The Kindred versus Jarvan IV matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Kindred deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Jarvan IV deals mainly physical damage (84.71%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Kindred is higher farming statistics (ranked 19th among role champions) (versus 36th for Jarvan IV), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.4 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Kindred player to maintain constant pressure on Jarvan IV, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
