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 Talon

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his blades on the return

    Get out of the path of Rake (W), especially on the return: the returning blades slow you, and each spell that hits brings you closer to Blade's End (passive).

  2. Push to keep him in lane

    Push your wave whenever you can: he then has to stay and farm instead of roaming by vaulting walls with Assassin's Path (E).

  3. Engage when his ult is on cooldown

    If you can engage, go for him while Shadow Assault (R) is on cooldown: it's his main way out of a fight, and it comes back in 100 to 60 seconds.

  4. Ping as soon as he disappears

    Ping your team as soon as he leaves your vision, and ward the paths behind walls: Assassin's Path (E) lets him vault walls to roam through the jungle.
