Kindred falls behind when skipped tempo is not rewarded. - Contest marked areas only with lane priority and health. Arriving late gives her the skirmish she wants. - Track R before committing burst in river fights. Save damage and crowd control for the moment the invulnerability ends. - Force objectives when you have a full tempo or level lead. Avoid coin-flip skirmishes that let Kindred collect marks and reset the map. - Hold finishing damage until her R expires. Bursting too early wastes cooldowns and lets her team heal through the turn. ## Where Kindred is weak Exploit these in draft and in lane. - Kindred needs marks and tempo to scale, so losing contested camps slows both damage and range progression. - Kindred's ultimate can protect enemies as well as allies, making mistimed burst windows waste her biggest tool. ## Kindred counters: questions ### Who counters Kindred in Jungle?
