Viego vs Kindred

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Viego should focus on controlled skirmishes in river where lane priority can secure the first takedown for resets.
Avoid isolated early fights before item power spikes as Kindred's ranged kiting punishes melee duels without support.

Jungle Plan

Start with a clear path that allows quick access to river Scuttle and camps near lanes with priority to enable skirmishes.
Contest river vision and Scuttle only when your lanes can assist to secure resets and objective control.
Track Kindred's mark spawns and pathing to counter-jungle safely and deny scaling marks without risking overextension.

Danger windows

Avoid river fights before your level 6 and first item spike where Kindred's ranged damage and (E) execute threaten lethal trades.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite contests where Kindred's (R) can reset fights and turn tides.
Respect fights where Kindred has lane priority and vision control, as they can kite and disengage effectively.

Early game

Prioritize a stable first clear to reach level 3 and contest the first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades unless you have vision and lane support to prevent Kindred's ranged poke and mobility from punishing you.
Use (E) to approach river fights stealthily and set up ganks when lanes can collapse on Kindred.

Power spikes

At level 6, (R) enables execution and resets; look for low-health targets to start chain kills and snowball.
First fighter item spike boosts sustained dueling and reset potential; fight around lanes with priority to convert kills into objectives.
Use (W) stun to initiate fights where you can isolate targets and avoid extended fights where Kindred can kite.

Win conditions

Convert early skirmish resets into dragon and Rift Herald control by leveraging lane priority and vision dominance.
Use (E) camouflage and (W) stun to create unpredictable gank angles and force Kindred off marks and camps.
Snowball takedowns into counter-jungling to deny Kindred's scaling marks and limit their objective control.
