Mark of the Kindred
INNATE: Both Lamb and Wolf mark targets to hunt. Scoring a takedown on a marked target permanently empowers Lamb's basic attacks to deal 1.25% of her target's current health bonus on-hit physical damage, stacking with each mark consumed. The bonus damage is capped at 75 versus monsters.
LAMB - ENEMY CHAMPIONS: Lamb is offered a selection of champions to take down, which is hidden while in combat. Once selected, there's an 8 second delay before the mark can be collected and Lamb can change her target after 90 seconds, if the target hasn't died in that time. Targets successfully hunted cannot be targeted again for some time.
WOLF - ENEMY MONSTERS: Wolf periodically selects a random monster camp within the enemy's jungle, excluding epic monsters, and highlights the camp to both teams, starting at 2:30. This ends upon acquiring 6 stacks.The mark is removed upon the monster camp's death even if Kindred are not involved.

Ability Combos and Jungle clearing

Well when starting just about anywhere, lane or jungle. I like to startW for the lane control if the enemy gets to cozy trying to farm, though its a small amount of dmg, its still Good free damage being dealt to them without return. Some cheeky mates might wanna try and fight you, but youre simply going to out dmg them, especially if you start kiting them as well and stack up W's passive heal.
Youre still going to max out your Q because it will still be your main source of damage from your abilities.
Max E second due to the explosive pop damage done from the third proc, its like a glorified vayne proc.

~Full Combo~
(Optional, Auto first)Q dash, E slow, Bork Active for extra slowing,
W for Q reset, Q dash, auto, Q dash, auto.
pop the ult if you become dangerously low or if youre getting dove, it kinda ****s up their day cuz its like, either run and risk dying from the tower and you, or stay and try to kill you after the ults down, but either way, it aint gonna be a good outcome for them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When jungleing with Kindred, its very optimal to start with yourW due to the "dot" damage from wolf and the passive heal you get from moving around; so when clearing, its always good to be kiting the camps for the heal.
For taking down camps, Auto, Q,
W for the reset on Q, and continue kiting around the camp with Q and autos for the most amount of damage out put with the least amount of damage taken; they have to keep chasing you and they cant auto you as much, PLUS, youre getting a small heal from your W passive.

Ganking

When Ganking a lane, do not ever try to 'Force a gank'. Forcing a gank is basically trying to gank someone who isnt over extended or if theyre just in a very defensive position and not very low.
So when you do find that lane thats either Overextended, Low, or walking in to counter gank; try to do theQ,E,
W,Q combo as it destroys their hp bar, making for a very effective gank.
You either have to in a way assassinate our target or just get them low enough for your allies to pick off because of your minimal CC capabilities.

If counter ganking, try to go for the opponent with either less hp, is deeper in the lane, or with low defensive stats to ensure they target dies.
