Who to play with Kennen — best team synergies

Unstoppable Force (R) floors the whole group in one spot, which is the one thing Slicing Maelstrom (R) is missing: a motionless pile inside the storm collects Mark of the Storm (P) stacks back to back and stuns itself.

His page says he punishes nobody on his own, and your problem is keeping them inside Slicing Maelstrom (R): Searing Charge (E) into a wall and the Call of the Forge God (R) ram redirected into their line pin them there while the storm pulses.

Your page is blunt: outside Slicing Maelstrom (R) you have no defensive tool at all. Shadow Dash (E) taunts the diver before he reaches you, and Stand United (R) shields you from half a map away the moment you flank in with Lightning Rush (E).

Mega Adhesive (W) under a stunned group means nobody strolls out of the storm, and anyone Fling (E) throws into the glue is rooted outright. It is also how a diver gets peeled off you while Lightning Rush (E) is on cooldown.

It depends on terrain. GNAR! (R) into a wall stuns the group and leaves it stacked inside Slicing Maelstrom (R), with Wallop (W) on top; in open ground it shoves them away exactly while the storm is pulsing.

Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) pins them all for 1.5 seconds, which hands Slicing Maelstrom (R) a full window of targets that cannot move. And Cursed Touch (P) makes every magic hit carry true damage, which means all of yours.

Your page says to stay on one target, because Slicing Maelstrom (R) gains 10% damage on every repeated hit against the same enemy: Cataclysm (R) is the wall that stops that enemy from leaving while the storm keeps hammering.

Her page says Moonfall (R) only works up close and that mobile targets walk out of the zone before it detonates: a Mark of the Storm (P) stun keeps them in it, and the slow that follows leaves them sitting in your storm.

His page says Absolute Zero (R) is beaten by simply walking away: after a Mark of the Storm (P) stun nobody is walking anywhere. And Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) is the second engage that bunches them up while your ultimate is down.

He is for games where a single enemy carry decides everything: Frenzying Taunt (E) holds it still inside the storm, and his page says the team's damage has to do the rest. He adds nothing to bunching up the other four.

Bullet Time (R) is a three-second channel that her page says gets danced around: Mark of the Storm (P) takes movement away from the entire group. Two area ultimates on the same pile, and yours is the one holding it still.

Lightning Rush (E) cuts through the group and tags all of them: anyone you have just touched turns Deadly Flourish (W) into a real root instead of a poke shot. Curtain Call (R) then executes whoever your marks have already stunned.

Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) opens the fight from off-screen, so you are not the one who has to go in first with Lightning Rush (E). And Frost Shot (P) slows on every single hit: Thundering Shuriken (Q) does not miss a slowed target.

Chain of Corruption (R) roots the first target and spreads to whoever stands next to them: your storm forces them to stay close, his chain ties them down. And Blighted Quiver (W) piles magic damage onto the pile you are already burning.

Arc of Judgment (W) leaves a near-total slow that stacks with the storm, and nobody gets out of that spot. But her page says she folds to any dive and you peel for nobody, so this needs a real frontline in front of you both.

Grand Entrance (W) knocks up and The Quickness (R) charms the same targets: his page counts nearly two seconds of chained crowd control, which is the window Slicing Maelstrom (R) pulses in. Battle Dance (E) then reaches you and shields you inside them.

Crescendo (R) stuns the first target it touches and slows everyone else caught in the wave, so the storm pulses on a group that cannot reposition. Aria of Perseverance (W) keeps you standing, the one thing you lack in the middle of them.

Magnet Storm (R) vacuums scattered enemies into a single pile, which is the condition your ultimate needs. Her page says the damage has to come from someone else: Slicing Maelstrom (R) on five stacked targets is that damage.

Transcendent Embrace (R) hits the whole group and knocks them toward the centre, packing them together instead of scattering them. A Mantra (P) empowered Inspire (E) is shield plus speed on the exact beat you flank in with Lightning Rush (E).

The Box (R) shuts the exits with a 99% slow, so anyone trying to leave the storm stays in it. And the Dark Passage (W) lantern is the way back out when you flank in and Lightning Rush (E) is already spent getting there.
