Hecarim vs Evelynn

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Hecarim's fast clear speed to maintain jungle tempo and pressure lanes that overextend early.
Prioritize river control and contest Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid Evelynn's counter-ganks.
This is a mid-game scaling duel where Hecarim must leverage early tempo and engage threat to deny Evelynn's stealth pick potential.

Jungle Plan

Full clear camps quickly toward lanes showing overextension to maximize gank threat and force Evelynn to play defensively.
Use Hecarim's superior mobility to counter-gank Evelynn's early attempts and punish her low early duel strength.
Reset tempo before dragon or Rift Herald to control objective entry and force fights where your ultimate can reach priority targets.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early where Evelynn can collapse with charm (W) and stealth for picks.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority, as Evelynn excels at flanking post-6 with her ultimate (R).
Low-health clears expose you to Evelynn's invades; back off or reset tempo if camps are weak before level 6.

Early game

Start with a full clear aiming to hit level 4 quickly and pressure lanes that push forward.
Avoid early river fights unless your lanes can assist, as Evelynn's early invade resistance is low but she punishes isolated fights.
Secure first Scuttle only if your lanes have lane priority to reduce counter-gank risk from Evelynn.

Power spikes

Hecarim's mid-game item and ultimate (R) power spike enables strong dive engages; use this to force objectives and teamfights.
Evelynn's level 6 stealth and charm (W) spike requires you to respect flank angles and maintain vision control.
Hecarim's early fast clear and (E) charge speed spike allows early counter-invades and skirmishes before Evelynn scales.

Win conditions

Convert fast clears and camp cycling into pressure on overextended lanes for ganks and counter-ganks.
Use ultimate (R) engages from fog of war to force objective fights, especially dragon and Rift Herald.
Deny Evelynn free farm and scaling by invading safely when lanes have priority, then snowball leads into teamfight initiation.
