Playing as Evelynn

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. Save your R to finish

    Save Last Caress (R) to finish: its damage increases against enemies below 30% health, and you blink backward, untargetable.

  3. Approach in camouflage

    Approach your target unseen once you hit level 6: from then on, Demon Shade (passive) camouflages you out of combat.

  4. Farm before level 6

    Farm before level 6 rather than forcing ganks: Demon Shade (passive) only camouflages you from that level on.

Playing against Jarvan IV

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Step out of his flag's line

    As soon as he plants Demacian Standard (E), step out of the line between him and the flag: Dragon Strike (Q) pulls him to it and knocks anyone in his path into the air.

  2. Punish him after his combo

    Punish him after his flag-and-lance combo: without the flag, he has no dash to get out, and Demacian Standard (E) has a 12 to 10 second cooldown.

  3. Save a way out of his arena

    If you have a way over walls, save it for Cataclysm (R): the arena can't be crossed on foot and locks you in with him while it lasts.
