Guide to Countering Kayle as Rek'Sai

Tips for Playing as Rek'Sai against Kayle

Keeping tunnels spread out across the map will ensure you have choices when you want to cast Void Rush.

Advice to Win Against Kayle

Kayle starts the game as a weaker melee champion. Try to put her behind before she ascends to her ranged form.

Kayle is usually a fragile target. If you see her ultimate cast on an ally, switch to attacking her.

Divine Judgment only grants Kayle or her allies immunity to damage. Slows and stuns can still be applied, so trap them if they're being overzealous.
