Playing as Kennen

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Harass melees with Q

    Against a melee champion, harass with Thundering Shuriken (Q) from your range: the shuriken flies far and applies Mark of the Storm (passive).

  2. Three marks to stun

    Hit the same target with Thundering Shuriken (Q), Lightning Rush (E) then Electrical Surge (W): each spell applies Mark of the Storm (passive), and the third stuns.

  3. Trade with your 5th auto

    Take your trades when your 5th auto is ready: Electrical Surge (W) adds magic damage and a Mark of the Storm (passive) to it.

  4. Engage into the middle of the group

    To engage, rush into the group with Lightning Rush (E), Flash if needed, then cast Slicing Maelstrom (R): its repeated hits apply marks and stun.

Playing against Sett

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Leave the center of his punch

    Get out of the center of Haymaker (W): it deals true damage there, and the sides only deal physical damage.

  2. Keep your distance after Knuckle Down

    Keep your distance once Knuckle Down (Q) is used: he has no dash, and it's this spell that speeds him toward you.

  3. No big trade you can't finish

    Don't take a big trade unless you can finish it: Haymaker (W) stores part of the damage he takes as Grit, for a stronger shield and punch.

  4. Don't group behind your tank

    Don't stay grouped behind your tank: The Show Stopper (R) can slam them onto you, and the damage depends on their bonus health.
