Evelynn Build 26.22

A

Evelynn spends the early game as a low-key nuisance, then becomes a ghost the moment she hits level six and her camouflage switches on. She walks unseen into the back of a lane and charms her target with the W curse before anyone realizes she is there. Sitting A comfortable pick at 51.3% and trending up this patch, she is entirely defined by that stealth and the pick it sets up. Blow the full combo, and her ult executes whatever is left low while yanking her safely back out of range.

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.

Build toward Lich Bane into Rabadon's Deathcap so her charm combo converts into an actual kill instead of a scare. The power is up front, so snowball while the lead is fresh. With Rabadon's Deathcap online by roughly 23 minutes, a full curse-into-combo rotation deletes any squishy she catches alone, and her ult guarantees the finish. Play for tempo and the odd pick until that item lands, then start hunting isolated targets across the map.

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 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.

Be careful against Rengar, Sejuani, and Rek'Sai, champions with reliable ways to reveal her stealth or lock her down before she can reposition out. Losing her escape turns a pick attempt into her own death. Into Zed, Xin Zhao, and Elise she is oppressive, sneaking up and removing them from a fight before they can react, so track those squishy targets and build your whole game around catching them out of position.
