=Strategy Guide/Tips[edit]

Kelvin depends upon his temporary shields given by permafrost. Use chomp often. It can kill a minion instantly, making it efficenct to dive in and eat one, retreat with temporary shield, and dive right back in when cooldown is done. This will keep his health high and give you steady exp.

Kelvin is tough early game. Be patient and let his power grow.
