Timely heals and splitting a teamfight properly is the difference between an easy victory or a ruinous defeat. Gliding around slowing enemies gives Kelvin's team the maneuvering advantage to make this happen.

Timely heals and splitting a teamfight properly is the difference between an easy victory or a ruinous defeat. Gliding around slowing enemies gives Kelvin's team the maneuvering advantage to make this happen.

Description

Timing is everything on kelvin. Use beam to catch enemies in open LoS. Kelvin has high base damage so play off cds and use your weapon to thin waves. Use dome to trap 1v2s and split fights around key enemy and teammate CDS this takes awareness and premeditation.

Playstyle centered around using wave prio > steal boxes/camps > roam for stacks on TC > take objectives.

Max beam and max ult by mid game gives crazy teamfight potential and skirmish power.
