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 Skarner

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from walls

    Stay away from walls against him: Ixtal's Impact (E) drags you to the end of his charge, and stuns you if you hit a wall.

  2. Stay close to your team

    Stay close to your team: Impale (R) suppresses up to 3 champions in front of him and drags them toward his team.

  3. Interrupt his charge

    If you have a stun, root or knock-up, save it for Ixtal's Impact (E): it interrupts his charge.

  4. Get out of Impale range

    When he gets into melee range, leave the area in front of him: Impale (R) strikes in front of Skarner, and a dash or Flash lets you dodge it.
