Playing as Kindred

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Hunt your marks

    Hunt the targets of Mark of the Kindred (passive), jungle monsters included: each successful hunt empowers your basic spells, and every 4 hunts, your range increases.

  2. Fight inside Wolf's zone

    Activate Wolf's Frenzy (W), then fight inside its zone: Dance of Arrows (Q) has a much shorter cooldown there.

  3. Three autos after your E

    Cast Mounting Dread (E), then land three autos on the same target: the third sends Wolf, who strikes based on their missing health.

  4. Save your team with your R

    Cast Lamb's Respite (R) to save your team or deny an objective: nothing inside the zone can die, allies, enemies and monsters alike.

Playing against Wukong

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his W

    Trade after Warrior Trickster (W): it's his best escape, and it has a 22 to 18 second cooldown.

  2. Ignore the still clone

    When Warrior Trickster (W) turns him invisible, ignore the figure standing still: that's the clone, and the real Wukong just dashed off to the side.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    When he has Cyclone (R), spread out from your allies: he spins in the middle of your team and knocks every nearby enemy into the air, twice.

  4. Escape after his second Cyclone

    If you have a way to escape, wait for his second Cyclone (R) to end: the spell can be recast once, and each spin knocks nearby enemies into the air again.
