Tahm Kench Matchups Overview
Tahm Kench General information
Tahm Kench tips and tricks
Activate your E during the skirmish with the enemy so they have to go through your health bar twice. Activate it before the enemy disengages from the fight.
If your carries are strong, default to using your Ultimate R to peel and protect them. Keeping them alive in a late-game fight is very important if they’re going to carry.
By keeping the wave closer to your side of the map in the early game, you will be able to farm easily and avoid dying to ganks.
