How to play it

✓

Respect his E escape

Lightning Rush is his only escape: while it's up he can't be caught, so hold your run-down for when it's on cooldown.

✓

Run him down E-down

When his E is down he can't get away: run him down; at level 9 your E+AA+W+Q+R+AA one-shots if you're even or ahead.

✓

Farm to 3, then trade

Farm till level 3 and let the wave come to you; poke with Q and short-trade with E: you hard-outsustain his poke.

✕

Never group into a 5v5 with Kennen: he's far better in fights; take him to the side lane instead.

Darius vs Kennen in Top lane is a favourable lane on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: you can't catch him while his E is up, wait for it to be down before you commit.
