How to play it

✓

Block her Q

with your passive when you can trade at the same time: but don't waste your blade position just to block it.

✓

All-in level 2

Threaten trades at level 1 when she walks up to CS, then take the standard level-2 all-in and freeze after your first reset.

✓

Place your blade up

the lane and punish her with drag-throughs whenever she steps up to farm.

✕

Never let the game drift long and even: after level 11 you basically can't win a trade, so you must build a lead early and punish the low Kayle under tower.
