Mark of the Kindred (Passive)
Both Lamb and Wolf mark targets to hunt.
Lamb can choose a champion to hunt from the selection panel opened by the button beneath the passive icon. 
Wolf periodically hungers for and hunts jungle monsters.  
Gaining a kill or assist on that target permanently empowers Kindred's attacks, granting them 1.25% of the target's current Health in bonus physical damage.

Current Bonus Damage  = X%
After a successful hunt Lamb may not hunt that champion again for 4 minutes.

Dance of Arrows (Q)

30 Mana
9 sec Cooldown 
Lamb vaults, firing up to 3 arrows at nearby enemies, dealing 60/90/120/150/180 (+.2 total AD) physical damage. 
Casting Wolf's Frenzy or vaulting inside of its effect reduces the cooldown of this spell to 2 seconds.
  • [NOTE: This does not apply on hits] 

Wolf's Frenzy (W)
[Range] 
40 Mana
18/17/16/15/14 sec Cooldown 
Passive:As Kindred move they build stacks of Hunter's Vigor, up to a maximum of 100. At full stacks Lamb's next basic attack drains X [Seems to be a .4 AD heal but Wrekz has mentioned it is intended to be per level] health from the target. 
Active: Wolf claims a territory, attacking nearby enemies inside it for 8 seconds. Lamb can direct him to targets by attacking them. If Lamb leaves Wolf's territory he will cease attacking and join her. 
Wolf's attacks deal physical damage equal to 25/30/35/40/45(+.4 total AD) including 40% of the damage from Mark of the Kindred.

Cripple an enemy, slowing their movement speed by 70% for 1 seconds.

Wolf deals physical damage equal to 80/110/140/170/200 (+.2 total AD) +5% of the target's maximum health. [Maximum 300 vs. monsters]
  • [NOTE: The wolf attack does not proc on hits and can not crit] 

Lamb's Respite (R)
[Range] 
100 Mana
150/130/110 sec Cooldown 
Lamb blesses the ground under a friendly champion for 4 seconds, creating an area in which no living things, ally or enemy can die. Upon reaching 10% Health, units become immune to further damage or healing. 
When the blessing ends all living things inside heal for 200/250/300.

Here's a look at Kindred's abilities in action:


Voiceover

Kindred's VO features the two entities - Lamb and Wolf - chatting it up to over 17 minutes of dialogue, including all sorts of unique taunts, lines when purchasing items, and more!


Here's the champion select quote for Kindred:

"Tell me again, little lamb, which things are mine to take? "
"All things, dear wolf."

Release skin

Here's Nurse Flan with a bugs & feedback thread for Shadowfire Kindred:
"The brighter the light, the darker the shadow becomes. 
Lamb is now a glowing angelic being, full of burning holy fire. And Wolf? He's death-hungry abomination with a snarling face of a demon. Which face of death would you prefer to meet? 
  • Completely new model (angel and demon!)

As players who get the first look at this in-progress skin, it would be wonderful to hear your thoughts and feelings on Shadowfire Kindred! The feedback and bugs you leave here will help us get a better idea of things we may still have to take a look at. :]

[PBE - 5.19] Adjustments to Leashing Rules

Here's Xypherous with a heads up on changes to leashing rules testing during 5.19:
"We've significantly rewrote jungle monster leashing rules. This will not affect Epic Monsters - but will affect most monster camps. 
The goals of this change are to visualize the complex set of leashing behaviors down to a few key visible metrics - as well as better balance control and support for unorthodox ways of dealing with jungle monsters (like continuously throwing them over walls). 
All in all, these changes are aimed at making it easier for players to kite monsters in one direction, get better signalling as to when the monsters will leash and take measures to re-aggro the monster. 
Changes
  • Large Monsters now display their "Patience" count as a bar above their heads.
  • If you do something that the Monster finds abusive, it will begin to lose Patience at a gradual rate. This continues until you stop the offending activity -or- the monster loses all his "Patience"
  • If a monster loses the entirety of their "Patience" - they will hard reset, losing interest in you and beginning to regenerate. They are then, unable to be engaged upon until they are above a certain health threshold (90% currently.)
  • Jungle Monster camps have their own unique leash radii to control for the various properties of each camp. Leash Radii is now mostly calculated by walking distance rather than as the crow flies.
Things that cause Monsters to lose "Patience" with you:
  • If the monster's current target is far out of the monster's camp and there are no other valid targets around.
  • If the monster has to switch targets and is being bounced around from target to target.
  • If the monster is waaaay far out of his camp. Like.. WAY far out."
[Xypherous also posted images but not working as of post time. Will check back]


Balance Changes

* Remember *: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, and sometimes radical changes. The changes you see below may be lacking context or other accompanying changes that didn't make it in - don't freak out! These are not official notes.
