Small Intro

This is a guide for Blue Kayn only. I haven't played enough Red Kayn to really talk about it. If you enjoyed this guide leave a comment, any criticism is appreciated. This is a short guide, and if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Early Game Clear to Level 4

START RAPTORS EVERY GAME. You'd be crazy not to. If you don't know how i'll explain:

1. Auto the big raptor
2. Walk towards the brush near the camp until the raptors bunch up
3. Have both instances of your Q hit the entire group
4. Auto the big raptor and walk toward the opposite side until your Q if off cooldown
5. Q the entire camp again
6. auto attack the remaining raptors
7. Put a point in your E and phase through the wall to red buff

Smite the Red buff
Heal off E again moving towards Wolves
Heal off E again moving towards Blue
Heal again on Gromp and smite Gromp

DO NOT SMITE THE RAPTORS AT THE START

Go do scuttle and bam you're Level 4.
Back to Top

From Scuttle at Level 4

You have 3 options now, you'll be healthy enough to gank Mid or Bot/Top depending on what side you're on, but if neither of those options seem to be open, you can carefully make your way to the enemy Krugs and take those, warding red buff brush on the way. 95% of the time the enemy jungler wont do their krugs and will be either ganking the opposite side of the map you're on, Mid lane or still be doing their clear. Once you finish the krugs recall in the brush beside them because this early on in the game it wont be warded.
Back to Top

Level 6-11

You're ahead of the enemy jungler if you didn't **** up. Now you can do another short clear and look for a Gank. Going blue Kayn you'll want to prioritize ganking Bot and Mid, considering it will help fill the blue meter quickly, and if you are going to gank Top, make sure you do it early on when the orbs aren't as powerful. If you're ahead, beautiful. Start your draktharr with serrated dirk and snake around the enemy jungle to put yourself ahead even more. Once you have Blue Kayn and Draktharr, you're a 1-shot unkillable monster, so sneak around and wait for the ADC or Mid Laner to step out into the open, and destroy them.

If you got counter jungled or some how fell behind, AVOID FIGHTS until you have Blue Kayn and Serrated Dirk, once you have these you'll have a massive power spike and be able to duel again, play smart and try to get your lead back.
Back to Top

Level 11-18

Your playstyle should be the same from here on out until grouped teamfights. Pick off anyone you can easily get a kill on. Once you notice the enemy team is starting to group up, stick near your teammates and wait for the right moment to pounce on a squishy. Use your R to avoid crucial CC and rely on your Defensive items and team to be enough to keep you alive. If you die in the process of killing their backline, don't worry, you've done your job, and your team (SHOULD) be able to clean up the rest. Late game if you manage to get a pick, keep baron warded up and try to take it when possible, ping it like mad to get your teams attention and they'll start grouping around it.
