Kayn Tips
- Kayn has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
- Kayn tends to have a lower vision score than other champions. Make sure you are working to place wards and clear enemy wards.
- 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 magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.
- Kayn has more mana regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
- Kayn has more health 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.
