Champion Tips

Riot official

Playing as

  • While stealthed, pay attention to when you are (near) being detected by enemy champions. This is identified by the glowing yellow and red eyes over nearby enemy champions.
  • Try to use Dark Frenzy after your opponents have used up their slows.
  • Evelynn can be built focusing on either Attack Damage which provides more sustained damage or Ability Power which provides more burst damage. A balance of both may be ideal.

Playing against

  • Purchasing Vision Wards can help you detect Evelynn's location in order to prepare for her ambushes.
  • Evelynn is vulnerable to slows once she uses her Movement Speed boost Dark Frenzy.
  • If you suspect Evelynn is about to ambush one of your teammates, let them know by pinging the minimap and typing in chat.
