Agony's Embrace

Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (1,308 games).

Evelynn, Agony's Embrace, hides in Demon Shade out of combat and, after level 6, stays camouflaged until she strikes; Allure charms the target she marks. Almost every counted Master+ Evelynn ran Electrocute, and both of her printed item paths start with Lich Bane.

Counter plan — how to beat Evelynn

Deny the reset — it wants a kill to come back out; a warded exit removes it
Dodge the primary — its rotation is one skillshot; sidestep it and the rest is chip
Punish the cooldown — Evelynn is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 10/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Why, in Riot's words
Evelynn is among the worst-performing assassins after season start. Many assassins are now weaker in uncoordinated play due to Eyeball Collector being replaced with more vision-centric runes and we're working on bringing the weakest outliers back up where they belong. Evelynn is up first here, where we're providing her some better in-combat move speed and reliable late-game burst damage to help her assassinate better.

Riot's tips for Evelynn

Playing Evelynn

Allure's arm time might seem long, but the Charm and magic resist shred put Evelynn at an exteme advantage so are worth the wait.
While stealthed, pay attention to when you are (near) being detected by enemy champions. This is identified by the glowing yellow and red eyes over nearby enemy champions.
If at low health, you can take advantage of Demon Shade's healing and Camouflage to return to the fight and surprise opponents.

Playing against Evelynn

Purchasing Vision Wards can help you detect Evelynn's location in order to prepare for her ambushes.
A large share of Evelynn's threat is in her charm, 'Allure.' Protect allies marked with 'Allure' or, if you are marked, make sure allies are between you and where Evelynn may attack from.
If you suspect Evelynn is about to ambush one of your teammates, let them know by pinging the minimap and typing in chat.

Evelynn's story

Within the dark seams of Runeterra, the demon Evelynn searches for her next victim. She lures in prey with the voluptuous façade of a human female, but once a person succumbs to her charms, Evelynn's true form is unleashed. She then subjects her victim to unspeakable torment, gratifying herself with their pain. To the demon, these liaisons are innocent flings. To the rest of Runeterra, they are ghoulish tales of lust gone awry and horrific reminders of the cost of wanton desire.

Methodology

Data window: Preview sample — a one-time snapshot of 65,406 ranked games (Master+, EUW/KR/NA, patch 26.18), counted by GamGem while our Riot production key is under review. Figures will update daily once it is approved. Counted 26–27 Sept 2026; patches 26.18 (35,477) · 26.19 (18,580) · 26.17 (11,048) · 26.16 (293) · 26.15 (8); by server EUW 22,382 · KR 21,922 · NA 21,065 · EUNE 20 · TR 17. 642 games without a result — remakes ended by vote in their first minutes, and games recorded with no winner — were not counted.
Rank aggregation: Master, Grandmaster and Challenger, pooled — the three ladders the count read its players from. Splitting further leaves samples too small to separate a real effect from noise.
Role assignment: A champion is filed under every lane that holds at least a tenth of its counted games — the position the match itself reports, not the champion’s class. Its headline win rate is across all of them; each lane’s own win rate and games are counted too, and a lane’s tier list ranks by them.
Counters: The two champions in the same position on opposite teams, over that pairing’s own counted games — ranked on the edge pulled toward zero by its sample size, printed raw.
Minimum sample: None — no figure is hidden for being thin. Every rate prints its games, and the confidence band is its 95% margin: Very High within ±1.5 points, High ±2.5, Moderate ±3.1 (1,000 games), Low wider.
Why a build is not a cause: An item is counted when the match ENDS with it, so late items show long games and an item bought when already ahead shows games that were being won. Correlation is what a rate can show; it is not evidence that buying the item caused the win.
Where the numbers come from: Names, classes, abilities, items and runes are Riot Data Dragon. Win, pick and ban rates, builds, keystones, spells and matchups are counted by GamGem from Riot's ranked match records. An estimate, not a count: this panel is not in the preview sample, and is labelled so.
