Tahm Kench vs Camille

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Tahm Kench must manage short melee trades to build passive stacks and avoid Camille's high mobility engages.
Prioritize lane control by denying Camille safe access to terrain angles for (E) and avoid giving her free side-lane pressure.
This is a control vs splitpush matchup where Tahm Kench aims to survive and punish Camille's overextensions.

Trading pattern

Engage in repeated short trades to build three passive stacks, then use (Q) to slow or stun Camille.
Use (E) to absorb Camille's burst damage after she commits her second (Q) trade.
Punish Camille if she misses (E) by stepping forward to apply pressure and stack trades.

Danger windows

Camille is most dangerous when (E) is ready from terrain angles for engage or escape; avoid overcommitting during this time.
Beware of Camille's level 6 (R) lockdown, which can trap you and negate your ability to disengage.
Tahm Kench is vulnerable when passive stacks are low and (E) gray health shield is depleted; avoid extended trades then.

Early game

Use (Q) to stack passive and threaten a slow or stun before Camille can safely trade.
Absorb Camille's burst with (E) gray health shield and avoid extended fights before your first tank item.
Avoid fighting when (E) is off cooldown or when her second (Q) true damage is ready.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) allows Tahm Kench to isolate Camille or save allies, use it decisively to control fights.
First tank item increases your durability and gray health shield, enabling safer short trades and stack pressure.
Respect Camille's first sheen item spike, which powers her second (Q) true damage and makes her short trades more threatening.

Win conditions

Win by consistently landing (Q) stuns with full passive stacks and absorbing Camille's retaliation with (E).
Use (R) to isolate Camille or protect allies from her all-in, turning skirmishes in your favor.
Deny Camille terrain angles and side-lane pressure to prevent her from leveraging (E) and (R) for picks.
