Playing as Evelynn
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 Hecarim
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Leave the landing point of his R
When he casts Onslaught of Shadows (R), move away from the end of his dash: the shockwave there fears every nearby enemy, longer after a long run.
- Save your CC for his charge
If you have a slow or CC, save it for Devastating Charge (E): he gains speed as he runs, and Warpath (passive) turns it into AD.
- Save your burst for after his W
Wait for Spirit of Dread (W) to end before your burst: while it lasts, he gains armor and magic resist and heals from damage dealt around him.
- Ward his gank paths
Ward his gank paths: Devastating Charge (E) gains speed over time, so he looks to build momentum in the fog of war.
