I Play Kindred a Couple of Times and Don't Understand How to Build Her

ChrisThePleb·Oct 15, 2015·1 votes·963 views

Long story short: I played a few Kindred games and thought that Devourer would be a great build for her if I got a few of her passive stacks and got botrk, but I just realized that with the devourer ranged nerf its pretty weak.

I was thinking of going warrior, but then you don't proc your passive all that much and you're still squishy as hell.

So the question is: What's better on Kindred in your opinion considering the little time we've had her? Warrior or Devourer? I honestly feel like riot wanted to release the true "vayne jungle" that is an actual jungler, but then forgot about her and nerfed devourer so shes kind of really weak.

Warrior, INFINITY Edge, Shiv, Blood thirster, BORK, in no certain order

What about adding a tank item instead of bork of blood thirster? Like banshess or something with armor and health depending on the game?

Would that crush her damage too much?

You can start of by swapping blood thirsted for frozen mallet, if you get ahead you really should swap to the thirster

I think I'll try this out. Honestly, sated did not impress me at all. I felt very weak and kind of useless. This build seems a lot more versatile.

item 3714 item 3142 item 3153 item 3085 item 3006 item 3035 is an interesting armor pen build. Meant to make every hit count and great at tank killing.

Only played one game with her thus far but I had huge success with Devourer > Bork > LW > Runaan's. Pretty massive aoe damage after you've gotten 10 or so stacks. Can probably swap LW out for Black Cleaver honestly.

there... fixed it for you

Besides they are made for end game, both the passive and sated benefit far more from attack speed then from AD You just have to have a team that supports a devourer jungler, cuz if they feed you won't farm, won't get stacks and will seem weak

Lane them and skip the jungle item for now?

I haven't played Kindered yet and will some tonight. I theory crafting this build.

item 3930 item 3153 item 3006 item 3046 item 3078 item 3742

Of course build item 3035 item 3071 or item 3142 instead of the last two items if they have tons of armor.

I honestly don't think trinity would be great on Kindred because of low base damage, low mana costs, and lack of any ap scalings.

TyrenOct 15, 20151 votes

I'm thinking that the Sheen proc (since she does cast a lot of spells) and the Phage passive would be nice along with the other stats that isn't mana or the ap that it gives. Honestly it wouldn't be much different than a Yasuo building it because he doesn't use mana and I don't think he has ap scalings. We will just have to wait and see once the experimental phase is over and the correct builds are found.
