Strengths
- Camouflage makes her ganks and picks almost impossible to ward against once it is online, so every lane is a threat.
- She scales into one of the cleanest assassins in the game: charm plus empowered burst removes a carry before they can react.
- A completed charm gives her reliable lockdown, so isolated targets must respect her approach once camouflage is active.
Weaknesses
- Weak early clear and early dueling, so she loses scuttle, invades, and most level-three skirmishes outright.
- Control Wards and sweepers can reveal her objective approach and restrict the angles created by Demon Shade (Passive).
- She is fragile and committal: with charm on cooldown or a failed dive, she has no escape and no damage.
Evelynn Jungle Wild Rift best build, items, runes, summoner spells, and skill order
ITEM BUILD
Best Wild Rift build for Evelynn Jungle, including items, runes, summoner spells, and skill order.
STARTING ITEM

Early ability power, since her clear and her first gank both come entirely from her abilities.
BOOTS

Magic penetration is what makes her opening burst kill instead of chunk.
CORE BUILD

Spellblade triggers on the attack after her dash, which is the exact moment she comes out of stealth.

Multiplies her ability power. Her damage is one charmed rotation, so all of it goes up at once.

Crits against low health targets. Her ultimate already does more than double damage below that threshold, so the two stack.

Cuts magic resist. Her charm already shreds some, so this leaves the target with almost nothing. Choose it over Cryptbloom when enemies are stacking magic resist and maximum personal damage matters more than ability haste and team healing.

Build this for the moment after her ultimate blinks her out with cooldowns spent. Buy Seeker's Armguard early for the armor and ability power.
SITUATIONAL ITEMS

Her charmed rotation already does enough damage to trigger the mark, and the move speed carries her back into stealth.

The alternative to Void Staff. Less penetration, but the ability haste and healing on takedown help when she picks targets alongside her team. Choose it when enemies have not built much magic resist, so trading Void Staff's extra damage for more ability haste and an area heal after takedowns is worthwhile.

Build this when the enemy has shields that keep absorbing the burst she set up with a full charm.

Build this when the enemy has crowd control ready for the instant she becomes visible, which is her only vulnerable moment.
RUNES
KEYSTONE

She always opens the trade from stealth, so the condition is met on every engage.
PRIMARY

Her empowered dash sets up the bonus true damage right as she arrives.

Her picks convert into kills, and stacking power off takedowns builds the snowball her ambushes want.

Takedowns are the point of her ganks, so the stacks build faster on her than on a farming jungler.
SECONDARY

Ability haste means more abilities and a faster charm cycle, so she finds more picks between objectives.
SITUATIONAL RUNES

Take this over Transcendence when you ambush from full health, which is how she should be picking targets anyway.

Take this over Transcendence against teams that require repeated pick attempts and careful escapes. Shorter Allure (2nd) and Last Caress (Ult) cooldowns help Evelynn prepare another charm setup and have her ultimate ready for the next commitment.
SUMMONER SPELLS
MAIN SPELLS

Flash
Must take. Her charm has to land before her burst starts, and Flash is how she gets in range of a target hugging their tower.

Smite
You are playing Jungle, you always take Smite. Combine Smite with Last Caress (Ult) for a large objective burst, using the ultimate's backward blink to leave the pit after the secure. Monster damage upgrades from 600 to 1000 after 8 consumed Eco-system Protection stacks and to 1400 after 20 total.
SKILL ORDER
Skill Priority Order

Evelynn Jungle Wild Rift matchups and counters
Wild Rift matchup guide for Evelynn Jungle, covering favorable lanes and difficult counters to prepare for in ranked.
Good Matchups
These champions are favorable matchups for this pick in Wild Rift. You have advantages against them and can play more aggressively.

Graves
Graves cannot fight what he cannot see: your charm from camouflage takes away his dash, and your burst deletes him before his shotgun ever finds you.

Talon
Demon Shade (Passive) camouflage lets Evelynn open with Allure (2nd) before Talon can choose an Assassin's Path (3rd) escape wall. The charm holds him through the first Noxian Diplomacy (1st) burst, and Last Caress (Ult) finishes while avoiding Shadow Assault's (Ult) return damage.

Nidalee
Nidalee wins open fights with poke and kiting, but none of that matters against a threat she cannot see. Her fragile frame dies to your burst once the charm lands from fog.
Evelynn Counters
These champions counter this pick in Wild Rift and can be difficult matchups. Learn how to play against them or consider banning them.

Rengar
Early on, Rengar plays your own game better: a camouflage hunter who jumps isolated targets and bursts you down before your charm matters. His ambush beats yours while you are both weak, though you outscale him.

Vi
Vi's lock-on ultimate punches through the stealth your escape depends on and pins your squishy frame for her team. Her charged knockup also interrupts your burst rotation.

Pantheon
Pantheon punishes your weak early game, invading before camouflage comes online and stunning you out of any play with his point-and-click combo. Aegis (3rd) blocks your opening burst, and your fragile frame melts once you are visible.
