Learn how to play with Kennen with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Kennen activates his R (Slicing Maelstrom), immediately follow up with your own damage or crowd control abilities. His ultimate stuns enemies in a medium-range area, creating a perfect window for your team to deal massive damage.
Team Fight
Pay attention when Kennen disappears from vision before teamfights. He often looks to Flash + R from fog of war for surprise engages that can stun multiple enemies at once, creating perfect follow-up opportunities.
Team Fight
Help Kennen set up successful flanks by placing control wards in side brushes and clearing enemy vision around objectives. His ultimate is most effective when enemies don't see him coming and can't prepare to spread out.
Team Fight
When Kennen's ultimate is on cooldown (120/100/80 seconds), avoid forcing teamfights. During mid-game, he may split push during this window, so play defensively and avoid full 4v5 engagements until his ultimate returns.
Team Fight Late Game
Look for gank or roam opportunities when Kennen reaches level 6. His ultimate provides strong AoE CC, making this a key power spike window for securing kills in the top lane.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
After Kennen uses his E+R combo to engage, position to protect him as he becomes vulnerable until his cooldowns return. Enemies will often focus him once his mobility is on cooldown.
Team Fight
Coordinate ganks when Kennen's E (Lightning Rush) is on cooldown, which ranges from 10-6 seconds. Without this ability, he lacks mobility and is vulnerable, especially if pushed up in lane.
Advanced Lane Phase
Time your crowd control to start when Kennen's Mark of the Storm stun ends. His stun lasts 1.25 seconds (reduced to 0.5 seconds on subsequent applications within 6 seconds), so chaining your CC afterward maximizes disable duration.
Advanced Team Fight Skirmish
When you see Kennen activate his E (Lightning Rush), prepare to engage. This yellow lightning form gives him 100% bonus movement speed for 2 seconds, and he's likely positioning for his ultimate.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Pay attention to Kennen's Mark of the Storm stacks on enemies (visible as electric marks). Three stacks trigger a stun, so if you see two stacks on an enemy, coordinate with Kennen to add the final stack and trigger crowd control.
