Skill Order

While your choices may differ according to how the game progresses, the typical Evelynn skill priority is:

R > Q > E > W

Summoner Spells

These are the summoner spells most typically taken by Evelynn in this role. Naturally, this may change depending on match-ups.

Gameplay

A highly effective AP assassin, Evelynn is all about stalking her prey unseen, attempting to take out the more vulnerable targets before a teamfight even starts. Her mobility post-6 is almost unrivalled, but you'll need to play patiently until reaching that point.

• Level 1 - Take Q - Hate Spike, for the quicker farming.
• Level 2 - Take W - Allure, so you can charm monsters and burst them down more quickly.
• First Back - Work towards your Rocketbelt.

Tips & Tricks

• Hate Spike's cooldown is reduces when it hits a monster.
• Hate Spike can be reactivated up to three times, inflicting area damage. The target hit first takes additional damage.
• When Allure is fully charged, it points in your direction briefly. Change up your move pattern so as not to be too predictable coming out of invisibility.
• Whiplash is enhanced when your passive comes back online and you enter invisibility, gaining a dash and % health damage.
• Last Caress deals more damage to low-health enemies, making it an excellent execute tool.
