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 Tryndamere

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't trade when his Fury is high

    Avoid taking a trade when his Fury is high: with Battle Fury (passive), it raises his critical strike chance, and Bloodlust (Q) turns it into healing.

  2. Harass him while he farms

    Hit him when he walks up to minions to farm: each last hit gives him Fury, which Bloodlust (Q) then turns into healing.

  3. Don't turn your back on him

    Against Mocking Shout (W), back off sideways rather than turning your back on him: the spell only slows enemies who are facing away from him.

  4. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, plan for what comes after Undying Rage (R): he can't die during the effect, so back off or hold any CC you have, and finish him when it ends.
