Guide to Synergizing Heimerdinger and Kindred

Tips for Playing as Heimerdinger with Kindred

Spreading out Hextech Micro-Rockets leads to more reliable damage and more efficiency against multiple targets, but focusing it creates the biggest impact.

The success of Electron Storm Grenade is very important to Heimerdinger's survival. The slow and stun both are capable of keeping enemies in place long enough to punish them, but it is also the first line of defense against a surprise attack.

Turret placement can be a deciding factor in a battle. Against most enemies turrets are best when they can support each other, but if the enemy has a lot of area of effect damage your turrets can be destroyed quickly. Placing turrets in brush can lead to a surprise attack in your favor.

Advice to Understand How Kindred Will Play

Pick which Hunts you want to pursue carefully; getting many of them is the key to success as the game goes on.

Don't go in first to a large team fight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.

Moving around between attacks while jungling will help you avoid damage and also generate more heals from Wolf's Frenzy.
