Tahmkench Support guide

Tahm Kench support is a peel tank built around Tongue Lash (Q), Devour (R), and Thick Skin (E): stack An Acquired Taste (passive) with Tongue Lash pokes, then use Devour to shield an ally out of danger or swallow an overextended enemy while Thick Skin banks damage into a shield for his carry.

The build

Rune page: Grasp of the Undying, Shield Bash, Second Wind, and Unflinching (Resolve), with Legend: Alacrity and Triumph (Precision). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Tongue Lash (Q), then Abyssal Dive (W), then Thick Skin (E), maxing Tongue Lash (Q) first with Abyssal Dive (W) second. Starter: two Health Potions, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Heartsteel, Thornmail, and Spirit Visage.

Ability mechanics

Tongue Lash (Q) damages and slows the first unit hit, heals Tahm Kench off champion hits, and applies a stack of An Acquired Taste (passive); the third stack turns the next Tongue Lash (Q) into a stun that consumes the stacks. Devour (R) swallows a champion for a few seconds, dealing magic damage to an enemy or shielding an ally. Thick Skin (E) stores incoming damage while out of combat and converts the stored total into a shield on demand.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Senna, Seraphine, Thresh, Nami, Leona. Best matchups: Karma, Nautilus, Lulu.
