Kennen's stun duration varies based on whether it's the initial application or a subsequent one within a specific timeframe. When a target accumulates three stacks of Kennen's Mark of the Storm, they are stunned.
Kennen's Stun Durations
Kennen, the Heart of the Tempest, primarily applies his stun through his Mark of the Storm ability. When an enemy champion reaches three stacks of this mark, they are immobilized. The duration of this immobilization depends on how recently the target was affected by Kennen's stun.
Initial Stun Duration
The first time an enemy is stunned by Kennen, or if they have not been stunned by him within a recent period, the full stun duration is applied. This provides a significant window for Kennen and his allies to follow up with damage or further crowd control.
- Standard Stun Time: 1.25 seconds
In addition to immobilizing the target, Kennen gains 25 Energy whenever a target is stunned, allowing him to sustain his ability usage.
Diminished Stun Duration
To prevent overly oppressive chain-stunning on a single target, Kennen's stun has a built-in reduction if applied too frequently. If a target is stunned again shortly after a previous stun, the duration is significantly reduced.
- Reduced Stun Time: 0.5 seconds
- Condition: This diminished duration occurs if the target is stunned again within 6 seconds of their previous stun.
This mechanic ensures that while Kennen can consistently apply crowd control, its potency on a single target in rapid succession is reduced.
Summary of Kennen's Stun Times
For a clear overview, here are Kennen's stun durations:
| Stun Type | Duration | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Stun | 1.25 seconds | Triggered when a target reaches 3 Mark of the Storm stacks (first stun, or if not stunned within the last 6 seconds) |
| Diminished Stun | 0.5 seconds | Applied if the target is stunned again within 6 seconds of their previous stun |
Understanding these varying stun durations is crucial for both playing Kennen effectively to maximize crowd control and for opponents to anticipate and mitigate his disruptive capabilities.
