Taken from the in-game loadout screen as of 2026-10-07. The pick count and win rate are shown exactly as the game reports them.
Skill Order (Lv 1 - 15)
Prioritize the skill that provides mobility and your main damage first, then level the one with the Slow and percent Health damage.
Kindred Strengths
- ✓Damage that lets a jungler act as a second ADC.
- ✓Scaling where each Mark stack extends range and damage.
- ✓Ult invulnerability zone that can turn a losing fight.
Kindred Weaknesses
- ×Mark spawns are visible to the enemy, so pathing is easy to read
- ×Fragile early and struggles against jungle invades
- ×Ult protects enemies too, so a mistimed cast is a heavy loss
Kindred Early Game
Pick up the jungle camps that carry your passive Mark when it is safe. Go gank the enemy champions you marked in advance. Managing early stacks shapes the rest of the game.
Kindred Mid Game
As stacks build and your range grows, your DPS rivals a dedicated ADC. Kite constantly with Skill 1 and make use of your Skill 2 zone, and your kill potential in skirmishes climbs.
Kindred Late Game
Your range and damage keep growing until even tanks melt quickly. Position carefully so enemy assassins cannot reach you, and use your Ult to negate lethal burst.
Kindred Teamfights
Play as a second ADC and shred the nearest enemies from a safe spot. Cast your Ult the moment you or your carries are about to die. As the invulnerability ends, land your Skill 3 burst to turn the fight around.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
Dying while overreaching for a passive mark
Going alone into the enemy jungle to grab a passive Mark is risky, and dying to a collapse there is a heavy loss. Check the minimap for the enemy jungler and laners, and only go for the Mark when you have allied cover.
Kindred Combos
Basic Kiting
Deploy Skill 2 to cut the cooldown of Skill 1 and slow with Skill 3. Reposition with Skill 1 while aiming for the third hit.
Ultimate Survival
Go invulnerable with Ult while stacking Skill 3, then detonate the third hit the moment it ends.
Kindred Skills
Mark of the Kindred
There are different ways to mark a target:
1. Auto-refresh: Every 25 seconds, the Mark on a monster expires and a new one is automatically applied. Marks on monsters are highlighted on the minimap.
2. Active: Tap the Mark button above your spells to mark an enemy champion and briefly obtain vision of them.
Scoring a takedown against a hunted target grants a Mark of the Kindred stack that empowers Kindred.
The first 3 stack(s) gained grant 75 attack range, and every 3 stack(s) gained subsequently grant 25 attack range.
Mark of the Kindred also empowers abilities and grants them the following effects:
