How to win the jungle race as Kindred against Lillia · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Kindred's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Lillia.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Kindred Favoured | Dance of Arrows kiting beats melee kits that can't close the gap. The Blooming Blows true-damage edge clears fast, so this is an edge and not a blowout — take the level-1 crossing only with the HP and cooldown lead. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Kindred Favoured | Wolf's Frenzy plus Q resets let you skirmish from untouchable range, but Watch Out! Eep! center-hits plus passive speed kite melee kits apart. You still win the straight exchange on the second camp; keep it short, keep it decisive, and keep the scuttle line yours. |
| Level 3 Route | Kindred Favoured | With three dashes banked you kite backwards and win every disengage fight. Lillia can make it awkward — perma-kiting with passive move speed and the true-damage Q edge means melee never touch her — but not as the first scuttle timer lands. Trade, then walk away with the first scuttle and the gank window behind it. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Kindred Favoured — Take Duels | Through levels 4-5 you remain the stronger duelist — keep taking short, decisive trades vs Lillia, but only with the HP and cooldown lead. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Even Ult Window | Neither ultimate cleanly beats the other — a multi-target Lullaby sleep hands her side a free opening volley, but Lamb's Respite un-loses fights — take aggressive duels knowing the floor is undeath. The breakpoint goes to whoever reaches it first with an objective on the map. |
| First Item Spike | Kraken Slayer | Completing Kraken Slayer grants a stacking on-hit proc that dramatically raises your basic-attack damage against both camps and champions. Your clear speed jumps as a result, letting you secure rapid solo neutral objectives before Lillia can establish a path there. Use this priority window to force aggressive counter-jungle invades or capture remaining marks. Lillia's first item is when the passing damage becomes real — she stops chipping and starts out-pacing health bars. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Kindred Favoured at Full Build | Full-build math leans your way: extended fights and side-lane duels favor you over Lillia — make late fights about 1v1s, not coin-flips. |
Start your clearing path at the Blue Buff camp to secure optimal ability haste looping across your starting single-target camps before clearing down into the scuttle crab side. Lillia clears fast and safely, kiting camps with Blooming Blows, and takes very little damage getting to three.
