Shadow Walk

Innate: Evelynn becomes camouflaged after being out-of-combat for 6 seconds, regenerating 1% maximum mana every second and ignoring unit collision. Entering combat or using an ability ends Shadow Walk, though not being seen by nearby enemy champions.

Current League

Demon Shade

When out of combat, Evelynn enters Demon Shade. Demon Shade heals Evelynn when she is low on health and grants Camouflage after level 6.

Coming from current LeaguePermanent stealth is available from level 1 with no charm, no Allure setup, no camouflage-gated level 6 spike, and no execute; burst comes from E and R while the passive is used as a mana battery.
Remembering Evelynn in 2013This is her second kit, not her first: the original Evelynn was kept intentionally underpowered until the season-2 rework, so Classic uses the post-rework version, and AD Evelynn is a real build path.
