How to play

General

  1. You start with Guardian's Horn. Your #1 rush should be item that counters enemy team most (MR or Armor item). Get Jak'Sho as #2 item. Then adapt.
  2. Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
  3. Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
  4. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  5. Be careful to not waste Aftershock. Try timing it and keeping it for going in.
  6. Evelynn takes 10% less damage and has 20% tenacity from ARAM modifiers!

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. You can use Last Caress (R) not only to kill or run away, but also to chase and to gap close to get closer to the enemies.
    • Just face properly before casting ultimate.
    • I.e. when you want to gap close to enemy, turn back to them then R.

Riot

  1. Allure's arm time might seem long, but the Charm and magic resist shred put Evelynn at an exteme advantage so are worth the wait.
  2. 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.
  3. If at low health, you can take advantage of Demon Shade's healing and Camouflage to return to the fight and surprise opponents.
