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
킨드레드의 표식킨드레드는 사냥감에게 표식을 남길 수 있습니다. 사냥에 성공하면 영구적으로 킨드레드의 기본 스킬이 강화됩니다. 사냥에 4회 성공하면 킨드레드의 기본 공격 사거리가 증가합니다.
Strong: hunted marks permanently stack range and damage — infinite scaling. Weak: marks are announced — play safe while marked and deny the stack.
Q
화살 세례킨드레드가 구르며 근처의 대상들에게 최대 세 발의 화살을 발사합니다.
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
늑대의 광기늑대가 분노하여 주변의 적들을 공격합니다. 양이 기본 지속 효과로 움직이고 공격하여 중첩을 얻습니다. 완전히 충전되면 양이 다음 번 공격할 때 체력을 회복합니다.
Strong: Wolf attacks on his own while she kites free. Weak: a fixed zone — step out of it and Wolf stops biting.
E
차오르는 공포양이 신중하게 화살을 발사해 대상의 속도를 늦춥니다. 양이 대상을 두 번 더 공격하면 세 번째 공격 시 늑대가 적을 덮치게 만들어, 흉포한 공격으로 큰 피해를 입힙니다.
Strong: a % missing-HP execute on the third hit. Weak: needs three attacks on you — disengage at two stacks.
R
양의 안식처양은 안식처 영역 안에 있는 모든 생명체를 죽음으로부터 지켜줍니다. 효과가 끝날 때까지는 아무도 죽지 않습니다. 효과가 끝나면 유닛들이 치유됩니다.
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.
