Evelynn — League Classic (Season 3)

Classic builds

Era-accurate Season 3 (2013) builds.In-game values and the live meta may differ before the July 29 launch.Why?

League Classic is a curated recreation of old League and is still being balanced ahead of the July 29 launch, so in-game values and the live meta may differ. We’ll update builds as the mode settles.

Notes

The jump-scare jungler. Shadow Walk lets her sit invisible next to a lane and open with a full combo before the target can flash, and every kill refreshes Dark Frenzy so she peels off to the next fight. Deathfire Grasp plus her huge AP ratios means a fed Evelynn one-shots carries. She is very squishy and useless in drawn-out fights: her pattern is burst, vanish, heal, not stand and brawl. Pink wards and being grouped are her counters. Also strong mid, where early Hate Spike poke bullies most laners.

Not hand-checked yet, so treat these values as provisional. Source: Season 3 MOBAFire community guides (post-3.10 rework, 2013), AP stealth assassin build.

Notes

The "why is the assassin auto-attacking me to death" build. Instead of bursting and vanishing, she leans on Ravage's attack-speed steroid plus Nashor's and Gunblade to grind targets down while Hate Spike ticks and Gunblade sustains her through skirmishes. Weaker one-shot potential than the Deathfire Grasp build but far stickier and better in extended fights. Always the niche pick — the AP burst build was the meta one — but a real, nasty change-up that catches people expecting a squishy assassin.

Not hand-checked yet, so treat these values as provisional. Source: Season 3 MOBAFire community guides (post-3.10 rework, 2013), off-meta hybrid on-hit build.

Abilities

Passive
Shadow Walk
When out of combat, Evelynn enters Camouflage: she is stealthed but still visible to nearby enemy champions and to true sight, so this is semi-stealth rather than permastealth. While stealthed she rapidly regenerates mana. This is her roam and gank engine, and the reason pink wards are her hard counter.
Q
Hate Spike
Cooldown 1.5sCost 16/22/28/34/40 ManaRange 500
Evelynn fires a line of spikes through an enemy, dealing magic damage to everything in its path. The cooldown and mana cost are tiny, so it is recast several times in quick succession: her primary damage and her jungle clear. Each hit on a champion also stacks Dark Frenzy's passive move speed.
W
Dark Frenzy
Cooldown 15sCost No CostRange Self
Passive: hitting enemy champions with her spells grants stacking bonus move speed. Active: Evelynn breaks free of slows and gains a large move-speed burst (30/40/50/60/70%) for a few seconds. Champion kills and assists refresh the cooldown. This is her only mobility — engage, chase, and escape all run through it.
E
Ravage
Cooldown 9sCost 50/55/60/65/70 ManaRange 225
Evelynn slashes her target twice for magic damage, scaling with both ability power and bonus attack damage, then gains a large attack-speed steroid for 3 seconds. The bonus-AD ratio and the steroid together are what make the hybrid on-hit build possible.
R
Agony's Embrace
Cooldown 150/120/90sCost 100 ManaRange 650
Evelynn summons spikes from the ground, dealing magic damage as a percentage of each target's maximum health (scaling with ability power) and slowing them. She then gains a shield based on how many enemy champions were hit, which is what lets her open a fight rather than only finish one.
