Very important to note that this is a midlaner, however his abilities counter you heavily because he has a silence and an ultimate you must buy Quicksilver Sash for to do anything or outplay.
Champion Build Guide
►9.24B Jungle Tier List "Icing On The Cake" by ChaseMorePlz
Hello and thank you for clicking on my guide. My name is ChaseMorePlz on NA and I have been having a lot of success with this champion. Full disclosure, If you are a new League of Legends player and want to know about how Kayn works, what build to use to increase your win-rate, how to play him and which runes to take then watch this video:
I am an experienced League of Legends Jungler. I would like to inform new players. If you want to know more, check out a Challenger guide.
I talk about abilities like these in the Kayn Gameplay video:
PASSIVE -> The Darrkin Sythe
The Darkin Sythe
Passive: A bar around your champion picture in a circle icon gains a charge. For simply attacking enemy champions, a certain amount will allow you to transform your champion to have unique upgraded abilities for the rest of the game. New - Now with patch 10.5, this bar steadily increases on its own after 5 minutes and straightens its growth at 13 minutes.
(Q) Reaping Slash
(Get this at rank 1 most of the time)
Dash through enemies and deal damage. I meant to talk about this in my video but forgot!. His Q is a very simple ability. Kayn dashes forward and spins while dealing damage. The dash allows you to get very tricky with this ability for engaging or escaping camps over walls, as well as pathing quicker through the jungle.
Targets receive 10% bonus percentage of the maximum HP of a target as damage from all incoming Q's, calculated after their resists. AKA Tons of damage; this is why you should pick Kayn when you have a lot of ganking potential for your team to get your form as early as possible >:)
(W) BLADE'S REACH
This is a long ranged skillshot with a wind-up time, similar to Thresh's (Q) Death Sentence or Amumu's (Q) Bandage Toss.
Shadow Assassin: Kayn moves while casting this ability, deals damage and slows enemy champions.
Darkin Rhaast: When landed upgrraded as Red Form and landed, it knocks up the enemy for 1 second. Otherwise when landed, it slows the enemy for 1 second. When upgraded into Blue Kayn, the slow hitbox raidius is longer.
Your E Allows you to travel through walls. It takes practice but by traveling a lot of distance you can create paths faster than any jungler in the entire game due to the move speed you gain.
You can get very tricky with these abilities for engaging or escaping. Both forms of your (W) offer Crowd Control. Use your Q as well to path quicker through the jungle. Time the enemy's Flash so when you go back to gank it's an easier to secure a kill.
W -> Decaying Slow Increased Patch 10.5
W: This is a very long-ranged skill shot with a wind-up time, similar to Thresh's hook Death Sentence. When landed, it slows the enemy for 1 second.Time the enemy's Flash so when you go back to gank it's easier to secure a kill.
Your Ultimate Umbral Trespass allows you to enter the inside of a targeted allies champion with a short-range. In order to do this, you must deal damage to them and channel your ult within 5 seconds with an ability auto-attack or Chilling Smite.
