Introduction - About me
Hello everyone, I am Insightful a challenger player since s10 in the EUW server, I'm mostly known for being a karthus/evelynn player and since I've already written a guide on karthus, people have been asking me for an evelynn guide and this is it, I have about 3million+ mastery points on the champion across all my accounts combined and I've been rank 1 evelynn in EUW multiple times, and recently I've hit challenger with a modest 63% winrate on it. Hope you like it



Champion introduction - Evelynn
Pros/Cons
Abilities

Evelynn's passive is for sure the most unique passive in the game. It keeps you healthy at any stage of the game and post 6 you have permanent stealth. This is your biggest advantage as an assassin since your champion doesn't really have dashes or an escape tool, the more you play her the better you'll use her passive.

Her Q is divided in 4 parts. The first Q is a skillshot who will increase the damage of your next 3 abilities to your enemies, it's very important that you hit early or you'll probably lack the damage to kill someone, the next Qs are just non targeted spikes to complement the extra damage that you'll do in case you hit it. This is the skill you max first.

Evelynn's charm is a very unique skill,2.5 seconds after you cast it, you can reactivate it to charm the person,if you do it earlier, it will simply be a slow. This is so broken when trying to gank someone since if you can proc it, it's an undodgeable cc for champs who can't get out of your range. You max this 2nd.

This is basically where evelynn's burst comes on from in the later stages of the game, you have a melee dash that always chases the person, very good to use with your charm since you can chase people if they flash away. You max this 3rd.

Items
Night Harvester I know a lot of people will argue that rocketbelt is better, but for me night harvester just feels better. You lose a bit of damage early game but you compensate with utility (ms and cdr), rocketbelt can feel a bit clunky to combo sometimes for me. |
Mejai's Soulstealer This is the perfect item for evelynn, it gives her everything she needs. A lot of AP, movement speed and a bit of health. It's a must have in any game, she's probably the best user of this item since her passive gives her autonomy to choose when to fight in a lot of situations |
Rabadon's Deathcap After mejais you'll want a deathcap, it will give you the amount of AP you need to one shot anyone on the map, and it's really good insurance in case you lose your mejai stacks since you'll still have a lot of AP, and even better if you're ahead. |

Void Staff Once the enemy starts stacking magic resistance just get void staff, it's the perfect item to break through it with your huge amounts of ability power. |
Banshee's Veil Now that you have all your core items, your last item choice it's either a defensive or offensive item, you need to be able to read the situation of the game, I personally love banshee's veil on evelynn, it's very cheap, gives 80 AP and it can help you go in and out without putting yourself at too much risk |
Lich Bane If you choose the offensive option, go for lich bane,it works just like mejais but with a nice passive to synergize with your E. You can also sell boots for this item in the ultra late game since it also gives you movement speed. |
Early game pathing
Now that we've gone through the basics, let's focus on how you should be playing jungle with evelynn.
The first thing you want to do is always full clear, doesn't matter if you start red or blue, always full clear. The side of the map you choose to start on however depends on your judgement, usually you want to try to avoid the enemy jungler early so you can get at least 1 scuttle. You can also try to path towards the lane you're more likely to get a gank off, even if you have to flash for it, it's very worth to get kills/xp early on evelynn. You want to get your level 6 as fast as possible, so try not to overcomit to ganks and make sure you clear your camps asap until 6.
A small jungle clear tip that often goes unnoticed while playing evelynn is that you should never walk up to camps straight up with your charm, first use your 4 Qs and then in the 1-2 second cooldown window, you charm the camp, you do this because the charm takes 2.5 seconds to be activated on monsters, so if you go straight up you have to wait it out until you can atack it, while if you use it between Qs, you're saving 1 second of clear, it may not seem like much, but by the end of the clear, it's 4-5 seconds you saved which can be very important, specially the higher the elo you play in.

After 6 pathing
This is when the game begins for you as evelynn, at this stage of the game is when you want to start forcing things on the map, but always remember that evelynn is a late game champion, so focus on ganks that are easy and on the lanes that are consitently pushing or without summoner spells, those are the easy ganks you can abuse and go back to farm.
Usually if your ulti is on cooldown, I advice you to just farm your camps, you don't need to force anything without it.
