Notes

  1. Updated for 14.1 League of Legends Patch.

How to play

  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. Remember that you need to be close to enemies to proc Jak'Sho. Do not be afraid to go in and stay close to them in fights. This way you can proc Jak'Sho and get healed.
  3. You will be more tanky later on, so play more carefully in the early game.
  4. Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
  5. 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).
  6. 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.
  7. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. Usually the best targets for hunt (Kindred's Passive) are melee/tank champions. Especially in the early game.
Riot
  1. Moving around between attacks while jungling will help you avoid damage and also generate more heals from Wolf's Frenzy.
  2. Pick which Hunts you want to pursue carefully; getting many of them is the key to success as the game goes on.
  3. Don't go in first to a large team fight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.
