How to play Kindred in ARAM Mayhem

Kindred is a below-average pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier C, #157 of 173 champions, with a 46.1% win rate over 738,664 games.

82% of Kindred's damage to champions is physical, so enemy armor is what slows it down. It keeps its team alive with 3,731 healing on teammates in an average game; stay behind your frontline and save it for the fights that matter. It brings almost no crowd control, so it relies on teammates to set up kills.

The Crit build, critical strike and attack speed items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: The Collector, Runaan's Hurricane and Infinity Edge, with a 48.2% win rate over 520,429 games. For boots, most players buy Berserker's Greaves, but Gluttonous Greaves rank higher.

The cards that do best on Kindred are Hand of Baron, Still Here and Weapon of Destiny. Cards built around movement speed fill most of the top of its list, followed by attack speed and on-hit. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Snowblast and Bread and Cheese when you can: they do worst on Kindred. A pair to look for: Back To Basics with Totentanz.

Take Flash and Barrier (3% of players); Ghost is the common alternative. Max Q (Dance of Arrows) first, then W, then E.
