When Is Evelynn Strongest?
The front half of the game is the strong stretch, and games at this rank average around 29 minutes. Evelynn's win condition is the stealth pick, so use the power spike to hunt isolated targets, delete a carry before a fight even starts, and let her camouflage turn every lane and objective into an ambush.
Evelynn Item Build
Evelynn is an ability power assassin who stalks the map unseen after level six, so the build stacks ability power and magic penetration to make her charm-into-burst rotation delete a squishy in one go. The items exist to guarantee that when she comes out of stealth, the target is already dead.
Best Evelynn Runes
Electrocute is the obvious keystone for her. The charm locks a target in place while her Q lashes and her empowered strike land in quick succession, setting the rune off almost instantly for a chunk of bonus burst. That extra damage is often the gap between a target clinging on at a sliver and dying on the spot.

Evelynn Skill Order
Hate Spike reaches rank five at level 9, and because it fires again as a line of spikes after the opening lash, one rank raises both halves of that cast, with Whiplash slipping in at 8 and 10.
Evelynn Abilities
Between ganks Demon Shade quietly heals her back up when her health dips, so she rarely has to recall. Hate Spike is the actual damage engine, a lash that then rains extra spikes on nearby targets, and Whiplash hands her the move speed to run a kill down.
Evelynn Base Stats
Evelynn Matchups
Evelynn needs to catch an isolated, low-resist target, so grouped teams with a peeling frontline and enemies who buy early magic resist blunt her whole game plan. Overextended carries and split-up compositions that let her pick someone off from stealth are what her kit hunts.
