Item Build

Starting Items

Starting Items Largely depend on playstyle. An only consumable start will guarantee that you have more lane control. You can also take Faerie charm, but you'll have less wards

Core Items

I play Kayle generally like a normal support. Philostone is key in order to have enough mana and hp regen and you need the GP/10 in order to have gold for later purchases. Sightstone is a must, which will be upgraded later into Ruby Sightstone, this will give you the much needed health and tons of wards. By now you should also buy tier one boots, just to be able to keep up with your team and to be able to flee if needed (with the help of your W it should be enough).

OPTIONAL:

Zerks are good for procing your passive and shredding your target's armor and mr, but generally isn't very worth it since you won't have any other attack speed items

Late game build:

Sample Build:

The build really depends on your team comp.

Is your Jungler going to buy Aegis (Runic Bulwark)? If yes you should be shooting straight for other items. If not, you should be doing it, since it helps your team so much. Afterwards, upgrading Philostone into Shurelya's is a must since it helps your team engage or disengage.

Then you need to acess what your team needs.

• Have a good amount of AD champions? Zeke's Herald would help them alot in teamfights.
• Need a shield to protect your team? Locket of the Iron Solari should be picked up next
• Your carry needs a free cleanse and your bubble just isn't enough? Get Mikael's Crucible
• Don't have a good initiator or want to improve him? Get Shard of True Ice

You should be picking these items in order to support proficiently.

So after the core build let's see the options

You'll be getting these almost always:

Mercury Threads for the CC reduction, Sightstone because it's a core item for supports giving wards AND health and Shurelya's, that gives you mana/hp regen, much needed CD reduction and an active to engage/disengage from fights.

Jungler building Aegis? If the answer is no it should be your first big item (you can upgrade it to Bulwark later):

 Now choose 2 out of these 4 options, depending on the situations listed above:

OR

 OR

 OR

There are obviously other, more unorthodox choices. You can always build as a 2nd AD carry late game with damage items or pick up some other, more underrated support items like:

Will also boost AP, give health regen, more damage for minions and has a built in Promote. This item should be picked after a discussion with the team whether the item will be worth it or not.

OR

Another 50 AP item. I've seen many supports take this because of it's active, but it has a long 120 second cooldown and Kayle already has a pretty good slow.

Interesting build stats:

A big stat for any support is Cooldown Reduction (CDR). You'll be stacking it a lot in order to have your skills up more often.

Assuming you always take Shurelya's and either Locket OR Zeke's you'll have 30% and 35% respectively (assuming you follow the masteries). This will mean your cooldowns will go down to the following:

(Remember that Righteous fury lasts for 10 seconds, so it'll always have a 6 second downtime with no CD. With 30% It'll be just above a second and with 35% it'll be slightly less half a second which is great since you'll never have to go into melee mode again).
