Read from Camille's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Kennen.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Kennen pokes with Thundering Shuriken (Q) and chips on-hit through Electrical Surge (W) while your range is melee and your E gap-closer is still locked — last-hit at distance and don't trade into his energy poke. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Hookshot (E) at level 3 unlocks your wall knock-up and the empowered Q recast, but he still kites with Lightning Rush (E) — only commit a wall-dash trade when his dash is on cooldown. |
| Level 3 | Kennen | Full kit online, your combo runs him down: the wall knock-up pins him through his kite and the empowered Q's true-damage second hit chunks his low HP faster than he can poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | W's outer edge deals max-HP damage and heals you off him while you short-trade near a wall, so his Q-and-mark poke gets undone every time he steps up. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Slicing Maelstrom (R) finishes three Marks of the Storm for the AOE stun that locks your all-in — he owns level 6 unless you bait it or wait out its flat 120s before you E in. |
| First item | Kennen | Sheen and Trinity Force turn every Q recast into a burst proc and your wall-dives into kills against his ~13-armor squishy frame. |
| Two+ items | Kennen | He scales into an AOE-stun teamfighter while you keep the duel — your true-damage Q and R isolation edge the split, but his flash-R keeps the overall lane even, not won. |
"Kennen out-ranges you the first two levels — Thundering Shuriken (Q, 7s) and the on-hit chip from Electrical Surge (W) wear you down before your Hookshot (E) is online, so don't walk into shuriken range to contest a cannon. Three marks land the stun, and his autos alone will not get there. Your passive shields one hit, so CS at max range and accept poke. Once you hit 3 with E ready the lane shifts: bait Lightning Rush (E), which is 10s at rank 1, then E off a wall for the knock-up and weave the empowered Q recast."
