Best Kindred Build & Guide (2026) — League of Legends

Kindred is League of Legends' Eternal Hunters — a duo of Lamb and Wolf who stalk the jungle as a ranged marksman, collecting marks on enemy champions and jungle camps to permanently increase their attack range and ability damage. Kindred's identity revolves around the Mark of the Kindred passive, which lets them hunt specific targets across the map, and each collected mark permanently scales their basic attacks and abilities, turning Kindred into a late-game hypercarry who operates from the jungle role. What makes Kindred unique among junglers is their ranged auto-attack pattern, which allows them to kite camps and enemies more effectively than any melee jungler, and their ultimate Lamb's Respite, which creates a zone where nothing can die — ally or enemy — forcing both teams to play around one of the most powerful and complex abilities in the game. Whether you're a jungle main looking for a scaling marksman who rewards mechanical skill and map awareness, or a player who enjoys the fantasy of an inevitable, ever-growing hunter, this guide covers everything you need to dominate with Kindred in 2026.

Kindred Overview

Kindred operates as a ranged marksman jungler and scaling hunter whose power grows permanently through Mark of the Kindred stacks. At zero marks, Kindred is a functional but unremarkable ranged jungler — but with each stack collected, their auto-attack range increases at key breakpoints (4, 7, 10, 13+ marks), and Dance of Arrows, Wolf's Frenzy, and Mounting Dread all gain bonus damage or scaling. This stacking mechanic means Kindred has a unique win condition among junglers — they must actively hunt marks throughout the game, balancing farming, ganking, and mark collection to reach their scaling breakpoints before the enemy team can shut them down. A Kindred with 7+ marks in the mid game becomes one of the most dangerous champions on the map, with the attack range of a mid-range marksman and the damage to shred tanks and squishies alike.

Mark of the Kindred (Passive) is Kindred's defining mechanic. Lamb can mark an enemy champion for the hunt, and Wolf periodically marks enemy jungle camps. Killing a marked champion or taking a marked jungle camp grants a permanent stack that increases Kindred's basic attack range at 4, 7, 10, and 13 marks, and adds bonus current-health damage to their auto-attacks and abilities. Champion marks can only be placed every few seconds and are visible to the marked target, adding a mind-game element — the marked enemy knows Kindred wants to kill them, but avoiding the hunt means ceding map pressure. Jungle marks appear on camps in the enemy jungle at higher stack counts, forcing Kindred to invade to continue scaling.

Dance of Arrows (Q) is Kindred's primary mobility and damage ability. Lamb dashes in the target direction and fires up to three arrows at nearby enemies, dealing physical damage. Dance of Arrows has a very short cooldown when cast inside Wolf's Frenzy zone, allowing Kindred to dash repeatedly during fights. The dash is Kindred's only mobility tool and is critical for kiting melee champions, dodging skillshots, and repositioning during teamfights. Each arrow applies on-hit effects, meaning attack speed and on-hit items amplify Q's damage significantly.

Wolf's Frenzy (W) is Kindred's zone-control and sustained damage ability. Lamb commands Wolf to maul enemies in a target area for several seconds, dealing magic damage to the nearest enemy within the zone. While inside the Wolf's Frenzy zone, Dance of Arrows' cooldown is dramatically reduced, allowing Kindred to dash every few seconds. Wolf's Frenzy also has a passive component — Lamb's auto-attacks and abilities build stacks of Hunter's Vigor, and when fully stacked, Kindred's next auto-attack heals them based on missing health, providing sustain during jungle clears and skirmishes.

Mounting Dread (E) is Kindred's execute and slow ability. Lamb fires a crippling shot at an enemy, slowing them and marking them with dread. After Lamb auto-attacks the marked target twice more, the third attack deals bonus percent-health damage that can critically strike, making it a devastating execute against low-health targets and a tank-shredding tool. Mounting Dread's slow helps Kindred chase down fleeing enemies, and the percent-health damage means it scales against all target types regardless of their maximum health, giving Kindred consistent kill pressure against both squishies and tanks.

Lamb's Respite (R) is Kindred's ultimate — one of the most unique and impactful abilities in League of Legends. Lamb creates a zone at their current location where nothing can die. All units inside the zone — ally and enemy alike — cannot have their health reduced below a threshold for the duration. When the zone expires, all units inside are healed. Lamb's Respite is a fight-defining ability that can save Kindred's entire team from otherwise lethal burst damage, deny enemy executes, buy time for cooldowns to reset, and turn lost fights into victories. However, the zone also protects enemies, meaning poor Lamb's Respite timing can save the enemy carry or prevent Kindred's team from securing kills, making it one of the highest skill-ceiling ultimates in the game.

Strengths

• Kindred is the only true ranged marksman jungler in the game, and their auto-attack based damage pattern with Dance of Arrows mobility allows them to kite melee junglers, clear camps without taking damage once they master spacing, and provide sustained DPS in teamfights that no other jungler can match — Kindred's ranged advantage means they can attack enemies while repositioning with Q, dealing continuous damage without committing to melee range, and this kiting pattern is especially devastating against immobile melee champions who cannot close the gap
• Mark of the Kindred's permanent scaling gives Kindred a unique late-game hypercarry potential among junglers because each mark permanently increases attack range and on-hit damage, meaning a Kindred with 7+ marks has the effective range and damage output of a bot lane ADC while also having the jungle economy and map presence of a jungler — Unlike other junglers who fall off in the late game, a well-stacked Kindred becomes the primary carry threat, with the range to safely auto-attack in teamfights and the percent-health damage to shred tanks and squishies alike
• Lamb's Respite is one of the most powerful teamfight ultimates in the game because it unconditionally prevents death for all allies inside the zone, countering burst damage compositions, dive compositions, and assassination attempts, and the heal on expiration can swing fights by restoring the health of an entire team that was on the brink of death — A well-timed Lamb's Respite can negate Karthus's Requiem, survive a Malphite-Yasuo wombo combo, or give Kindred's team time for cooldowns to reset while the enemy team has already committed their abilities
• Kindred's jungle clear speed with Dance of Arrows and Wolf's Frenzy is fast and healthy because Q fires multiple arrows that apply on-hit effects, W's passive heals Kindred on auto-attacks, and the reduced Q cooldown inside W's zone allows Kindred to dash between camps and kite large monsters without taking damage — This efficient clearing lets Kindred path aggressively to contest marks, invade the enemy jungle, and maintain farm parity even while prioritizing ganks and mark collection

Weaknesses

• Kindred's mark system reveals their hunting targets to the enemy team, meaning the marked champion and their team always know where Kindred wants to go, and jungle camp marks at higher stacks spawn in the enemy jungle, forcing Kindred into dangerous invades that can be collapsed on by the enemy team — The visibility of marks means enemies can bait Kindred into traps by hovering near marked camps, and the jungler who is marked knows to play safely and respect Kindred's gank pressure, reducing the surprise element
• Kindred is extremely squishy as a ranged marksman with no innate defensive stats, and if they are caught by crowd control without Dance of Arrows available, they die as quickly as a bot lane ADC — meaning any targeted stun, root, or knockup during a teamfight can instantly remove Kindred from the fight before they deal meaningful damage — Unlike bruiser junglers who can absorb damage and fight through crowd control, Kindred must constantly kite and reposition, and a single misstep puts them in lethal range of assassins and divers
• Kindred is heavily dependent on collecting marks to reach their scaling breakpoints, and a Kindred who falls behind on marks becomes a mediocre jungler without the range or damage to compete with other carries — if the enemy team denies marks through counter-jungling, vision control, or killing Kindred during invades, their scaling is permanently stunted — A Kindred with only 2-3 marks at 20 minutes lacks the range to safely teamfight and lacks the damage to duel other junglers, creating a negative spiral where they cannot collect marks because they are too weak to contest them
• Lamb's Respite protects both allies and enemies, meaning a poorly timed ultimate can save the enemy carry from death, prevent Kindred's team from finishing kills, or give the enemy team time to wait out the zone and then burst Kindred's allies after it expires — the ultimate requires perfect timing and positioning that is difficult to execute under pressure — The zone is stationary and centered on Kindred, meaning enemies can simply walk out and re-engage after it ends, and the heal on expiration benefits enemies inside the zone equally, making it a double-edged ability that punishes mistakes as harshly as it rewards perfect play

Recommended Runes

Primary — Press the Attack (Precision)

• Press the Attack — After hitting an enemy champion with three consecutive basic attacks, Press the Attack exposes the target, dealing bonus adaptive damage and causing them to take increased damage from all sources for several seconds. Press the Attack is Kindred's optimal keystone because their auto-attack based damage pattern naturally procs it during every trade and all-in — Dance of Arrows arrows count as basic attacks for proc purposes, meaning Kindred can activate Press the Attack rapidly. The exposure debuff amplifies all of Kindred's subsequent damage including Mounting Dread's percent-health execute, Wolf's Frenzy, and allied damage, making it the highest damage keystone for Kindred's sustained combat pattern.
• Triumph — Restores health and grants bonus gold on champion takedowns. Triumph is essential for Kindred because teamfights often leave them at dangerously low health after Lamb's Respite expires, and the heal on takedown can be the difference between surviving to continue dealing damage and dying immediately after the ultimate ends. The bonus gold accelerates Kindred's item spikes, which are critical for a scaling marksman jungler who needs attack speed and crit items to reach their power spikes.
• Legend: Alacrity — Permanently increases attack speed for each legend stack earned through champion takedowns, epic monster kills, and large monster kills. Legend: Alacrity provides the attack speed scaling that Kindred needs to maximize their DPS — faster auto-attacks mean more Dance of Arrows procs, faster Mounting Dread execution, and higher sustained damage in extended fights. As a jungler who constantly kills large monsters, Kindred stacks Legend: Alacrity faster than laners.
• Coup de Grace — Deals bonus damage to enemies below 40% health. Coup de Grace synergizes directly with Mounting Dread's percent-health execute damage — when the target is already low, Mounting Dread's third hit combined with Coup de Grace's bonus damage creates a devastating execute that kills targets who believe they are safe at low health. Kindred's sustained DPS pattern naturally brings enemies into Coup de Grace range, and the bonus execute damage helps secure kills that would otherwise require one more auto-attack.

Secondary — Domination

• Eyeball Collection — Grants permanent adaptive force for each unique champion takedown, stacking up to a significant bonus at full stacks. Eyeball Collection provides scaling attack damage that amplifies Kindred's auto-attack damage and ability damage throughout the game. Each mark collected from a champion kill also contributes to Eyeball Collection stacks, meaning Kindred's hunt mechanic naturally fuels this rune's scaling.
• Treasure Hunter — Grants bonus gold on unique champion takedowns. Treasure Hunter accelerates Kindred's expensive itemization because marksman items like Kraken Slayer and Infinity Edge require significant gold investment. The bonus gold from ganks and mark collection helps Kindred complete core items faster, reaching their critical damage breakpoints before the enemy team can shut them down.

Recommended Item Build

Based on data from over 14,000 ranked Kindred matches tracked on dodge.gg, here's the highest winrate build path.

Early Game (0–10 min)

• Gustwalker Hatchling — Kindred's optimal jungle pet that evolves into Gustwalker, granting bonus movement speed when entering brush. Gustwalker is ideal for Kindred because the brush movement speed helps them roam the map efficiently to collect marks, invade enemy jungle camps, and reach gank positions quickly. The movement speed also aids Kindred's kiting pattern — ducking into brush between auto-attacks to gain speed and reposition.
• Health Potion — Restores health over time when consumed. Two Health Potions sustain Kindred through their first jungle clear. While Kindred's ranged kiting makes their clear relatively healthy, potions ensure they have enough health to contest the first scuttle crab or take an early gank opportunity with enough health to fight.

Core Build (10–20 min)

• Kraken Slayer — Grants attack damage, attack speed, and critical strike chance, with a passive that empowers every third auto-attack to deal bonus true damage. Kraken Slayer is Kindred's premier first item because the true damage passive synergizes perfectly with their rapid auto-attack pattern — Dance of Arrows arrows proc Kraken Slayer stacks, meaning Kindred activates the true damage passive multiple times in every fight. The true damage ignores armor, giving Kindred the ability to shred tanks who stack armor while still bursting squishies. The combination of attack speed, crit, and true damage amplifies Kindred's Mark of the Kindred on-hit damage and makes every auto-attack a threat.
• Berserker's Greaves — Grants attack speed and movement speed. Berserker's Greaves are the standard boots for Kindred because attack speed is their most important stat — faster attacks mean faster Mounting Dread procs, faster Press the Attack activation, and higher sustained DPS in every fight. The movement speed helps Kindred kite and chase, and the attack speed from boots stacks multiplicatively with Legend: Alacrity and Kraken Slayer's attack speed to reach a smooth auto-attack cadence.
• Phantom Dancer — Grants attack speed, critical strike chance, and movement speed, with a passive that grants ramping attack speed and ghosting on auto-attacks. Phantom Dancer provides the attack speed scaling and mobility that Kindred needs to become a teamfight threat. The ghosting passive prevents Kindred from being body-blocked by enemy champions during kiting, and the ramping attack speed makes Kindred increasingly dangerous the longer a fight continues. Combined with Kraken Slayer, Phantom Dancer gives Kindred the crit chance needed to start dealing devastating critical strikes with Mounting Dread's third hit.

Late Game (25+ min)

• Infinity Edge — Grants attack damage and critical strike chance, with a passive that amplifies critical strike damage. Infinity Edge is Kindred's biggest single-item power spike because it transforms every critical strike into a devastating hit. With Kraken Slayer and Phantom Dancer providing 40% crit chance, Infinity Edge pushes Kindred to 60% crit and amplifies each crit's damage multiplier. Mounting Dread's third hit can critically strike, meaning an Infinity Edge-empowered E execute combined with Press the Attack's exposure deals massive damage to any target regardless of their health pool.
• Bloodthirster — Grants attack damage, critical strike chance, and lifesteal, with a passive that grants a shield when over-healing. Bloodthirster provides the sustain Kindred needs to survive in late-game teamfights — the lifesteal heals Kindred with every auto-attack, and the overheal shield provides a buffer against burst damage. The critical strike chance pushes Kindred to 80%, making most auto-attacks crits, and the raw AD amplifies all of Kindred's abilities and auto-attacks. The overheal shield is especially valuable after Lamb's Respite expires — Kindred can lifesteal back to full health and build a shield before the next fight.
• Guardian Angel — Grants attack damage and armor, with a passive that revives the champion on death. Guardian Angel is Kindred's insurance policy for late-game teamfights where a single death can lose the game. If Kindred is caught by crowd control and dies despite Lamb's Respite, Guardian Angel revives them for a second chance to deal damage. The armor helps against AD assassins and bruisers who dive Kindred, and the revive passive forces enemies to commit additional resources to kill Kindred twice.

Ability Priority

1. Dance of Arrows (Q) — Max first. Each rank increases Q's damage per arrow, reduces its base cooldown, and improves the bonus attack speed granted after dashing. Q max first is essential because Dance of Arrows is Kindred's most-used ability — it provides damage, mobility, and attack speed in one ability, and the reduced cooldown means Kindred can dash more frequently during fights and jungle clears. Higher Q ranks dramatically improve clear speed because each camp takes fewer rotations to kill.
2. Mounting Dread (E) — Max second. Each rank increases E's slow, base damage, and percent-health execute damage on the third hit. E max second provides the best scaling damage because the percent-health execute becomes increasingly powerful as games progress and enemies have more health. The stronger slow at higher ranks makes it harder for enemies to escape Kindred's pursuit, and the increased execute damage makes Mounting Dread a reliable finishing tool against all target types.
3. Wolf's Frenzy (W) — Max last. W provides its most important benefit at rank 1 — the reduced Q cooldown zone and the healing passive. Additional ranks increase Wolf's damage and the zone's duration, but these are less impactful than Q's per-arrow damage increase and E's scaling execute. W at rank 1 already enables Kindred's core kiting pattern, and the damage increase per rank is modest compared to Q and E.
4. Lamb's Respite (R) — Level when available at 6, 11, and 16. Each rank of R reduces the cooldown and increases the minimum health threshold in the zone, meaning allies survive at higher health when the zone expires. Level 6 Lamb's Respite is a major power spike that transforms Kindred's ability to survive dives and turn fights, and the cooldown reduction at levels 11 and 16 means Kindred has their ultimate available more frequently for critical objectives and teamfights.

Playstyle Tips

Early Game / Jungle Clear

Kindred's early game is about clearing efficiently, collecting early marks through ganks and scuttle crab contests, and establishing a mark lead before the enemy team can organize to deny them.

Start Q at level 1 for the fastest camp clear with kiting. Kindred's first clear should prioritize a path toward the scuttle crab that Wolf marks or a lane where the marked champion is vulnerable. A standard path is Red Brambleback to Raptors to Krugs on red side, or Blue Sentinel to Gromp to Wolves on blue side, then moving to scuttle crab at 3:30. Use Dance of Arrows to kite camps by dashing over walls and repositioning between auto-attacks — Kindred should take minimal damage during their clear by maintaining spacing between themselves and melee monsters.

Mark the enemy champion you are most likely to kill before the game begins. At level 1, mark the enemy jungler if you plan to invade or the enemy laner you intend to gank first. If you secure the mark, immediately place your next mark on a new target — the cooldown between marks is significant, so every second without a mark placed is a second of lost potential.

Contest scuttle crab aggressively. Kindred's ranged advantage and Dance of Arrows mobility make them a strong scuttle crab fighter against most melee junglers. If Wolf marks the scuttle crab, prioritize taking it — the mark stack plus scuttle gold and vision is a significant early-game swing.

Mid Game

Mid-game Kindred with 4+ marks and Kraken Slayer is a scaling marksman who must continue collecting marks through ganks and invades while transitioning from a ganking jungler to a teamfight carry who provides sustained DPS and Lamb's Respite for objective fights.

After completing Kraken Slayer, your auto-attack damage increases substantially. With 4 marks, Kindred gains their first bonus attack range breakpoint, making kiting easier and auto-attacks safer. Focus on ganking the currently marked champion — even if the gank does not result in a kill, burning summoner spells on the marked target makes them easier to kill on the next gank attempt.

At 4+ marks, Wolf begins marking camps in the enemy jungle. These invade marks are riskier to collect but essential for continued scaling. Before invading for a mark, ensure you have vision of the enemy jungler on the opposite side of the map. If the mark is on a camp near an enemy lane that has priority, skip it and wait for the next mark to spawn on a safer camp. Dying for a single mark is never worth it — the death timer and lost farm cost more than the mark provides.

Lamb's Respite is your trump card for objective fights. When contesting dragon or Rift Herald, use Lamb's Respite to survive the enemy team's burst during a smite fight. The zone prevents anyone from dying, giving your team time to outsmite the objective and survive the enemy team's engage. Communicate with your team before using Lamb's Respite — allies who do not expect the zone may Flash out instead of staying inside.

Late Game

Late-game Kindred with 7+ marks and a full crit build is a hypercarry marksman who plays teamfights like a bot lane ADC, dealing sustained critical strike damage from extended range while using Dance of Arrows to kite, Lamb's Respite to survive burst, and Mounting Dread to execute high-health targets.

In late-game teamfights, Kindred's role shifts from assassin-style ganking to sustained DPS carry. Position behind your frontline and auto-attack the nearest safe target — do not tunnel onto the enemy backline. With 7+ marks, Kindred's attack range is long enough to safely auto-attack from behind their frontline, and the percent-health damage from marks shreds tanks who stand in the front. Use Dance of Arrows to reposition when enemies try to reach you, and save Mounting Dread for targets you need to execute or slow.

Lamb's Respite timing is the difference between winning and losing late-game teamfights. The ideal Lamb's Respite is cast when your team is about to die but the enemy team has committed their cooldowns — the zone prevents your allies from dying, and when it expires, your team has abilities back while the enemy team does not. Do not cast Lamb's Respite preemptively — wait until your team is actually in danger. Casting it too early means the enemy team simply waits for it to expire and then engages again.

In the late game, Kindred's mark scaling means they outscale most junglers. A Kindred with 10+ marks has the attack range and damage output to stand toe-to-toe with any bot lane ADC, while also having the jungle economy and Lamb's Respite ultimate that no ADC possesses. If you have reached this point in the game, play around your team and fight front-to-back — you are the primary win condition and your survival matters more than any individual outplay.

Matchups

Favorable

• Sejuani — Sejuani is a tank jungler with slow clears and limited early-game agency who cannot contest Kindred's marks or match their clear speed. Kindred's ranged auto-attacks allow them to kite Sejuani indefinitely — Sejuani's engage requires reaching melee range, but Dance of Arrows keeps Kindred at a safe distance while dealing consistent damage. Kindred can invade Sejuani's jungle freely because Sejuani cannot duel a ranged champion who kites effectively, and the mark stacks Kindred collects from free invades accelerate their scaling. In teamfights, Kindred's percent-health damage from marks shreds Sejuani's health pool regardless of how much armor she builds.
• Amumu — Amumu is a tank jungler with a weak early clear and a reliance on landing Bandage Toss to engage. Kindred can invade Amumu at his camps early and kill him before he reaches level 6 because Amumu has no escape and his pre-6 damage cannot match Kindred's auto-attack DPS. Dance of Arrows dodges Bandage Toss, and if Amumu misses his Q, he has no way to reach Kindred. In the late game, Kindred's Lamb's Respite directly counters Amumu's Curse of the Sad Mummy by preventing the burst damage that follows his teamfight engage.
• Karthus — Karthus is an immobile mage jungler who farms for late-game scaling and has no mobility spells. Kindred can invade Karthus at any camp and kill him with auto-attack DPS before Karthus's Lay Waste can trade effectively. Dance of Arrows dodges Lay Waste, and Kindred's sustained damage overwhelms Karthus in a 1v1. Lamb's Respite directly counters Karthus's Requiem — when Karthus presses R, Kindred can simply ult to prevent any ally from dying to the global damage, negating one of Karthus's primary strengths.

Even

• Lee Sin — Lee Sin is a mobile bruiser jungler who can match Kindred's early-game skirmishing with his own strong dueling and mobility. Lee Sin's Safeguard dash and Dragon's Rage kick allow him to reposition or disengage from Kindred's kiting pattern, and his burst combo can kill Kindred before Dance of Arrows can create distance. The matchup depends on spacing — Kindred wins extended fights where they can kite and proc Press the Attack and Mounting Dread, while Lee Sin wins short trades where he lands Sonic Wave into Resonating Strike and bursts Kindred before they can respond. Both junglers have strong early invade pressure, and the outcome depends on who controls the fight's tempo.
• Vi — Vi is a bruiser jungler with strong single-target lockdown through Vault Breaker and Assault and Battery. Vi's ultimate is point-and-click, meaning Kindred cannot dodge it with Dance of Arrows, and the suppression prevents Kindred from kiting during the lockdown. However, Kindred's Lamb's Respite can be cast during Vi's engage to survive the burst, and in extended fights after Vi's cooldowns are spent, Kindred's sustained DPS outpaces Vi's damage. The matchup is volatile — Vi wins when she catches Kindred alone and bursts before Lamb's Respite, while Kindred wins when they have time to kite and teammates nearby to support after Vi commits.
• Graves — Graves is a ranged bruiser jungler who builds lethality or crit and has natural tankiness from True Grit armor stacking. Graves and Kindred are both ranged junglers who want to farm and scale, creating a mirror-like matchup where both champions contest marks and camps. Graves's burst damage from Buckshot and Collateral Damage can kill Kindred quickly if he closes the distance, but Kindred's sustained DPS with Press the Attack and Mounting Dread outpaces Graves in extended fights. The matchup often comes down to who controls vision and mark collection — the jungler who secures more marks or camps early gains the scaling advantage.

Unfavorable

• Kha'Zix — Kha'Zix is an assassin jungler whose isolation damage is devastating against Kindred because junglers are always isolated at their camps. Kindred's squishy health pool means Taste Their Fear's isolation bonus can kill them in two rotations, and Kha'Zix's Leap closes the distance that Dance of Arrows creates, negating Kindred's kiting advantage. In jungle invades, Kha'Zix wins the 1v1 because isolation is guaranteed and his burst damage exceeds Kindred's sustained DPS in the short trade window. Kindred's Lamb's Respite can delay death, but Kha'Zix can wait inside the zone and finish Kindred when it expires.
• Rengar — Rengar is an assassin jungler who leaps from brush to instantly close the gap on Kindred, negating their ranged advantage entirely. Rengar's Savagery burst combined with empowered abilities can kill Kindred before Dance of Arrows provides meaningful repositioning, and his Thrill of the Hunt ultimate grants stealth with a guaranteed leap onto Kindred from long range. Kindred cannot prevent Rengar from reaching them, and once Rengar is in melee range, Kindred's kiting is nullified by the burst damage. Lamb's Respite can save Kindred from the initial burst, but Rengar can simply wait and leap again when the zone expires.
• Elise — Elise is an early-game aggressive jungler whose Cocoon stun interrupts Kindred's kiting pattern and whose burst damage kills Kindred before they can proc Press the Attack and Mounting Dread. Elise's Cocoon is a long-range stun that roots Kindred in place, and her Rappel untargetability allows her to dodge Kindred's Mounting Dread execute entirely. In early invades, Elise's level 3 burst with Neurotoxin, Venomous Bite, and Volatile Spiderling exceeds Kindred's auto-attack DPS, and Cocoon prevents Kindred from kiting during the critical first seconds. Elise's early-game dominance can deny Kindred's marks and set them behind on their scaling curve.
