How to beat Kindred

Common role: Jungle

A marksman jungler who hunts marks and denies death itself.

What makes Kindred dangerous

Kindred hunts marked targets and camps to permanently stack range and damage, kites with rolling Q resets, and their ultimate creates a zone where NO ONE can die — friend or foe — healing everyone at its end. Well-stacked Kindred out-duels and out-kites everything.

How to play against Kindred

• 1Deny marks: when your camp or you are marked, play safe — every mark is permanent power.
• 2Fight inside their ult: burst enemies right as it ends, or walk out to finish targets.
• 3Gap-close: Kindred is squishy and folds to sticky divers.
• 4Invade when marks spawn on your side to burn their timers.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Squishy — a caught Kindred without kite room dies fast.
• ✓Mark-dependent scaling: denied marks = weak Kindred.
• ✓The ult saves your targets too — badly timed it wins fights for you.
• ✓Weak objective damage compared to smite junglers.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Kindred's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Marque de Kindred

  Kindred peut marquer des cibles à chasser. Chaque chasse fructueuse renforce définitivement les compétences de base de Kindred. Toutes les 4 chasses menées à bien, la portée des attaques de base de Kindred augmente également.

  Strong: hunted marks permanently stack range and damage — infinite scaling. Weak: marks are announced — play safe while marked and deny the stack.

• Q
  Danse des flèches

  Kindred fait une cabriole et tire sur un maximum de trois cibles proches.

  Strong: a rolling reset that makes her untouchable while kiting. Weak: rolls drain quickly in long chases — force her to burn them, then lock her.

• W
  Frénésie de Loup

  Loup enrage et attaque les ennemis proches de lui. Agneau cumule passivement des effets en se déplaçant et en attaquant. Au maximum d'effets cumulés, la prochaine attaque d'Agneau lui rend des PV.

  Strong: Wolf attacks on his own while she kites free. Weak: a fixed zone — step out of it and Wolf stops biting.

• E
  Terreur mortelle

  Agneau effectue un tir précis, ralentissant la cible. Si Agneau attaque la cible deux fois de plus, sa troisième attaque envoie Loup sur la cible pour lui infliger d'énormes dégâts.

  Strong: a % missing-HP execute on the third hit. Weak: needs three attacks on you — disengage at two stacks.

• R
  Repos d'Agneau

  Agneau offre à toutes les créatures vivantes dans une zone un refuge contre la mort. Jusqu'à la fin de l'effet, personne ne peut y mourir. Les unités sont ensuite soignées.

  Strong: NO ONE dies inside the zone; everyone heals at the end. Weak: it protects YOUR team too — dive in, hold burst for the exact expiry second.

Itemization

Sticky divers and lockdown beat the kite. Contest marks on your side; hold burst for the second the ult zone expires.
