All
Prioritize contesting jungle camps marked by Kindred (visible on minimap) — each mark denied prevents Kindred from gaining attack range and damage scaling, significantly reducing their late-game threat.
Lane Phase Late Game
When Kindred activates their W (Wolf's Frenzy), force them out of the circular zone — outside this area, their Q cooldown increases significantly (from 2 seconds to 9 seconds at max rank), drastically reducing their mobility and damage output.
Skirmish Team Fight
Position at the edge of Kindred's ultimate circle when it's cast, then step out immediately after it ends — you'll receive the healing benefit (225/300/375 HP) while being able to finish off enemies who remain inside.
Advanced Team Fight
Save hard crowd control for after Kindred uses Q (Dance of Arrows) — their dash has a short 300 unit range and becomes their only escape option once used, creating a clear vulnerability window.
Skirmish Team Fight
From 3:15 onwards, watch for Wolf's mark on Scuttle Crab (visible on minimap) — contesting this first mark is crucial as it's Kindred's only stack opportunity at 0 marks and sets the tone for their early game.
Basic Lane Phase
Kindred's ultimate has a long cooldown (180/150/120 seconds) — engage forcefully after they use it, as they lack another defensive tool and remain vulnerable for over 2 minutes early game.
Skirmish Team Fight
As Kindred gains marks, Wolf targets stronger jungle camps — at 4+ marks, ward and contest their Blue, Red, and major camps; at 8+ marks, increase vision around epic monsters as these become their marking targets.
Late Game
Be aware that Kindred's attack range increases with each mark collected (75-250 bonus range) — engage when they have few marks and you'll face a shorter attack range, making it easier to close the gap.
Skirmish Team Fight
Disengage or use crowd control after Kindred marks you with E and lands two basic attacks — the third hit triggers Wolf's pounce which deals significant physical damage plus missing health damage.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Place Control Wards at the entrance of your jungle when Kindred has 1-3 marks — they'll be targeting your Gromp and Raptors, which are accessible and valuable for their stacking.
