Scuttle Contest

  • You lose scuttle fights at level 3 as you lack damage and mobility to contest Kindred's range and Q mobility.
  • From level 6, you win any 1v1 where you can land R - the key is getting close enough without taking too much poke damage first.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • Kindred will likely start on the opposite side of the map from you and look to invade your jungle early.
  • They'll prioritize marking camps in your jungle and will path aggressively to contest your farm and marks.

Invade or Not

  • No, avoid invading Kindred's jungle as they have superior mobility, range, and early dueling power.
  • Focus on efficient farming and reaching level 6 safely rather than risking early confrontations you're likely to lose.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your R on Kindred if they have their own R available - wait for it to be down or coordinate with teammates for follow-up damage.
  • Avoid extended trades in open areas where they can kite you endlessly with Q resets and auto-attack range advantage.
