Watch League of Legends’ Evelynn Assassinate Squishies in Her Champion Spotlight Video

A Champion Spotlight video for League of Legends’ Evelynn was uploaded ahead of the reworked jungler’s upcoming release in to show off her powerful new abilities and shadowy gameplay.

If you’ve been waiting to return to the Rift with Evelynn to make enemies uneasy about where you might be, this week’s patch is your time to shine. Evelynn has been on the table for a rework for some time now, and now that the patch is almost upon us, players will be seeing a lot more of Evelynn in-game while she shifts throughout the shadows of the jungle. Her innovative abilities were revealed not long ago before the updated champion hit the PBE, and the new Champion Spotlight video now gives players some creative ideas of how they can piece together the assassin’s moves.

Evelynn’s Champion Spotlight

The above video pieces together some of Evelynn’s deadliest combos as she quickly emerges from the shadows and removes squishies from existence.

However, it appears that she won’t be just a threat to the more fragile champs. As seen when she uses her ultimate on Darius, the ability acts as an execute as well, so even if you’re a tankier champion, you still have to be wary if your health drops too low.

For those facing off against Evelynn soon, it’s also important to see how her Lust Dust move works. It won’t break Eve’s camo, but it will give you a brief chance to escape by revealing what direction Eve is coming from before she’s launching Hate Spikes into you.

Evelynn’s Abilities

Below are all of Evelynn’s new abilities if you missed them during the initial reveal, each of them shown off in the video in greater detail and with combo ideas:

Passive: Demon Shade

• After avoiding combat for a few seconds, Evelynn is enveloped by Demon Shade. If Evelynn’s health is low, she’ll recover it quickly while this ability is active. Starting at level 6, Demon Shadealso grants camouflage—this makes Evelynn hidden from view to all except nearby enemy champions, control wards, and turrets

Q: Hate Spike

• Evelynn lashes out in a target direction, dealing damage to the first unit hit. If the lash strikes a target, Evelynn’s next three spells or attacks on that target will deal additional damage. If the struck target is a monster, a significant chunk of Hate Spike’scooldown will be refunded.
• After the initial cast, Evelynn can recast Hate Spikeup to three times to fire a line of spikes through the nearest enemy. The spikes deal damage to all enemies hit. Hate Spike prioritizes the enemy Evelynn is attacking.

W: Lust Dust

• Evelynn briefly curses a target champion or monster, briefly revealing her location to her target. Hitting the cursed target with basic attacks or Eve’s other spells will expunge the curse, refunding Lust Dust’s mana cost and significantly slowing the target.
• If the curse lasts for at least a couple of seconds, expunging it will charm the target. If the target is an enemy champion, their magic resistance will be reduced for a few seconds. If the target is a monster, the length of the charm will be increased and the spell will deal bonus damage.
• Casting Lust Dustdoes not break Demon Shade’s camouflage.

E: Whiplash

• Whiplash-Evelynn impales an enemy with her lashers, applying on-hit effects and dealing damage as a percentage of the target’s maximum health. Evelynn is then granted a short burst of movement speed.
• Entering Demon Shadeupgrades Evelynn’s next Whiplash into Empowered Whiplash.
• EmpoweredWhiplash -Evelynn pulls herself to her target before impaling them, then deals Whiplash’s effects to her target and all nearby enemies.

R: Widowmaker

• Evelynn unleashes her demonic energy, becoming untargetable and decimating enemies in front of her. She then warps backwards. This ability deals bonus damage to low-health enemies.
