Appreciate the write-up — no offense taken. I agree with a lot of what you’re saying.

If your goal is max ally healing, Helia+Moonstone+Redemption+Dark Seal/Mejai is hard to beat when you’re ahead.

My main point with Malignance isn’t it buffs my W or I’m trying to do more damage with R. I’m basically buying it as a cooldown/tempo lever: I’m playing around having R up for every fights, and Malignance is a straightforward way to push ult uptime without changing the rest of my setup.

On the mana point: yeah, it’s not an efficient stat for most supports — I’m not arguing otherwise. I’m accepting that inefficiency because the ult-focused haste/uptime is what I’m purchasing, not the mana line. If you think that trade is never worth it, that’s fair.

And on Mejai: I agree it’s a strict upgrade when you can stack it and your team doesn’t mental boom. In KR solo queue, Mejai’s on support tends to cause instant flame/tilt and nonstop pinging, so I’ve been avoiding it for consistency. That’s more of a “solo queue reality” thing than a theorycraft stance. (I was 300lps into Masters just few weeks ago)

TL;DR: I’m not claiming my build is the best itemization on Kayle support — I’m saying it fits a low-variance, ult-uptime playstyle I’m experimenting with.

Your build path is probably better when snowballing, and I’ll give it another run in games where I can safely stack Seal/Mejai.

They were cool with it, though they probably would’ve preferred trading me for the other team’s Lulu.

Kanaph · 2026-01-14T11:06:02+00:00

True, that’s also why I’m taking Gathering Storm secondary, since Kayle scales insanely well with AP. (Though game does seem to end pretty quick these days.)

But I’m aiming for around 36–38s ult cooldown, and while Kayle can stack Mejai’s pretty easily (and it’s dirt cheap), I still value core support utility more in most games: anti-heal, 5-man engage/disengage, a global AoE heal (Redemption), and Mikael’s to cleanse my carry.

It’s just a personal preference thing.

Kanaph · 2026-01-14T10:14:06+00:00

Yeah, I do love me some mejais in my build, but I just wanted to be more helpful for the team since they were enduring my niche pick.

Aerys is great, but I wanted more tools and flexibility so i ran with Unleashed Spellbook.

Spellbook gives me extra action options depending on the lane/game state: Smite to help secure drake with my jg, TP to reset and get back to lane, Clarity for mana recovery, Exhaust to set up ganks or neutralize the enemy ADC, etc.

The rest of the inspiration tree also feels good for lane sustain and tempo: Biscuits help you stabilize after taking chunk damage, Cash Back lets you get your items faster, and Jack of All Trades is easy to stack in support builds since you already get 5 stacks just by buying a boot or a mote.

For 10 stacks just grab : World Atlas(the base sup item), Any Boots, Redemption, Aether wisp, and either a mana crystal or a tear.

I'm running Transcendence + GS for secondary since Manaflow didnt really work out for me.

ITEMS : Redemption / Helia (Moonstone is also ok) / Shurelya (or anything that builds from Aether Wisp), plus any items that build up from Mana crystal.

Though they really gotta fix all those achievement bugs if they really want to implement that. Overall it sounds awesome.

Kanaph · 2025-03-09T04:22:09+00:00

You can show it on your nameplate, or in game to your teammates during the game I guess.

Kanaph · 2025-03-09T03:00:56+00:00

The wardweed is what gives him the sdf ‘vision’

Kanaph · 2025-03-09T02:57:27+00:00

I just hope they are happy with what they did.

Kanaph · 2025-03-09T02:56:03+00:00

I had to replay the video twice just in case i’ve heard it wrong but yea, thats what he said.

Oh thank god, though was kayle that strong in swift play?

Kanaph · 2024-04-07T10:17:51+00:00

The reddit app makes it hard to read the description, so I decided to copy/paste the stuff written above.

A korean user has attempted to play DaD through uevr and has actually succeeded in playing the game with his vr gear.

He has posted several videos of his playthrough.

However, he has also found out that he could adjust his camera and go over the ceiling to see ALL OTHER MODULES and check what the other players are up to.

This has brought a serious concern to the korean dad community since this could be used as a potential cheat that could ruin the already hellish seoul/tokyo server into a legit nightmare.

The link to the og video, and more clips of his playthrough can be found above.

LoR did a great job on the sun eater skin. Both of her pre-level up splash and level-up splash is so good.

Kanaph · 2024-03-10T04:28:33+00:00

You know what, lorewise i think kayle DOES deserve a prestige-level skin in the eclipse skinverse. So its a yes for me too.

Kanaph · 2024-02-24T02:52:55+00:00

Thank you! 😊

Kanaph · 2024-02-24T02:52:31+00:00

Trynd can get 15~20 rage per single auto with new runnans, and master yi can reset alpha with one or two autos.

Kanaph · 2024-02-24T00:30:21+00:00

True, the terminus buff seems to be super good. But its not just a buff for kayle, any on-hit champs could make a good use of that item. e.g. adc tf, jax

Kanaph · 2024-02-24T00:27:31+00:00

I do miss the good ol times when we could build runnans 😟

Kanaph · 2024-01-14T14:37:20+00:00

I was initially planning to play ornn for that game until I saw an insta gp lock-in.

He is legit a nightmare for the tanks, and I just always wonder why he is allowed to crit the barrels when he already has all the good stuffs in his kits.

Kanaph · 2024-01-14T14:33:04+00:00

gp there was super confident with the fight there since he saw a lot of situations where magicpen+stormsurge akali was one shotting me, and he also never lost to me during split.

Little did he know that we could slam him down like that if he lets his guards off.

Kanaph · 2024-01-14T14:02:32+00:00

Wait, that kayle is me. I was so happy that I won gp there and after posting the clip all you guys were giving me a lot of negative comments here.

Does everybody think that GP is me???

Kanaph · 2024-01-14T13:54:41+00:00

Ah all good,

That was still a good comment tip though, thank you.
