Learn how to play with Tahm Kench with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Tahm Kench uses his R (Devour) on you, input movement commands in your desired direction to control when and where you're spit out. This gives you agency over your positioning after being saved from danger.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Position within short range (250 units) of Tahm Kench during dangerous situations so he can reach you with his R (Devour). This range is extremely short—about half the distance of a standard ranged auto attack.
Team Fight Skirmish
Play more confidently once Tahm Kench reaches level 6 and gains his R (Devour). This ability can save you from deadly situations and turns around skirmishes by temporarily removing you from danger.
Lane Phase
Pay attention to Tahm Kench's passive stacks on enemies (visible above their health bar). When an enemy has 3 stacks, his Q will stun them for 1.5 seconds, creating perfect opportunities for follow-up damage.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
During lane phase, focus on farming and scaling rather than forcing trades when playing with Tahm Kench. His early game is weak, but he excels at keeping you safe to reach your power spikes.
Basic Lane Phase
Be ready to follow up quickly when Tahm Kench uses his W (Abyssal Dive). Enemies can see where he's landing after 0.75 seconds of his channel, so time your abilities to land as he arrives.
Skirmish
When Tahm Kench has 3 stacks on an enemy and lands his Q, capitalize on the 1.5-second stun by layering your crowd control or damage abilities. This creates a window where the enemy cannot respond.
Skirmish Lane Phase
Don't panic when Tahm Kench appears to be at low health—he can activate his E to convert grey health into a shield that lasts 2.5 seconds. Continue fighting alongside him when he uses this shield in team fights.
Team Fight Skirmish
Be cautious when engaging in situations where Tahm Kench needs to follow up. His W (Abyssal Dive) has a 1.35-second channel time, making it difficult for him to follow quick engages or sudden plays.
Advanced Team Fight
In the late game (level 16+), consider using Tahm Kench's R (Devour) proactively before entering fights. When he spits you out, you'll receive a substantial shield that can give you an edge in the initial engagement.
