TAHM KENCH COUNTER/TIPS

Tahm Kench Ally Tips

  • Your most important function as a support is to keep fragile allies safe. Keep Devour's range and cooldown in mind and position accordingly!
  • Consider carefully when to use Thick Skin's active. Sometimes shielding early to avoid further damage is good, but sometimes the healing is more beneficial.
  • Strong against:
Irelia Counter : Tahm Kench Jax Counter : Tahm Kench Nasus Counter : Tahm Kench Riven Counter : Tahm Kench Tryndamere Counter : Tahm Kench

Tahm Kench Enemy Tips

  • When you see Tahm Kench use the shield from Thick Skin, remember that he just opted out of a good deal of healing. He will also not accumulate new gray health until Thick Skin comes off cooldown. Use this to your advantage!
  • Watch out for Kench's Abyssal Dive - you can cancel it's channel with immobilizing crowd control effects.

TAHM KENCH LORE

Known by many names throughout history, the demon Tahm Kench travels the waterways of Runeterra, feeding his insatiable appetite with the misery of others. Though he may appear singularly charming and proud, he swaggers through the physical realm like a vagabond in search of unsuspecting prey. His lashing tongue can stun even a heavily armored warrior from a dozen paces, and to fall into his rumbling belly is to tumble into an abyss from which there is little hope of return.
