How to play Kael

Best laneTop or Bot (with a carry)

Ability pointsQ > R > E · F at 8 / 11 / 14

Combo

Q Shield Charge into the enemy carry → R Earthshaker to slow everyone around you → E Iron Bulwark when they turn on you. Open big fights with F Titan's Fall onto a group.

Tips

Every ability you cast gives you a shield (Valor), so cast often in fights. Even a missed Q still shields you.
Titan's Fall is a leap: use it to start a fight from far away, or to land between your carry and the enemy diving them.
Save E for the moment the enemy focuses you. 25% less damage plus a shield is how you live through a tower dive.

Watch out for

Kited by long-range heroes (Lyra, Hana, Yuzuki) once Q is down
Low damage on his own; he needs a team behind him
