Evelynn must survive early jungle pressure and avoid risky invades before level 6 due to weak early dueling and low invade resistance.
Focus on full clearing safely and use post-6 camouflage to create picks and flank in river fog rather than contesting early Scuttle or fighting Hecarim directly.
Jungle Plan
Start with a full clear path to hit level 6 quickly and avoid early counter-jungling by Hecarim's faster clear speed.
Contest Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to support and reduce risk of Hecarim's counter-engage.
After level 6, use camouflage to cross-map and punish overextended or isolated lanes before objectives, focusing on pick pressure rather than direct fights.
Danger windows
Early jungle clears at low health are risky due to Hecarim's faster clear speed and potential invade.
Isolated river fights before Evelynn hits 6 are dangerous; avoid contesting objectives without lane priority or vision control.
Beware of Hecarim's (R) fear engage during objective setups, especially when lanes lack vision or are overextended.
Early game
Prioritize clean full clears to reach level 6 without disruption, avoiding low-health river paths vulnerable to Hecarim's fast clears and ganks.
Avoid fighting for the first Scuttle unless a nearby lane has clear priority and can assist with counter-ganks.
Track Hecarim's pathing to anticipate his ganks and counter-gank when lanes push or overextend, leveraging Evelynn's post-6 gank threat.
Power spikes
Evelynn's level 6 camouflage and (W) charm unlock high gank threat and pick potential; use this to pressure side lanes and river fog.
Hecarim's mid-game power spike with (R) fear engage and high mobility requires Evelynn to respect his engage range and avoid isolated fights.
Evelynn's AP scaling post-6 makes her stronger in skirmishes if she can approach undetected and burst priority targets.
Win conditions
Survive early game by full clearing and avoiding Hecarim's invade pressure until level 6.
Use post-6 camouflage to create picks on overextended or isolated enemies, translating kills into objective control like dragon and Rift Herald.
Cross-map with stealth to counter-gank and deny Hecarim's tempo, then scale into a high-impact AP assassin who controls flank angles in teamfights.
Tip: For Evelynn vs Hecarim, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Jungle lane check.
