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.

Kayn Tips

MetaBot 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.

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.
