Kayn the Shadow Reaper
A peerless practitioner of lethal shadow magic, Shieda Kayn battles to achieve his true destiny—to one day lead the Order of Shadow into a new era of Ionian supremacy. He wields the sentient darkin weapon Rhaast, undeterred by its creeping corruption of his body and mind. There are only two possible outcomes: either Kayn bends the weapon to his will... or the malevolent blade consumes him completely, paving the way for the destruction of all Runeterra.
The Darkin Scythe
Kayn wields an ancient weapon and fights Rhaast, the darkin within it, for control. Either the Darkin will triumph, or Kayn will master Rhaast and become the Shadow Assassin.
Darkin: Heal for a percentage of spell damage dealt to champions.
Shadow Assassin: For the first few seconds in combat with enemy champions, deal bonus damage.Reaping Slash

Kayn Tips

- Kayn has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
- Kayn has less damage per game than most other damage-based champions. Your value to the team may be better oriented towards crowd control or securing objectives.
- Kayn has a high rate of healing compared to other champions. They may be good at exchanging hit trades in lane or before teamfights since they can recover through self-healing.
- Kayn has a much higher late game win rate than their early game win rate. Take advantage of this by spending the early game farming and avoiding unneccessary fights.
- Kayn has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
- Kayn has more mana regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
- Kayn has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.
Kayn Runes
Primary Tree

Playing Kayn
- Look at the line-up of both your team and the enemy's team when picking your form.
- Remember that nearby enemies can see which wall you're in.
Playing Against Kayn
- Umbral Trespass requires Kayn to damage a target first. Try to dodge Blade's Reach to deny him a long range cast of Umbral Trespass.
- When Kayn is in terrain near you, you will get a visual warning on the edge of the terrain he's in.
- Damage Kayn while he's in Shadow Step to shorten its duration, or apply hard crowd control (stun, charm, knockup, etc) to end Shadow Step immediately.
