How to Play
Kayle Reroll gives you one of the fastest board-power spikes tracked in the early set, rolling down cheaply for a two star Kayle by mid-game. One tracker rates this comp a full tier higher than the rest, so treat the S tier possibility as real but not yet consensus.

Early Game
Ornn, Rakan, and Xayah are all cheap one cost bodies worth holding from the start. Roll a little at level 4 to 5 for Kayle copies once your econ allows.
Mid Game
Kayle's crit conversion comes online fast once she's two star, giving this comp a tempo spike well before most four and five cost comps are ready. Sejuani and Hecarim add frontline bulk as you level.
Late Game and Final Board
Aphelios can be added as a late flex carry if your gold allows a further roll, though the comp's main identity is winning the mid-game rather than scaling into a huge late-game payoff.
Best Items
Guinsoo's Rageblade and Jeweled Gauntlet are Kayle's core crit-conversion items, with Rabadon's Deathcap as a strong third slot once she's fully online.
Best Augments
Econ augments that accelerate your early rolling suit this comp's whole plan, since the entire point is reaching a two star Kayle faster than the lobby expects.
Positioning
Ornn, Rakan, Sejuani, and Hecarim form the front. Kayle goes in the backline; her range and crit build let her deal damage safely from range once she's online.
Flex Units and Alternative Carries
Xayah can be swapped for another cheap early unit depending on what your lobby offers; the frontline four are flexible around whichever Solar or Elderwood pieces you find.
Strengths and Weaknesses
One of the fastest tempo spikes in the format, letting you win rounds before slower comps are ready. Sources disagree on whether it's A or S tier, so expect it to be strong without necessarily being the best pick in every lobby.
