Champion Tips
Riot officialPlaying 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.
