Fiddlesticks vs Kindred

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears to hit level 6 before forcing fights against Kindred's early pressure.
Use vision control around river and objectives to leverage (R) ambushes and deny Kindred's marks.
Focus on teamfight impact and objective control rather than early dueling or direct invades.

Jungle Plan

Execute a full clear and secure vision control before contesting marks or river objectives.
Fight for dragon or Rift Herald only after reaching level 6 and setting up fog with (R).
Track Kindred's pathing to counter-gank when they pressure lanes early, especially if they overextend for marks.

Danger windows

Early river fights before level 6 are dangerous due to Kindred's mobility and ranged dueling.
Avoid low-health clears near contested objectives where Kindred can force smite fights.
Be cautious when Kindred has lane priority enabling them to invade or collapse on you with support.

Early game

Start with a full clear path to maximize tempo and avoid early river fights where Kindred can kite and punish.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority to support a safe fight.
Avoid early invades; reset for control wards and sweepers before setting up around dragon or Herald.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to ambush and turn objective fights in your favor; force Kindred to respect your engage.
Kindred spikes with (R) fight resets and ranged sustained damage; avoid extended fights without vision control.
Your very high clear speed grants tempo advantage; use this to dictate objective timing and force Kindred into reactive play.

Win conditions

Convert your level 6 power spike into objective control by denying vision and ambushing with (R) in fog.
Use your superior clear speed to maintain jungle tempo, counter-jungle safely, and force Kindred into defensive paths.
Coordinate ganks post-6 leveraging fear (Q) and silence (E) to secure kills and snowball teamfights.
