Ornn into Kaylemedium

Overview

Deny Kayle safe scaling by forcing brittle trades and controlling wave states early.
Prioritize stable poke with terrain and brittle to pressure her weak early form.
Focus on durable trades and scaling through item upgrades to outlast Kayle's late-game threat.

Trading pattern

Trade around terrain pillars and apply brittle to maximize follow-up CC damage.
Punish Kayle when her is down by committing with knockup and brittle.
Avoid using knockup without terrain or escape paths to prevent poke retaliation.

Danger windows

Kayle is most dangerous post-level 6 with invulnerability; avoid trades when it's available.
Vulnerable before first tank item when Kayle can force extended trades and poke.
Avoid fighting near terrain without team or escape options, as Kayle can punish predictable engages.

Early game

Use to create terrain for knockups and punish Kayle's low early agency.
Avoid extended trades before your first tank item; trade short brittle combos and back off.
Keep the wave from freezing near Kayle's tower to deny her safe farm and scaling.

Power spikes

At level 6, use for long-range engage when your team can follow up or Kayle is overextended.
First tank item spike lets you absorb Kayle's poke and pressure her more confidently.
Respect Kayle's level 6 ranged form and invulnerability; avoid all-ins without cooldown advantage.

Win conditions

Deny Kayle free scaling by controlling wave and forcing brittle trades before level 6.
Reach first tank item and use to initiate teamfights locking down Kayle or her allies.
Prioritize stable farming and item upgrades to maximize your late-game engage and tank value against Kayle.
