Kelvin can apply tremendous map presence as well as being very good at bailing out teammates, his healing power is unmatched.

Early Game

  • Close Quarters makes you a menace in lane as Kelvin has one of the strongest early game guns in the game.
  • Mystic Burst and Extra Charge will give you strong lane presence and kill pressure.
  • Extra Regen is very nice to have and can be bought earlier, eventually you will upgrade this into Healing Tempo.
  • Extra Stamina will be later upgraded into Arcane Surge to help you get better Frozen Shelter.
  • Quicksilver Reload imbued on your Frost Grenade is extremely necessary due to Kelvin's low ammo count.
  • Battle Vest and Extra Health will make you harder to kill.
  • Fleetfoot allows you to zip around the map, combine that with Ice Path and you can become a ganking machine.
  • Healing Booster is a good item to upgrade if lacking flex slots.
