I think I would at least be very careful until level 3, in order to get my full combo. Level 3 is the point Riven becomes epic. Then, I would use E + Q in to close distance (if she isn't closer). This gives me a shield, 2 passive stacks, and maybe even some damage from Q. Then 1 basic attack if possible, then W (directly if she is out of range for a basic attack, but not for this), and just go on with auto-attack Q auto-attack Q auto-attack. And use an ability whenever possible if she decided to fight, and you think you are going to win. Otherwise back off (I just noticed Kayle both has more health and more armor than Riven. Which, in my opinion, is a bad choice, because Kayle can become ranged when she needs to, where Riven is a melee with only an ult with range). However, I think you can outdamage Kayle, due to your passive. And never forget to use Ignite + Exhaust, which you should, imo, always run on top lane, if only for the possibility your enemy does too. It makes you win 1v1s early game. Or lose, if you don't have it. When you are level six, just activate your ult, then do your combo, make sure not to waste your ult on hers. If you are just being careful, you don't waste (too) much abilities and basic attacks on Kayle's ult. It only lasts 2 seconds. And always remember her Q gives her some bonus damage (6-10%, depending on skill level), and her E gives her bonus damage too (20-60). Would you be able to bait it out, then you should be able to attack her in the five seconds she doesn't have E. However, I wouldn't try to fight her when her Q is on cooldown, because it's cooldown is lower than your cooldowns (which you will need to bait it out) are.
