How The Rank 1 Kindred DOMINATES Games
Perry Norman plays Kindred in League of Legends using the 4-mark strategy, explaining how securing just the first four marks gives a 75-range bonus that lets you dominate early. He focuses on crab control and smite duels to guarantee marks, then builds Serylda's Dirk into Recurve Bow for lethality and attack speed before transitioning to Kraken Slayer.
Oh, thank you.
Hey guys, it's Perry. I learned that Kindred only needs 4 marks to 1v9 games. Apparently the rank 1 Kindred player was talking about this. I saw it on some clip, and we're going to follow that advice and truly play for 4 marks and 4 marks only, and not in our game for more marks. More marks are just a bonus. If you guys don't know, the moment you get all 4 of your marks, you get 75 bonus range, and I think that's all you really need. Like, in all honesty, like, the extra 25 range at your 7th mark Isn't going to be that drastic to your gameplay. And another big reason that Forma Rites are so powerful is because your spells, your Q, W, E, are just a lot stronger, significantly stronger. Now we have this really fucked up situation here, but I win the smite fight anyway, which is— I'm very, very happy that I win the smite fight. Otherwise my game gets extremely hard. So it's just a complete coin flip. Um, who has better ping, who has better like reaction speed on like what's happening, but because I win, my game is not completely cooked. If I lost that there, I would have to blow flash. I would have probably lived, but it would have been so fucking bad. So today the world has decided that the Hecarim, like, it's not gonna just completely shit on me and win the game. We also have a really good comp. We have like double frontline. We have a Yunara Kindred and And the only issue is we have no AP, but I think that's fine. When you have like carries like this that can go index into LDR and then it can index into like more damage, you're, you're, you're chilling. Another big thing that the rank 1 Kindred player did mention is that you want a Serylda Dirk early on. Uh, it was pretty interesting. I'm like, okay, so I'll try it. I'll see how it feels. I'll see how, um, a, a Serylda Dirk early Like, what does that look like for us? What I'm trying to do is I'm just trying to keep my conditions good for one of the crabs. The crabs, hopefully I win the 50/50, right? But the crabs are where you get a guaranteed mark if you can win the 50/50. Right now, Kindred's probably— or the Hecarim's probably clearing top down. Let's try to keep our HP relatively high by cutting the blue buff. And then let's look for the bot crab here. We have bot crab.
Oh, I'm dead.
prio, so I'm happy with this. Do I win the 50/50? No, the 50/50 is top lane. What I'll do then is I'll drop a ward here and I'll run through mid lane and I'll go straight to the top crab. We just— we want the mark extremely badly as a number one priority. The top priority is going to be the mark here. I don't actually give a— wait, actually, hold on, I think this guy just wins. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! But this guy's win wall, bro. Holy shit! My kind my my Camille missed. Everything there. I wonder if the top crab is actually up. I don't know. Did the yeah, the top crab is not even taken. What the hell? So everything here is just fucking awesome. And did you also not have flash there, guys? Because that guy just like just decided to not flash. Is my mark also my W also lost his mind? Okay. Holy shit! Everything is just going so good, so good for us right now. I am like so happy. We got two marks. And we have a really good game state ahead of ourselves. I'm scared of this Yasuo coming. Don't come to me. Let's look for a recall here. And if this Hecarim decides to continuously do dumb shit, he might leave this crab up. And if that crab is left up with the mark, honestly, I could have dropped the Krugs and gone for this crab because the crab has not been taken. And if that crab isn't taken, that, that means that it's, it's gonna spawn my mark. Uh, I'll recall and I'll try to run there as fast as I possibly can. As fast as, as fast as humanly possible. But this kind of looks really interesting, this angle here. My mid laner is buying full defensive stats with the Chain Vest, which is cool. Let's buy that Dirk. Let's go for a Recurve Bow here. And the reason for the Recurve Bow is I want to utilize the lethality and auto attack them more. We can go for double Longsword too, but you want some attack speed for sure while you're playing.
Kindred.
Kindred. I'm gonna walk here and I'm gonna see if the crab is up. The crab might not be up. If the crab's not up, I'm just gonna hit my camps. It's fine. Wow, these guys are fucking lost. And that's why you don't take the crab right away. You run straight to the top side and play for this crab just in case the enemy jungler— like, he's just blundering. He's like blunder after blunder after blunder. We have 3 marks at 5 minutes, by the way.
Nice peel.
We have so many marks here. My Yunaro and me can just keep autoing here. And they're all just fucking dead. And this Hecarim just lost his mind. The Hecarim's just lost his mind. This Hecarim was like, bro, this Kindred has so many marks. Come fight and come coin flip again on a camp, and— or, or GG. And it's just GG because like, what, what are they doing? Like, I, I have— I'm playing Kindred. I'm playing Kindred level, like, with my E. How can you outsmite Kindred E? As Hecarim, that guy's literally losing his fucking mind. The hell? Okay, the only funky thing here is if— like, this guy feels so weird at this point, the way that Hecarim is playing. I want to drop a ward there just, just because like you never know. You can never be so sure that this guy's not going to invade you or do something dumb. It's always better to be safe than sorry when it's like, oh, it's too late for Fuck, I lost my red buff. This guy maybe kills me. Things get really bad. It's, it's better to always be safe. I'm gonna play for this 4th mark here. My top lane should have control, but the big thing is I have a bigger Smite here. So I should probably be able to just— oh, they did the dragon. Oh, anyway, okay, so they did the dragon, so it doesn't even matter. They also used flash. Okay, I mean, their, their guy was literally in the bot side. This is gonna get a little scary. Let's finish this and then let's run.
An enemy has been slain.
Yeah, I told you it's getting a little scary. They're showing up.
Eventually.
But I want to go back to the bot side now, grab the bot crab, grab that bot crab, grab the bot side control, and then we're almost at our Kraken Slayer. We have 4 marks, so now we don't care about marks at all. We just want to play a good game of League of Legends at this— from this point on.
Savor life's cozy couch.
Okay, this guy has like not enough damage just yet because he's just kind of behind. So I'm confident that we can like do something relatively aggressive there, and this guy is just completely cooked because of that. What I want to do as well is this, this Hecarim, he actually gave my Malphite red buff. Never mind. If he, if he didn't give my Malphite red buff, I would have thought that his red buff is up and I would have gone to play for it there. But he actually has it, so there's no point in going for the invade because we already own the red buff. Oh, I could have gone for this. I was thinking about it after the crab going over, but again, like, there's no need to risk or greed for marks. Like, we can just full clear all of our camps here and complete our entire item. Now, if the Hecarim is on the The top side and he's on the grubs. We'll know in about a few seconds here if my mark despawns on the Krugs. So if my mark despawns on the Krugs, he's definitely up there. If not, then yeah, so he is up here. That's fine. I'm gonna defend all my top camps as a priority. And I'm gonna go ahead and just say like, this is all good. Let's grab all of our camps. And let's grab everything. Let's recall. Let's get our Kraken Slayer after our recall, and then we can, we can still play for the mark afterwards. But this is what it— this is what it's like to like just play a nice solid game around the first 4 marks, and then everything else is like— look, I'm almost 10 CS per minute, and I'm the most CS in the game. Actually, holy shit, they're mid and ADC farming well. But I'm the most CS on my team, which is, which is good at least. And at this point, now that we have our Item, we can go ahead and play very aggressively. Yone is also cooking. Yone has a Kraken Slayer. Yone can do whatever the fuck she wants. Beautiful stuff all around there. Okay, she also has no flash.
Nice. All who run are mine.
Cool, we can also play for this now. Like, you can still play— oh fuck, hold on. My Lulu has everything here. Oh my, if my Lulu like used spells on me a little earlier, we would have been able to kill that guy too. I do have my ulti. Okay, these guys are just fucking losing their minds. Like, the Kindred's actually lost his mind. Sorry, not the Kindred, the, uh, the Hecarim. He's actually lost his mind. He thinks he can do that again. Why? Why would you— why would you think that? Like, I'm not gonna do the exact same thing I did to you last time when your ulti's up. And their bot lane's like trying to help the Hecarim over and over and over again, and they're just losing it. Okay, let's keep farming all of our camps. Play again a natural, normal game. Full clear towards the top side, 10 CS per minute. And from this point on in the game, like, we're just chilling. Well, there's no need to pressure and like go crazy. We just play a normal game, and I actually really like this way of playing. I've tried telling people in the past, like, don't enter a game for marks, but this is a real good example of us— of this, like, happening. Oh my God. I'm just farming my camps on spawn, and then when the enemies make big, big, big mistakes, then I'll go in and I'll play for— I'll play for more. I'll play for more marks. Like, like, essentially you play a natural, normal game, and then when the enemies Giga mess up, then take, take, take it, take the next thing, take the invade, take the, take the next camps, take their whole family. Like, um, by that, by the next time in the game, if you're playing natural and they're inting, well, you can just do whatever you want then. Um, and so this is not a real, really like amazing representation of like what it means to play for 4 marks and chill, but I've just been farming and farming and farming, and I'm still almost no CS on my team. Uh, and I have 8 marks, and my goal has never been mark, mark, mark, mark, mark. I'm kind of just playing the first mark. Okay, be intentional, be smart about that, and then the rest of the game is just kind of history. If Hecarim re— uh, re-comes here, that'll be crazy. No, he doesn't. Okay, what we're going to do is— he goes top lane. Okay, no, he doesn't have flash. Rest in pieces. Whoa, but this Ornn is cooked. I think we can recall here now. We can go to the bot side. My Malphite is, is cooking right now. Bang! Oh shit, no, nice try. Malphite is too squishy, bro. Or too, too weak. Okay, my Malphite is literally so tanky. I have so much range. Okay, we have the mark on Jinx here. We can take all the camps, then we can go for the objective after. I'm gonna save my W so I can use my W on the Krugs. We can also use it— we can also just go kill these guys bot lane. Give me the kill, I want the mark.
Beautiful.
I have 9 marks right now, guys. This is going to be our 10th, and then the Herald is going to be our next one after. I was wondering if the Sekhmet would walk up too far forward and get, get himself killed, but he didn't. Okay, so my Camille actually died there. I think the person we mark is— we just save it. I think right now we just save our next mark because they're all, they're all inting equally. We don't know who it's going to— who is going to int the most in the next sequence, so I think we just save it. Like, for example, here Yasuo is overstaying for this wave, which means that he is absolutely greedy and disrespecting. I do have a Lulu on me though.
Not here, not now.
Okay, it should be fine. They're all just cooked. They're just cooked. I have 11 marks and I'm— I have so much gold. This game is just so awful for them. And they FF. Yeah. I mean, an absolute masterclass. Like, the early game was beautiful. The Hecarim lost his mind. We tilted that guy. Like, everything in this game just went very well. And I mean, that was a beautiful game. That was actually a beautiful game. I don't think I've had a more beautiful Kindred game than that in a minute. So I hope you guys genuinely did enjoy that game. That was fun as fuck. If you guys want more resources, of course, junglekingdom.gg has everything. you could ever ask for. Um, auto-reviewer, fun games that improve your knowledge, coaches, et cetera. Take a look. And otherwise, I'll see you guys in the next video. Peace, peace.
