Optional Summoner Spells

Exhaust

Exhaust

Defensive option. Exhaust for peeling against enemy divers and assassins and protecting yourself.

Heal

Heal

Classic ADC option. Gives you and a teammate a burst of movement speed and health in clutch moments.

Cleanse

Cleanse

Underrated, not super easy to use, requires skill and getting used to it, but very good option. It is blessing if you pick it blindly against heavy CC comps. Frees you from disables and exhaust to keep you dealing damage.

How it works

  1. You build 100% crit, lots of AD, and attack speed to melt the enemy team.
  2. ADC Kennen is a late-game scaling powerhouse.
  3. Your goal is to become the primary carry for your team.

How to play

ADC Kennen

  1. Use E to prep before fights, to gain attack speed.
  2. Use R to peel from yourself, as you cannot really autoattack, so engaging with it rarely makes sense.

Getting started

  1. Play carefully early on until you get some core items.
  2. Usually Statikk Shiv is good first item for waveclear.
  3. Don't rush Infinity Edge. It scales off of your other crit items, so usually go for it as your #2 or #3 item.

Adapting

  1. Adapt to the enemy team. If they have lots of tanks or start stacking Armor, prioritize Lord Dominik's Regards early.
  2. If you are facing heavy AP burst or assassins, items like Immortal Shieldbow or Maw of Malmortius can save your life.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. Keep track of your Electrical Surge (W) stacks. Once you have it fully stacked, you can very easily stun an enemy with auto attack + Thundering Shuriken (Q) + W combo. You can even pair it with Flash for very unexpected CC.

Riot

  1. You can stun your opponents by inflicting 3 Marks of the Storm upon them.
  2. Lightning Rush can be used to initiate fights with its Energy return component, allowing him to use other abilities afterward.
  3. You can land an initial Mark of the Storm debuff on an opponent with Thundering Shuriken, and then add to it with Electrical Surge.
