Tips for Playing as Kayle with Gwen

Kayle benefits greatly from Attack Damage and Ability Power, making hybrid items like Nashor's Tooth and Hextech Gunblade very effective on her.

Using Divine Judgment on a high-DPS ally can turn the tides of battle by giving your ally free reign to attack.

Kayle's attacks become incredibly powerful once she gains attack range from Divine Ascent. Play safe until then.

Advice to Understand How Gwen Will Play

Gwen can still damage enemies outside her Hallowed Mists, especially with her Ultimate's range.

Some of Gwen's Abilities can apply her passive to multiple enemies, so aim them at groups to get maximum damage and healing.

Always be Attacking - In addition to dealing bonus damage, Gwen's Attacks empower or reset many of her Abilities.
