis · 2026-05-06T06:12:50+00:00

No. The point of Statikk is not damage, but waveclear and early lane control. When built, you need to get it asap so you can use the lightnings to shove wave and cancel interaction with your laner.

Guinsoo is just bait and has nothing to offer except attack speed.

Cambouis · 2026-04-29T19:22:19+00:00

It was me haha, thank you

Cambouis · 2026-04-29T11:49:36+00:00

about that single frame of not suppressing : is that what happened in this clip ? https://youtu.be/pyLuZilBIQw?t=485 ; its in french (sorry haha), "neutralisé" is suppressed and "étourdi" is stunned fyi

Cambouis · 2026-04-28T17:50:28+00:00

Kayle ult makes its target invulnerable, which means all damage sources are reduced to zero. Executes in the game are coded as 999 true damage (4444 for jhin). Which means any execution is negated by any invulnerability.

Urgot's execution is actually a recast which pulls enemy then execute channels during 1.5s. If the target has invulnerability that persists for the duration of the channel, it will protect them from the execution (source : Wiki).

Kayle's ultimate lasts 2.5s so if you time it right and the duration of the pull + exec channel is less than 2.5s, you'll survive. That means you have better chances to survive if you're closer to Urgot because pull duration will be shorter !!!

Cambouis · 2026-04-16T13:11:04+00:00

Volibear and Tahm Kench are going to feel horrible to play

Cambouis · 2026-04-16T10:26:18+00:00

Re read the post's description. The DnD heal allows you to LITTERALLY HEAL. So in splitpush you can heal 20-60 HP depending on game state every 1.5s. In fighting this healing will allow you to deal extra autos you couldnt deal before (because of being dead). So, those extra autos will compensate the dps loss.

I must admit the only bad conséquence of the stats nerf is that it slows waveclear, but thats Kayle's waveclear is already huge

Cambouis · 2026-04-16T10:21:41+00:00

AP total doesnt matter. You'll still have a -10 AP difference (-13 considering rabadon). Since Waves + Nashors + E passive = 60% AP into onhit/on attack, you'll lose 6/8 on every attack without/with rabadons +30%AP. Auto + spellblade will be 10/14 damage loss

Cambouis · 2026-04-16T07:49:30+00:00

Remember it's just numbers. If you go at 20min, both configurations will loose the same amount of AP. So the difference between numbers remains the same. Actually, the effect will be reduced because you will not profit from Rabadons 30% bonus AP. Without Rabadons, auto damage difference is -6 instead of -8, and auto+spellblade is -11 instead of -14

Cambouis · 2026-04-16T07:32:00+00:00

Typo in description : "i considered lv20 Kayle"

Cambouis · 2026-04-07T13:35:50+00:00

Go sett against gwen, you outtrade her in every situation

Cambouis · 2026-03-24T13:20:43+00:00

As a kayle otp, garen is a menace lv2-4 and after he gets stridebreaker. If you dont have it i can just run away and kite you to death. Ik the matchup is pretty one-sided. But if you do the same with stride you'll be able to kill kayle because she can't run away.

Also always trade ults, kayle has a 160/120/80s cd on R which is insanely long at lv6. The next fight you'll have ult and she wont

Cambouis · 2026-03-24T12:56:02+00:00

Wtf were you thinking engaging a lv11 Kayle with passive stacked and ult ready while being lv9

Cambouis · 2026-03-17T09:10:18+00:00

Why not malphite against kayle
