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
  Marca Familiar

  Os Kindred marcam alvos para Caçar. Concluir uma Caçada fortalece permanentemente as habilidades básicas deles. A cada 4 caçadas concluídas, o Alcance de Ataque também aumenta.

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

• Q
  Dança de Flechas

  Os Kindred rolam e disparam até três flechas em alvos próximos.

  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
  Frenesi do Lobo

  O Lobo se enraivece e ataca inimigos à sua volta. A Ovelha ganha acúmulos passivamente ao se mover e atacar. Quando totalmente carregado, o próximo ataque da Ovelha recupera Vida.

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

• E
  Pesar Crescente

  A Ovelha faz um disparo cuidadoso, reduzindo a velocidade de seu alvo. Se a Ovelha atacar o alvo mais duas vezes, seu próximo ataque fará com que o Lobo salte no inimigo, golpeando-o e causando muito dano.

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

• R
  Refúgio da Ovelha

  A Ovelha concede refúgio contra a morte para todos os seres vivos em uma área. Até que seu efeito acabe, nada pode morrer. No fim de sua duração, as unidades são curadas.

  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.
