Tips for Playing as Naafiri with Kennen

Across the sands of Shurima, a chorus of howls rings out. It is the call of the dune hounds, voracious predators who form packs and compete for the right to hunt in these barren lands. Among them, one pack stands above all, for they are driven not only by canine instincts, but by the ancient power of the Darkin.

Advice to Understand How Kennen Will Play

You can land an initial Mark of the Storm debuff on an opponent with Thundering Shuriken, and then add to it with Electrical Surge.

Lightning Rush can be used to initiate fights with its Energy return component, allowing him to use other abilities afterward.

You can stun your opponents by inflicting 3 Marks of the Storm upon them.
