Akali
If you're against a great Akali's player, be careful and dont be greedy. Because of her dash and smoke she can kill you easily. Use your charm as a bluff to make her use her smoke, and if she dont u can have a good trade.

INTRODUCTION
Hello and welcome to my guide!
I'm Qveen Evelynn in EUW server. Also, english is not my native lenguage so i'm sorry if i make some mistakes, or if some parts of my guide are unclear.
For a quick presentation i will say that i'm an

My first main was obviously


About my rank, i hit gold 4 in s11, i climbed pretty easily even if my pick wasnt perfect at this time. That was my goal so i stopped after it. The fact is i never play ranked, i usually do drafts. I played ranked a little bit in S12 to get the belveth icon and emote : i went to Silver 2.
In this guide i will tell you about Evelynn strenghts in toplane, how you're supposed to build her and to play, and how you're supposed to carry your team.
EVELYNN AND HER ABILITIES
fighting potential: Really good duelist
Speciality: Fast

![]() |
|
HATE SPIKE (Q): This is the main ![]() |
![]() |
|
ALLURE (W): This is an important tool of ![]() |
![]() |
|
WHIPLASH (E): This is a dash, really usefull on evelynn to close the distance with your target. If you use your dash in the same time as the enemy dash or flash away, it will follow. You also get a movement speed bonus which is really usefull to stay close to the enemy, or just escape (you can use it on minions to get the movement speed, to catch your oponent or escape) |
![]() |
|
LAST CARESS (R): The evelynn's ultimate, it is a finisher really usefull to kill and relocate yourself. Or if you're in danger it's a good dodge or escape. For example you can dodge an ultimate as shown hereor just dodge a tower shot. |

SUMMONERS

The choice of your sums depends on you playstyle i guess.

RUNES

Those runes helps you to be an amazing duelist in toplane. All you have to do is to proc your conqueror super fast and let the magic do the rest ~
Against


MYTHIC CHOICE
|
LANING AND COMBO
| LVL 1 |
Evelynn top is one of the strongest duelist at lvl 1.
-You can spam your Q (extremely low couldown) and proc conqueror super fast.
--> This gives you stupidely big damages ! (+ when you spam your Qs you can dodge your oponent comp, since your 3 last Q procs don't need you to focus on your aim.)
If you need, don't hesitate to use the bushes, play with the vision.
1Q = 8 Stacks. You only need 2 more auto attacks to proc it full.
At lvl 1 you want to put your balls on the table, and show who is the boss here. Your oponent will probably try to fight you back (he well probably try to engage you too, thinking you are a poor little weak thing.) so : DESTROY THEM.
You can have the first blood easily with

You can use this at your advantage to freeze and farm in peace.
| LVL 2-5 |
Now you have two types of combo to do here.
The first one : Q+ instant W (proc the slow when the Q hit your target) + 3qs and E and run away.
This is more like a poke combo you slow your oponent to gap close him, you damage him and then you runaway with you E movespeed. If you can get a kill obvi you can stay and keep using your Q.
The second one : (you're close to your oponent) Q + aa and other Qs + E + W (while you run around with E movespeed) + Q (proc the full charm) + aa and other Qs.
This is a full damages combo, do it when you have advantage on your oponent, and if he is coming too close to you when he should not. Do damage and load your charm while you recover your Q to use it and proc the charm. He can't escape to you thanks to your E movespeed that will help you to stay close to him and proc charm. Then you can do more damage and go away.
NB: out of thoses combos, if you're close to your oponent and he is hiding in minions to avoid your Q, proc the charm with your empowered E and then Q him.
You will back at LVL 3, don't overstay because this is the gank time. Also if you managed you wave well (slowpush) and have poked your oponent well (he is low) you can dive him at lvl 3 with your charm. (Charm + wait under tower without attacking trying to predict your oponend moves + Q (and other qs) + E and run away.

You just want to farm, freeze if you can to avoid ganks and being agressive if your oponent comes too close to you. You are the boss here don"t forget it !
If you're on a hard matchup or just being camped or in 0/10, just farm safe, freeze and scream help until your jungler come lmao. (Seriously just farm the best you can, and if they want to dive you try to outplay them with the charm. Even the slow can help. )
| LVL 6 AND MORE |
Now you are in stealth. This is the time to make the enemy team confused. Are you on lane? Are you roaming? Did you just back? Are you waiting your oponent to do one more step? Who knows? No one except you.
Are you inbisible around the creeps you are last hitting? Or are you closer to your oponent than he thinks? It's up to you, it's your moment to shine, to destroy your oponent even more.
You can use the bushes at your advantage! And if your oponent put a pink in a lane bush, you can brush against the walls to avoid it and kill your oponent by surprise.
Don't hesitate to do herald with your jungler if you have the lane advantage!
Also, if you're fed and are not low in mana/hp after killing your oponent : push and take some plates! (it will be fast when you'll have your luden.)
Pro tips: while auto attacking the tower : you can still use your Q to farm the incoming creeps!
You can use your ult as an escape or to relocate yourself after a trade (only in emergency). Most of the time you will use it to execute your oponent, you can easy dive with it.
You can roam if you're fed and have killed your oponent + pushed the wave (but i do not recommend you to do so, if you don"t trust your team it's an easy way to give a kill and throw)
MID/LATE
At first you want to stay in toplane. You will take the first tower and push to the second. Make sure to have vision before pushing too far. Also you can take some jungle camps : you want to always win gold.
So you will put pressure on top, some people will come to stop you (hey, isnt it the aim of splitpushing? )this will help your team doing objectives.
You want to do this until you have your seconde item (Lich). Why ? Because your team is probably feeding and you will need two items to fight those fed enemies. Only one item is not powerful enough to kill them.
Obvi if they are 5 mid and are hard pushing and taking towers because your team can't defend : you have to back and defend.
For the rest of the game you want to splitpush , pure pressure on lanes by pushing. Take picks if you can (you're still an assassin.) After rabadon you will just DESTROY towers with your attackspeed + lichbane proc.
If you can't splitpush, help your team doing objectives.
In Teamfights, you don't want to engage, let your team doing it, charm the carry and destroy him.

v12.20
-Hi, i don't have anything to update cause i don't have time to play atm. But i can say that the Evelynn's buffs should be pretty good on our toplane gameplay ;) have fun!

v12.10
-Hi i'm back,imo the damage reduction is a buff to my evelynn top and she can probably shine again. I'll play more and will try to update the matchup thing for next patch.-Added : Experimental bruiser build
v12.5
-Playing Evelynn top is still really hard atm. Go with electrocute, play safe and have a roaming playstyle. Help your jungler getting objectives such as scuttle or herald (drake by roaming mid and helping having the mid prio for exemple) , and help your midlaner.I also recommend you to play her in midlane with electrocute, you will have more impact than toplane. (Just play safe until 6, get kills if your opponent have a weak early, then at lvl 6 roam like a second jungler and help to secure objectives. Don't forget to manage your wave so you can come back pushing and taking cs.)
-I also deleted the "Experimental Evelynn tank build" and runes.
v12.3
-I don't have a lot to say, i feel like my Evelynn top is really bad atm. In the actual meta there is a lot of hard picks, some are playing with ignite (makes your life unfair), also the new lethal tempo is pretty annoying. Atm i'm trying to figure out new strategies to put Evelynn on the top again. You should maybe play her Electrocute and play safe instead of conqueror, and try to roam. When i'll have a new strategy, i will probably do a new guide chapter on it. I'm open to suggestions/advices, if any toplane pro are reading this. Thanks for following my guide, xoxo
