Tips to maximize your impact
- Wait 2.5 seconds to charm
Mark your target with Allure (W) and wait 2.5 seconds before hitting: the mark then charms them and lowers their magic resist for your combo.
- Save your R to finish
Save Last Caress (R) to finish: its damage increases against enemies below 30% health, and you blink backward, untargetable.
- Approach in camouflage
Approach your target unseen once you hit level 6: from then on, Demon Shade (passive) camouflages you out of combat.
- Farm before level 6
Farm before level 6 rather than forcing ganks: Demon Shade (passive) only camouflages you from that level on.

Playing against Evelynn
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Back off as soon as she marks you
Back off toward your tower as soon as Allure (W) marks you: if the mark lasts 2.5 seconds, her next hit charms you and lowers your magic resist.
- Place a Control Ward
Once she hits level 6, place a Control Ward on her paths: it reveals camouflaged enemies, like Evelynn in Demon Shade (passive).
- Save your CC for her arrival
If you have CC, use it as soon as she comes out of camouflage on you: Last Caress (R) is her only way to become untargetable and get away.
- Play hard before she hits 6
Play hard before she hits level 6: without the Demon Shade (passive) camouflage, your wards see her coming.
Abilities and cooldowns
When out of combat, Evelynn enters Demon Shade. Demon Shade heals Evelynn when she is low on health and grants Camouflage after level 6.
