How to win lane as Camille against Kennen · 50.35% win rate over 143 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Kennen | Kennen pokes with Thundering Shuriken (Q) and stacks Mark of the Storm on autos 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-stun 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 | Camille | Full kit online, your combo runs him down: the wall-stun 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 | Camille | 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 | Kennen | Slicing Maelstrom (R) stacks three Marks of the Storm for the AOE stun that locks your all-in — he owns level 6 unless you bait the ult or wait it out before you E in. |
| First item | Camille | 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 | Even / skill | 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 — his Thundering Shuriken (Q) and the Mark of the Storm his passive stacks on autos chip you down before your Hookshot (E) is online, so don't walk into shuriken range to contest a cannon. Your passive only shields one hit and won't trade up here, so CS at max range and accept a little poke; his energy poke alone can't kill you. Once you hit 3 with E ready, the lane shifts: wait out or bait his Lightning Rush (E), then E off a wall for the stun and weave the empowered Q recast for the true-damage second hit."
