Kindred kites away Nunu's Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) engage and Absolute Zero (R) channel with Dance of Arrows (Q) dashes, steadily harassing with ranged autos and Mounting Dread (E)'s target-health-scaling damage.

Kindred slips Sion's linear Decimating Smash (Q) and predictable Unstoppable Onslaught (R) charge with the Wolf's Frenzy (W) zone and Dance of Arrows (Q) dashes, whittling him down from range so he can't stick.

Kindred kites away Mundo's only gap-closer, Infected Bonesaw (Q), and melts the tank with ranged autos and Mounting Dread (E)'s target-health-scaling damage.

Skarner cuts off Kindred's kiting with Ixtal's Impact (E)'s dash and stun, sticks relentlessly, and locks her down with Impale (R); the early-duel-weak Kindred can't hold.

Tantrum (E) constantly reduces Kindred's Mark of the Kindred (P)-based auto damage, and Despair (W)'s %-health damage wins trades. Once her Dance of Arrows (Q) dashes are spent, Bandage Toss (Q) plus Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) pin her down and CC kills her before Lamb's Respite (R) even activates.

In a jungle 1v1 Kindred is isolated, triggering Kha'Zix's isolation bonus, and Leap (E) plus evolved Taste Their Fear (Q) burst deletes her before she can even start kiting.

From a bush or a Thrill of the Hunt (R) stealth leap he closes instantly and bursts down the squishy Kindred with empowered Savagery (Q) and Battle Roar (W) before she can begin kiting.

Zed closes instantly with Living Shadow (W), bursts the squishy Kindred with the Shadow Slash (E)–Razor Shuriken (Q) combo and Death Mark (R), and ignores the Lamb's Respite (R) zone by re-closing distance with Living Shadow (W).
