Karthus vs Evelynn

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Focus on full clearing efficiently to leverage Karthus's superior clear speed and scaling over Evelynn.
Avoid early river fights and invades where Evelynn's mobility and stealth create high risk.
Prioritize tracking Evelynn's pathing to prevent her from punishing isolated lanes post-level 6.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears toward safe camps and only contest Scuttle when lane priority supports it.
Use fast clear speed to cycle camps and reach item spikes before Evelynn can pressure objectives.
Avoid direct early fights; instead, punish Evelynn's overextensions or low-health lanes with (R) after skirmishes.

Danger windows

Early game river fights and invades when Karthus's health is low and Evelynn can capitalize on mobility.
Forced smite fights at objectives without vision control increase risk of Evelynn's picks.
Post-6 Evelynn flank attempts in fog of war create high counter-gank danger if Karthus is isolated.

Early game

Start with a full clear path that avoids low-health river entrances to reduce Evelynn's early invade threat.
Delay contesting first Scuttle unless nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Use wards to track Evelynn's early movements and ping lanes to prepare for potential counter-jungling or ganks.

Power spikes

Level 6: Use (R) to impact fights globally and finish off low-health enemies across the map.
First AP item: Cycle camps quickly to arrive at objectives first and increase damage threat.
Evelynn's post-6 stealth and charm require respecting her flank angles and avoiding isolated fights.

Win conditions

Convert faster clear speed into objective control by arriving early with vision and setup.
Use (R) to punish Evelynn's overextensions and low-health lanes after skirmishes.
Track Evelynn to avoid her stealth picks and use superior scaling and global damage to influence teamfights and secure late-game wins.
