Gameplay and Information

Lore

KharDen served under Azirs army as a priest for his comrades in the battle of Shurima and was the most trust person of his priesthood - which betrayed him in an act of grief to reach the Ascension. KharDen revived from the dead in order to bring pain to everyone in his path and to hinder Azir, his traitor and former leader.

Strength and Weaknesses

KharDen excels at dealing a good amount of damage and applying deadly Crowd Control. He has strong AoE abilities which allow him to not only deal massive teamfight damage but also to regain health in a long fight. His Q is his main spell used to deal alot of Poke Damage and is his main survival kit. His W, in remembrance of the fallen soldiers, shall bring fear to all enemies in the battlefield and is - paired with his Ultimate - the most impactful way to dominate a fight, bringing death across the whole battleground. His E allows him to not only slow, but also catch up to his victim and is his main way of engagement.

He has good scalings and his kit transitions very well into the lategame.

He can be either played as an offtank ( due to his W / E / Ultimate) that catches up to his enemies, applying CC and regenerating through the fight or as a burstmage with his solid scalings to apply tons of damage.

His main weakness is that all of his spells cost a considerable amount of health and that he has to stack some health in order to survive fights. Therefore he isn't a lanebully and needs some time to ramp up, his lategame however, is devastating.

KharDen is good in Dive/Teamfight comps and weak to Sieging comps.

The Spell order is: R > Q > E > W

Recommended Items: Rylais, Spirit Visage, Warmog, Liandrys Torment

Recommended Summoners: Flash/Ignite ; Flash/Teleport

Good with: Amumu : ^)
