Rather than focusing on having an ideal item set, u need to strategise more with how you'll fight in the beginning. Since Kayle is terrible at early game, you have to decide between burst damage or consistent damage.

You wanna play passively, get HP and Damage gears first. Meaning, Phage, TBC and Wit's End if the enemy is someone like Darius. You wanna be consistently aggressive while at the same time Mana Economical, get AS gears and max out ur E.

All comes down to who your opponent is though. Wukong and Talon? Focus on AS and E.

Squishy tops? Get HP and Damage first.

Darius? Normally I wouldnt recommend this strategy to a newbie. But if you wanna beat a Darius completely, let him kill you first or let him farm a bit (If you want to let him kill u first, make sure First Blood is taken cos if he gets too much gold, you'll be at a complete disadvantage).

The reason for this is cos you have to let him get a staple gear first. Once he gets a staple gear, he'll try to focus on revolving his gear around that gear's main attribute. He goes for HP first? Get AS gears and rank E asap. He gets MR? Focus on Burst with Q while gettin AD gears with some HP bonuses to ramp up ur performance.

Remember, the 'Let him Kill You first' Tactic is a last resort mvoe. Only do this when there are way too many stalemates or when the enemy jungler ganks too much. Make sure to do this pre lvl 6, preferably pre lvl 3. If he gets his ulti, the tactic would've been for naught.
