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 Lee Sin
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Step up when he misses Q
Step up when Sonic Wave (Q) misses you: without it, he has no dash to reach you, and it has a 10 to 6 second cooldown.
- Spread out from your allies
In teamfights, spread out from your allies when facing him: the champion he kicks with Dragon's Rage (R) damages every enemy they collide with and knocks them into the air.
- Watch your early jungle
Ward your jungle entrance early on: Lee Sin often looks to invade early to get ahead.
- Drag the game out
If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Lee Sin is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
