Kindred is a Marksman that deals physical (AD) damage and brings slow. With little hard CC to play around, prioritize raw defensive stats over tenacity. Below is Kindred's highest-win-rate build from high-elo games; open the counter-build tool to tune it against your specific enemy team.

ABILITIES

Mark of the Kindred
PassiveMark of the Kindred

Kindred can mark targets to Hunt. Successfully completing a Hunt permanently empowers Kindred's basic abilities. Every 4 hunts completed also increases Kindred's basic attack range.

Dance of Arrows
QDance of Arrows

Kindred tumbles and shoots up to three arrows at nearby targets.

Wolf's Frenzy
WWolf's Frenzy

Wolf enrages and attacks enemies around him. Lamb passively gains stacks by moving and attacking. When fully charged, Lamb's next attack restores health.

Mounting Dread
EMounting Dread

Lamb fires a carefully placed shot, slowing the target. If Lamb attacks the target two more times, her third attack instead directs Wolf to pounce on the enemy, savaging them for massive damage.

Lamb's Respite
RLamb's Respite

Lamb grants all living things inside a zone a respite from death. Until the effect ends, nothing can die. At the end, units are healed.

PLAYING ASKindred
  • Moving around between attacks while jungling will help you avoid damage and also generate more heals from Wolf's Frenzy.
  • Pick which Hunts you want to pursue carefully; getting many of them is the key to success as the game goes on.
  • Don't go in first to a large team fight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.
PLAYING AGAINSTKindred
  • Kindred is fragile - turn the pressure up on her, and she will be forced to play cautiously.
  • Clear the Hunts Wolf activates on jungle camps to slow down Kindred's damage output.
  • When Kindred uses Lamb's Respite get inside, it stops all champions from dying.
