Kennen Build

Kennen has two build directions one is AD and the other is AP. But getting AP is the best for Kennen Wild Rift because Kennen Wild Rift's skills often deal extra magic damage, so there's no harm in doubling calcium.

Kennen abilities

MARK OF THE STORM MARK OF THE STORM

Strengths:

  • Provides crowd control through stuns when hitting enemies with abilities.
  • Grants energy upon stunning an enemy at 3 stacks, allowing for sustained engagement.
  • Encourages strategic engagement based on the number of stacks.

Weaknesses:

  • Stun duration decreases if multiple stuns are applied within 6 seconds.
  • Requires careful management to maximize stun potential.

Usage Tips:

  • Engage when you have 2 stacks and can quickly apply the third for a stun.
  • Be mindful of the stun duration reduction and adjust play accordingly.

Examples:

  • Use Mark of the Storm to stun an enemy laner before using Thundering Shuriken and Electrical Surge to burst them down.
  • In a teamfight, use Mark of the Storm to stun a priority target like the enemy carry, then use Slicing Maelstrom and your ultimate to focus them down.

THUNDERING SHURIKEN THUNDERING SHURIKEN

Strengths:

  • Long-range poke ability with a short cooldown.
  • Useful for harassing opponents during the laning phase.
  • Provides a reliable source of magic damage.

Weaknesses:

  • Single-target damage limits its effectiveness in crowded team fights.
  • Requires accurate skill-shot aiming.

Usage Tips:

  • Use for poking enemies in the laning phase or setting up engages.
  • Safely last-hit minions from a distance when necessary.

Examples:

  • Use Thundering Shuriken to poke the enemy laner in lane and force them to recall.
  • In a teamfight, use Thundering Shuriken to stun an enemy from afar, creating an opening for your team to engage.

  • Active shocks nearby enemies with Mark of the Storm, dealing magic damage.
  • Combines well with other abilities for burst damage.

Weaknesses:

  • Passive requires maintaining attack rhythm for optimal effectiveness.
  • Active's effectiveness depends on the presence of Marks of the Storm.

Usage Tips:

  • Use the empowered auto-attack on enemy champions for additional burst.
  • Activate when enemies are marked for increased AoE damage.

Examples:

  • In lane, use the empowered auto-attack to harass the enemy laner and trade favorably.
  • In a teamfight, use Electrical Surge after using Slicing Maelstrom to deal massive area damage to multiple targets.

  • Use Slicing Maelstrom to dive into the enemy team and focus down a priority target.

How to play Kennen

Early Game

Focus on farming early in the game to avoid being solo killed. It is very difficult for Kennen to return to the game if he is behind. Prick enemy champions with "Thundering Shuriken" and always keep "Lightning Rush" to avoid being ganked. Unless you're in need of lane push and good visibility control.

Mid Game

"Slicing Maelstrom" is an important skill to initiate combat. Whenever the team goes together to eat big goals you need to keep "Slicing Maelstrom" ready. Always stand behind the front lines and appear out of nowhere to stun the entire enemy squad.

Late Game

Go with the team in teamfights.

Combo Kennen Wild Rift:

Combo Kennen 1

Combo Kennen 2

Combo Kennen 3

Remember Kennen has a passive that if he hits an enemy 3 times, he will stun and that's when Kennen can do anything for 1.25s with the opponent.

Lightning darts used to poke health and gain passive. Just the timing of Lightning Speed and Thunderstorm will wipe out the enemy squad.

And if you want to surprise Flash, you're already in the middle of the enemy team running around and may or may not be a hero.

Kennen pros and cons

Pros

The ability to stun comes from the passive.

The hero in the combat phase brings out the eye-catching outplay.

It's hard to catch Kennen alone, guys.

The damage is large and quite painful.

Being able to fly a kite is extremely annoying for other baron road short-handed fighters.

Cons

Paper health is the biggest drawback Kennnen will not really take advantage of if he dies in the middle of the road without launching his ultimate.

Kennen counters

Kennen is very afraid of encountering champions with the ability to repel in teamfights. Targets that rush in to launch Thunderstorm but are knocked up will no longer have a good tool to do so.

The passive only activates when they have 3 Marks of Thunder, so if we get 2, it's best we don't belong together.

Conclusion
