Respect
- !Level 6 Power Spike→Once she hits 6, makes her invisible. Standard stealth wards will no longer see her unless she is directly on top of them.
- !Shred→The Magic Resist reduction is massive. Even as a tank, if you are charmed by , her and will likely melt you.
- !Execute Range→If you see a small glowing indicator on your character, you are in execute range for . She will kill you through shields and most heals.
- !Stealth Flanks→She rarely walks through lane. She will use to get behind you in jungle corridors or behind your tower.
Punish
- +Pre-Level 6→She has zero stealth and weak dueling. Invade her at her second buff or contest her at Scuttle Crab to delay her level 6 as long as possible.
- +is on cooldown (15-11s)→Without her charm, she lacks CC and the Magic Resist shred. This is your best time to turn on her or dive her in the jungle.
- +is down (120-80s)→She loses her only safety net. Without , she cannot go untargetable or blink away, making her an easy, squishy target if caught.
- +She misses the initial dart→The mark is where her damage comes from. If she misses the first part of , her kill pressure drops by nearly 40%.
Laning Tips
- •Ward her actual jungle camps (Raptors/Krugs) rather than river bushes. You can see her when she attacks them even if is active.
- •Always keep a Control Ward in a defensive bush. It is the only way to see her through camouflage.
- •When you see the heart, walk toward your nearest tower or ally; do not run blindly into unwarded jungle.
- •The arrow on the indicator shows you exactly which direction she is coming from. Aim your skillshots that way.
- •Buy early Magic Resist. An early Negatron Cloak or even just Null-Magic Mantle can prevent her from one-shotting you.
- •Do not stay in lane with less than 40% HP. She will dive you with and escape without taking a single tower hit.
Teamfight Warning
- âš Buy a Sweeping Lens. Even if it doesn't reveal her fully, it shows her 'shadow' outline so you can hit her with CC.
- âš Banshee's Veil and Edge of Night are her biggest nightmares because they block the charm proc.
- âš Stay grouped. Evelynn is a single-target assassin; she cannot safely kill someone if three people are standing on top of them.
- âš Save your hard CC for the moment she reveals herself with . If you don't burst her, she will out.
- ⚠Keep track of her direction. She always blinks backwards relative to where she is facing—expect her to land over walls.
