Critical-threshold hypercarry build: Kayle is not worth much before her proper breakpoints, then becomes a fight engine if the build truly bought her the right to reach them. The sheet must therefore talk as much about survival into the spike as damage after it.
Three builds, one right answer per draft. The advisor reads the five enemies (and your allies) and names who triggers what — the same rule as the Draft MVP sheet and Ask Nexus.
Best Kayle build (Baron Lane): Kraken Slayer › Blade of the Ruined King › Terminus › Runaan's Hurricane › Nashor's Tooth, boots Gluttonous Greaves, keystone Lethal Tempo. Three variants and when to pick each are below.
Standard build maximizing damage output. Use on neutral matchups or when ahead.

Nothing dominates on the other side: the standard build maximizes your damage.
Open this draft in the tool →Anti-resist build for tanky enemies. Choose when multiple enemies build armor/magic resist.
15,000 total costSustain build leaning on heal/omnivamp to win prolonged duels.
14,900 total cost -100g
Scores out of 10: where this champion sits against the whole roster, phase by phase. The strip shows its own power ramp level by level — it does not compare across champions.
Your hardest matchups in this role, and the item from your situational list that answers each one.

Same advisor in the Draft (the MVP sheet applies it to your real draft) and in Ask Nexus, which explains the choice. On counters pages: the variant to take against each counter-pick.
Foundational item core, without recent situational additions — kept as a base for understanding the kit. For the up-to-date build, see the section above.
