How it works

  1. You are going Guinsoo's Rageblade, building Attack Speed and On-Hit items.
  2. Thanks to Guinsoo's Rageblade, your On Hit effects are gonna trigger two times every third Attack.
  3. You are gonna play Carry for your team.

How to play

On-Hit Kennen

  1. Use Lightning Rush (E) to prep before fights, to gain attack speed. Critical strikes extend the attack speed buff duration.
  2. Your Electrical Surge (W) passive on-hit damage can critically strike, giving you nice extra burst. Weave auto attacks between spells to maximize your DPS.
  3. Use Slicing Maelstrom (R) to peel for yourself rather than diving in, keeping enemies off you while you auto attack.
  1. Build On-Hit items!
  2. Usually Guinsoo's Rageblade is not good first rush. Get it as #2 or #3 item.
  3. Your first item should be adapting to enemy team:
    • If they have tons of HP stacking bruisers/tanks - go Blade of The Ruined King.
    • If they are super magic damage heavy / CC - go Wit's End.
    • If you want to become more tanky - go Titanic Hydra.
    • Since it works well with you champ, you can go Nashor's Tooth as well! It gives you nice On-Hit effect, some AP and also boosts your abilities. With this, you can build some AP (for example, you can get Zhonya's Hourglass as defensive option) or even benefit from some support buffs that give AP.
    • Statikk Shiv is a great scaling teamfight item! Its chain lightning applies all your on-hit effects (Blade of The Ruined King, Kraken Slayer, Wit's End, etc.) to secondary bounce targets, letting you shred multiple enemies at once.
    • Otherwise, you can get Kraken Slayer.
  4. You need some time to ramp-up your damage (runes, items etc.), so position well and keep auto attacking!
  5. Remember to use Titanic Hydra active! It deals additional damage and also resets auto attack timer!

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.
