Overview

This build was created by Hydration. To find it in game, search for "Mobalytics - Kelvin by Hydration" (BuildID: 17516)

Kelvin can be played as a utility poke “mage” with high mobility and map presence. In this build, we will focus on taking advantage of the power of his Frost Grenade.

Early Game

  • Buy High-Velocity Mag as your first item to help you secure and deny souls.

  • Hollow Point Ward into Headshot Booster, Mystic Burst and Extra Charge to establish a strong lane presence and kill pressure! 

  • Close Quarters, Extra Health, and Extra Spirit will continue to push your early tempo.

  • Sprint Boots allows you to zip around the map, combine that with Ice Path and you can become a ganking machine.

Late Game

  • At this point decide whether you want to commit to Spirit or Weapon depending on your team’s damage spread and enemy team’s resistances.

  • Upgrade Headhunter, Pristine Emblem and Point Blank if you have no slots, otherwise Hunter's Aura and Alchemical Fire are great items for fighting enemies inside your Frozen Shelter.

  • If you decide to focus more on Spirit, upgrade Improved Spirit and Superior Cooldown, then begin saving up for Mystic Reverb, Boundless Spirit, and Echo Shard.

Situational Items

  • Mystic Reverb helps you slow down the enemy team while also making your poke stronger.

  • Boundless Spirit is a very solid item and will make you a lot stronger while also making your healing much more efficient.

  • Echo Shard is the best option for increasing your burst potential, use it after throwing out a Frost Grenade.

  • Siphon Bullets is one the best 6200 Vitality items on Kelvin, it deals a lot of damage while also making you much harder to kill with the healing output Kelvin provides.
