Evelynn Power Spikes (Patch 26.20)

Top

When Evelynn Top gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Evelynn wins most.

Lv 3
All three basic abilities at level 3
Evelynn's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
Lv 6
Ultimate rank 1 at level 6
The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Evelynn hits it.
Lv 11
Ultimate rank 2 at level 11
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Evelynn can start or win.
Lv 16
Ultimate rank 3 at level 16
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Evelynn can start or win.

Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.

Playing Evelynn

Allure's arm time might seem long, but the Charm and magic resist shred put Evelynn at an exteme advantage so are worth the wait.
While stealthed, pay attention to when you are (near) being detected by enemy champions. This is identified by the glowing yellow and red eyes over nearby enemy champions.
If at low health, you can take advantage of Demon Shade's healing and Camouflage to return to the fight and surprise opponents.

Playing Against Evelynn

Purchasing Vision Wards can help you detect Evelynn's location in order to prepare for her ambushes.
A large share of Evelynn's threat is in her charm, 'Allure.' Protect allies marked with 'Allure' or, if you are marked, make sure allies are between you and where Evelynn may attack from.
If you suspect Evelynn is about to ambush one of your teammates, let them know by pinging the minimap and typing in chat.
