About The Author

Hello, I'm CyaNoqeN. I'm a new author in MOBAFire and this is my first build. My account is in the Bronze Division I. Kennen is my main champion now, I like Pikachu and I wanted to make his build.

Farming, Teamfights and Other Tactics

Kennen has a strong poke with his . As you know, he is an energy champion. So you can harass the enemy infinitely. His stun combo is very useful. You can fire a , then a and a . If neccesary, you can use your awesome ultimate, the -its name is so awesome- you can burst and kill your enemy easily. Also you can use your for escaping. This makes him ungankable. Also, you can farm with your combo. It makes Kennen the farm king of the game. Some people says is the king of farming, but i don't think the same. In Teamfights, you can use your combo with your ultimate, and activate for being the brightest star of Teamfights. You'll damage enemies, also you get triples, quadras, pentas... But you'll take no damage from them. This makes Kennen awesome.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

Cons:

I prefer Flash and Ignite. You can escape with Flash and you can burn the enemy with Ignite unless you kill enemy. But you can select Ghost or Cleanse if you want. Ghost has a synergy with the . Cleanse closes the "easily crowd controlled" gap.
