Kayle

Notes

• The stacking bonus attack speed can be tracked on the HUD via a buff called Zeal, while the maximum stacks bonus grants the buff Exalted.
• Subsequent applications will also refresh the duration of all stacks, but all of them are lost when expired.
• If Kayle is in her attack animation after the stacks expire, she gains another 0.5 seconds to refresh/stack Zeal.
• Basic attacks within 175 units will still use Kayle's melee basic attack animations and do not utilize projectiles.
• They are still classified as ranged attacks.
• Due to this fact, projectile-blocking effects cannot intercept basic attacks while Kayle's target is within her "melee" range.
• On becoming Aflame, Kayle's bonus size grows linearly over 1 second.
• Basic attacks against structures do not trigger fire waves.
• While at 4 stacks of Zeal, the next attack on-attack reaching the fifth stack will be empowered by Aflame, releasing the first fire wave.
• The Zeal and Exalted buffs are replaced by a new buff that grants the benefits of both and it is not visible on Kayle's HUD.
• A wave consists of three projectiles for the hitbox and a fourth for visuals.
• The hitbox projectiles spawn 75 units behind Kayle, travel through her, and are destroyed once they've traveled 850 units. Their technical details are:
• Range: 850 (755 effective)
• Width: 200
• Projectile Speed: 2800
• Angle: 18 (left and right at 9 to their side, respectively)
• The distance of the fire waves scales with bonus attack range.
• Projectile-blocking effects can block each projectile individually.
• It is possible to block the visuals, but still get hit by an unblocked "invisible" hitbox projectile.
• Hitting an enemy with multiple projectiles of the same wave will not increase the damage dealt.
• The fire wave shares cast instance with the triggering basic attack.
• The amount of Conqueror stacks gained will be 2 (melee) / 1 (ranged) if the basic attack deals damage first or 2 if the wave does so.
• Keep in mind that it's still two damage instances. If one triggers Bone Plating, the other's damage will be blocked.
• Fire waves roll critical strike chance on each target hit individually.
• A known issue is that despite dealing area spell damage the fire wave does not:
• Trigger Manaflow Band.
• Because Kayle is both a melee and ranged champion, she can purchase both ranged and melee exclusive items at anytime, but their effects will function depending on her current range type; the same principle also applies to runes.
• However, keep in mind that, prior to ascending to Arisen, also changes this behaviour based on its usage.
• Waves are fired in the direction that Kayle is facing. Changing that during the attack windup via Flash will also change the direction of the wave.
• Each ascension has an unique animation and a voice line. (See: Kayle's quotes)
• The ascensions' animation will override the current one, but it does not cancel Kayle's current action, nor her previous orders.
