Why this duo works

A likely high-elo synergy is that Nautilus can keep one target controlled long enough for Kindred to land Mounting Dread's three-hit pounce. Kindred's ultimate can also extend an engage, but its timing matters because it protects enemies in the zone as well.

Measured in High Elo: this duo wins 1.5pp more often than expected over 1,023 games.

Playing the duo

Nautilus's crowd control can give Kindred time to land the three attacks needed for Mounting Dread's pounce; Lamb's Respite prevents deaths in its area, including enemies, until it ends.

How to play as Kindred

Follow Nautilus's lockdown with Mounting Dread, and time Lamb's Respite so it protects your team without giving the trapped enemy a free reset.

How to play as Nautilus

Call the target before engaging so Kindred can follow with Mounting Dread; coordinate crowd control around Lamb's Respite because it keeps enemies alive too.
