How to win lane as Kayle against Locke · 46.06% win rate over 406 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even: you are weak, but your kit is built to survive his chip. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays even — he presses, you farm safely through the pressure. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even because his dash-in only chips a champion made to endure it. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even: you scale toward 6 while his edge fails to convert. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even — your R invulnerability cancels his all-in and his execute. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item stays even as your ranged form starts kiting his burst. |
| Two+ items | Kayle | Two-plus items: ranged DPS plus R invulnerability make the late game entirely yours. |
This is one of the calmest early games a scaling Kayle gets: his chip and his level-3 dash-in sting, but your kit is built to endure exactly that, and every stage through 5 is genuinely even. Farm, answer his trades briefly, and let the clock do the heavy lifting for you.
