Hello, I am a kayn main since his release I left league and came back many times but I always come back to play Kayn specifically. I update the guide often, hope you enjoy it.

If u guys want more info on any specific thing u can tell me and ill do what i can.

Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/nullstation *Can't promise that i will always stream though, but if you wish for me to stream you can always tell me that in the discussion.

Also please check the updates in case you missed anything new. I may delete old *Updates* over time to reduce the amount written on the guide.

Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR_Dtl8RSjtWMh-Q11aUazQ

Hope you enjoy and improve with this guide :)

Update: Since this is a dead game now after all the unfair champs and boosted ranking system I dont try to climb at all, ranks means nothing and never will. So sry if I disappoint u that I am not trying to climb, but ill keep updating the guide constantly to keep it perfect for kayn players to enjoy whatever they like to play kayn as. Until Riot wake up, my interest to rank up an unfair dead game will be low. Peace!

Choose depends on enemy, Rhaast on tanks and Shadow Assassin on squishies, Shadow Assassin excels at speed and burst damage against low hp targets such as Mage, adc, other assassins etc.. While Rhaast excels at survivng long in teamfights and melting tanks while healing from them during fight.

Rhaast and Kayn both works on Lethality, while others refused to do so for the longest time since 2017, it was very weaker than lethality builds. But now since Rhaast scales of HP to increase his healing from damage. It is adviced to play a build that includes HP and damage both at once to survive longer in fights. But! Lethality Rhaast still the better version when it comes to damage dealing.

Shadow assassin on the other hand is a must full lethality or even crit build. Since he isnt the type to heal during combat nor the type to tank a lot of damage during combat. His style goes as *IN and OUT* The faster you kill your target the better chance of surviving.

Team fight in general:
In the team fight u have 2 options in ur engagement. #1 Kill the most damage champ in the enemy team, if it was adc,top,mid, doesnt matter whatever it is, no one can stop u with full lethality build not even ornn full hp and tank will survive ur burst with the armor pen and lethality as Rhaast or Attack the most damage squishy one's as Shadow Assassin. #2 kill the CC champ, if u face champs that annoys u with their cc like lissandra, morgana, malz, etc.. Flash and 1 shot them and feel free to obliterate the rest.

Extra info so that u pay attention to is that the orbs u collecting and when do they increase according to League of legends fandom wiki the orbs collecting are multiplied over time and the correct math order is as following: Min 0-5 = 3 so unchanged. min 6=3.88/7=4.75/8=5.63/9=6.5/10=7.38/11=8.38/12=9.39/13=10.39/

Formula:Increases each second after 5 mintues. at 10 minutes it increases by 15% more every second until it caps at 13 minutes.

*3 − 10.39 (based on minutes) maxed at min 13*

So pay attention on when u are actually into fight and when it is best to fight in order to get ur form faster.

Happy Reaping everyone.

Here ill be giving road style fully, from first item, mid items, late items, jgl etc..

Option #1: Right now on patch V13.15 i find that buying red jgl item *NO POTION*, then going blue side killing order like: Blue sen>Frog>Dogs>Recall *Buy tear of goddess* Golems>Red buff> Raptors if you wanna gank mid or Raptors>Red buff> golems if you wanna gank top. Is the best option for early, this way it will take you way ahead later on in the game. Also do not start with mythic since its downgrade to your damage i suggest going first Hydra>Manamune>Eclipse if not many tanks or Black Cleaver>Manamune>Eclipse if there is many tanks. This order makes you a walking monster if you got to third items without being behind. Since it makes your damage is unstoppable compared to the rest in a very early state.

After 3rd item you can go according to your enemy if you have any AD item in mind like anti shield anti heal or even more Lethality like Collector or so. But i recommend going something with damage if you use useless items such as Spirit visage or so you will be underperforming. Because you either kill to survive or be killed and any reduce to your damage will result to you failing to kill anyone. So if you got nothing to in mind, go Grudge and Death dance. They are so good on Rhaast and Shadow Assassin.

Oh and a reminder the runes i go with atm the most is the new first runes i added *Eclipse cd red + Money* Since we need all the money we can get so to be full items ASAP because once we are full items, there is no one left to stand on the way ^^ OFC IF PLAYED RIGHT :)

Ill update this category if i found a better way to play the game in terms of Jungling.

Option 2#: You still can go Eclipse first item thanks to its survivability and its the most recommended item to go with if you dont know who you are dealing with, since it goes with any situation. I just go sometimes first Black cleaver for the reduction on armor if there was tanky enemies or Hydra if i plan on farming a lot rather than ganking. But Eclipse is still great option. Like you can go Eclipse > Finish manamune > Black cleaver or Hydra, this way also works :)

But dont forget to buy items that counters your opponent so sometimes you have to sacrifice Black cleaver and hydra to buy shield break or anti heal etc.. But ofc you can just buy 800 anti heal rather than full item. That's all i wanted to say for now :)

Since i have reached Emerald rank i have seen a huge increase in Kill steals since appearently this rank is filled with boosted players. So i recommend going one of these builds (Collector>Manamune>Eclipse) or (Eclipse>Manamune>Collector) or (Eclipse>Collector>Manamune) It is essential to understand that Eclipse is important for survivability and anti tank style and Manamune is a huge boost to damage eitherway while Collector is to make sure that you dont lose the money that would make you able to be ahead of the game and win easier or increase your chance to come back if you were behind.

Option 3#:Right now i still use Dusk blade but with different item set, first u start as usual to get tear of goddess then first item u buy *Dusk blade* after that u finish manamune then u go *black cleaver* and afterward *Death dance* if u need it, but after *Black cleaver* u can either get *Spear of Shojin* or after *Death dance* u get *Spear of Shojin* you can find the example of the build in the items above. As last item you can either go Grudge or Hydra, if enemy has tank as a problem then go Grudge, if it has squishy as problem then go Hydra or u can go any defensive item like Maw or anti CC, heal, etc.. In terms of Runes i go with the 1st one, dark harvest with sorcery for Transcendence + Damage storm with item cd reduction.

Option #4: Same as Option 1 kind of, but instead of Eclipse, get Dusk blade. So the items are Hydra>Manamune>Duskblade>Grudge>Deathdance>SpearofShojin. But, ofc during the build gotta buy boots which u sell later and u may have to switch some items like instead of spear buy anti shield or anti heal or anti CC and may have to buy them a lot earlier. But atm if everything going fine, this build hits RLY strong. Also You can have an advantage by farming lanes in mid game thx to hydra which allows u to JUMP levels ahead of the enemy.

Update on Hydra usage:I would like to just say, since starting Hydra is more expensive and makes u a bit behind early game, it is safe to say that starting Dusk blade is more safe for u to play, since u have the ability to join fights early on rather than Hydra just increases ur damage at full stacks and ur AOE damage as well as fast clearing, but less survivability. Ofc both ways are valid playstyle, but if u need more survivability at the cost of farming speed, Dusk blade comes first, but if u plan to farm lanes and jgl and objectives more than fighting, then Hydra is the ideal way to go but that wont change 2nd item to complete is always going to be Murmana, its a must have.

Let the Reaping leads your scythe to their Defeat :)

I go red buff, then golems then raptors and proceed to wolves, blue, frog scrub. But not always like that. Since i have to gank u know, sometimes after golem i gank top or bot depends on where the golems are. Mostly i try to gank after raptors bec i will have my W on, but i keep it that way, since if there is no ganks then its faster to go to wolves, which makes it faster to get all the jgl camps. Then i normally go back and buy the tear of goddess and some ad or boots.

If i ever changed my jungle path or i have another ideas i will update it in this chapter.

Option 2:I go red > Raptors > Golem and if there is a gank on top or bot depends on where red is u gank if not, recall and buy tear of goddess. This move will make u a head later on if u completed it after duskblade u will see a huge difference in ur damage and teamfights later on.

Option 3: For blue side. You can simply, take Blue then level up W instead of E and go for frog then dogs and continue to red side, i find this style is kinda a bit more comfortable to farm early but also = less ganks effectiveness, since the early ganks with red will secure kill more often than blue thanks to the slow. Also dont buy healing potion, u don't need it. Simply, blue>frog> wolves> red > scramp *Dont fight for it, u gonna die mostly* since kayn rly weak early.

You can also just recall after blue side to get tear: Blue>Frog>Wolves> tear of goddess.

Option 4: You can take the red, birds then go to blue frog and gank then recall, although its not the best option, at sometimes it really gives you advantages on early leads.

The decision about which form to take in the game is depending on the comp from both teams. Like if they are all squishy then shadow assassin is the way to go, if they are tanks mostly then Rhaast, but its not always the case. Certain champs that are squishy with a lot of cc still do require Rhaast more than Assassin. Also when there is Lulu on the enemy team, u also need Rhaast, since lulu turns everyone into tanks.

To know which form to get if its hard to decide bec the enemy has tanks and squishy, well at that point u pick depends on which one is fed or which one is a huge threat.
For example: Nasus, Graves, Zoe, Jhin, Brand. I go Rhaast, bec there is Nasus. Nasus is huge threat to ur team, and if u are fed as rhaast u can easily solo Nasus even in late when he is stacked.

Well if u ended up with a form u found bad decision in a game, then u still can turn things ur way by switching ur items path. Even if u are Shadow assassin, adding Armor pen from both items 30% and black clever 30% can lead most of the tanks down as an Assassin, also u could add Hydras so that when u get into fights ur healings from runes + item can make u an assassin bruiser or duelist.

Same thing if u managed to get wrong form as rhaast and u need speed, u could also use collector as rhaast that can make any squishy adc be a moving minion with a extra gold in it which will make u feel like shadow assassin but different playstyle.

So either way u still can make advantage on ur side, no need to be afraid. Before the nerf of the assassin i used to transform to whatever i get first, this style can still work now but not as effecient since losing 14% damage early and late rly hurt a lot of kayn's assassin kit that made him unable to solo all targets til he add extra ad which means snowballing is very important for assassin to feel like true ascended monster. But while late games can be pain in the ***, Rhaast on the other hand, u always have hope in winning the game no matter how bad the situation can be. Which makes Rhaast superior in most cases.

But in snowballing, Assassin is the king of snowballing. U could snowball as rhaast but not as good as assassin, since snowball needs speed and Rhaast lacks the speed to do a lot with being ahead, but if the enemy is tanky, snowballing can work as rhaast more than assassin that's for sure. Since Rhaast is tank melter and assassin is squishy deleter.

Remember that items has almost 80% of the reasons why u lose or win. So careful what u buy and when u buy them otherwise ur build would not feel as good as u want it to be.

Once u turn into Rhaast u got few objectives in mind:

#1 Tanks must go down by u and no one else.

#2 the highest dps in the game gonna be u so u can freely destroy any target that ur team is having hard time against.

#3 dont forget u are a jgler, drakes barons ,etc. U are still kayn even if u have to do it alone vs 5 go for it u can even get penta with the obj if u are fed enough, its ok if u die at least die trying as Ekko says:I rather make mistakes than make nothing at all.

#4 The combos u could use is AA>W>Q>AA>R>AA>Q>W>AA or AA>W>AA>Q>AA>R>AA>W>AA>Q>AA. Now there is diff other combos.Dont forget that all of that with duskblade on, never change dusk blade. Duskblade slows down ur target by 99% for 0.25 u can hit ur combo so easily without any problem.

But these combos does the most damage out of a little time u have and also doesnt always work since u gotta use ur ult to catch up with ur enemy or to survive burst or to dodge CC.

Once u turn into shadow assassin u have few objectives in mind:

#1 The adc and the mage is yours and yours alone to take care of.

#2 Your speed has a meaning and you need to take advantage of it, so make sure you clear up your camps often no matter how fed you are LEVEL> KILLS. The faster you get to 18 the better. I rather be level 18 with 0 kills rather than level 11 with 10 kills.

#3 You are still kayn take drakes baron herald etc. Trust me they are way more worth than any kill in the game, even if you are alone vs 5, as Ekko says:I rather make mistakes than make nothing at all.

#4 End the game fast, you need to try to snowball when you turn into assassin, his speed is meant to make you snowball, your late is not fun for you. End the game as quickly as possible and to do so, you get obj, LEVEL UP AS FAST AS YOU COULD. Go on murder spree between squishy DO NOT FIGHT THE TANKS. Even if you know you could win, they take of from your time which makes you spend a lot of time fighting for a 300 Gold which you could have gotten from 1 tappin adc.

#5 The combos you could use are pretty easy, infact a lot easier than Rhaast. Assassin doesnt wait using his W, so your combo is going to be like: AA>W>Q>AA>R>AA>W>Q>AA or for faster and safety AA>W>Q>R>W>Q might be less damage, but that way u are way faster and u will not be caught up with cc too easily. Dont forget that all of that with duskblade on, never change dusk blade. Duskblade slows down ur target by 99% for 0.25 u can hit ur combos so easily without any problem.

If you found your self in a bad position against tanks, remember Black cleaver and Grudge always help to obliterate any tank.

Once u get to late game while playing Rhaast which means (Full items and max level everyone), ur obj becomes a little bit harder.

#1 When u join a teamfight u mostly likely gonna need a flash to reach ur target rather than walking to it. Dont forget u are squishy, u kill to survive, if u dont kill u die fast.

#2 No one from the enemy team has chance to solo u or even duo u except by CC. Which means, u fear NOBODY, no one is free of fear against u when u are around. Not even a single champ in this entire game can handle full lethality Rhaast damage in late, which makes u fearsome champ use that fear for ur advantage.

#3 Most likely ppl will think u are bad since u build lethality rhaast and they will start trying to focus u as 1v1 or 2v1, take that as ur advantage to take free kills without teamfight.

#4 Baron,Elder, Soul(If u dont have it yet) Most damage champ in the enemy team, most tanky champ in the enemy team, most cc champ in the enemy team. Those are ur objective that must be done in order to win.

#5 In the end u gotta sell the shoes, yes u are slow but u gonna need to flash to reach ur enemy or use a trick or ult to reach the target u want. But ur boots wont be as important as an extra dps or healin or lethality item. It might look stupid but trust me its wayyy more important than speed. But ofc if u fail to reach ur target, consider ur self dead.

Once you reach late as Shadow Assassin which means (Full items and max level everyone), your objectives becomes a lot harder, unlike rhaast, shadow assassin is meant to snowball and if u didnt u are in hard time but here is what u can do:

#1 Insta del the squshiy from the enemy team, not the ez kill but more like the important one's. Like the adc if fed or the mage if fed or even the supp like lux bec they are going to be more problem than the adc. Even if u die, dont fear taking them down for ur team, its ur job to do so anyway.

#2 Baron,elder, soul(If u dont have it yet) Well at this point this is easier to do than rhaast, thx to ur speed its hard for the enemy to stop u from stealing it ur combo AA>W>Q>SMITE can literally steal anything without problem and even cause a huge damage in AOE on the enemy if they were on the way of ur combo.

#3 Dont fight alone, u most likely feel like u can do anything, but u actually cant they scale better than u and especially if there was tanks u are kinda useless. So consider being ur team assister on taking down the problem with ur life, u go all in on them so that ur team will have to deal with less problems. Taking down adc mage for example and dying that moment u took down the huge dps and u made ur team 4v3 = Perfect for ur team.

#4 make sure u secure areas around obj like drakes and barons since u rly gonna need them if u wish to win in late. By securing area i mean, make sure enemy supp doesnt ward and if it did punish it by killing them fast and escape and then clear the wards and so on so that u make sure ur obj drake is on ur position rather than the enemy.

At level 1 u rank up Q. U use it to bully the laner while getting all of ur minions. Like for example u facing zed u go near the minion wait for zed to get close dash through minion and damage him with ur Q a bit, do it again several times til his hp is low enough for u to go in with a flash+AA+Q+ignite. And the kill is all urs.

This style can also work against range, but its a lot more effective against melee but remember this works in early like level 1-2 later on is a different situation depends on who u fighting. But mostly ur Q damage in early far beyond any other champ and u can use that to ur advantage and since Kayn isnt lane champ non will expect that.

Other than that u have few objectives to put up in mind while playing kayn in lane:

#1 survive the lane or win the lane either way u still gonna fight them so u will get ur form.

#2 Ur E is LORD of roaming, so dont be shy, roam a little, get that tasty kills and enjoy the free form bars.

#3 U are still half jgler here, u can simply watch ur jgl and assist him in drakes or invading or even ganking, all works.

#4 Dont forget ur position as kayn, Assassin = snowball, squishy. Rhaast = Tanks melter team fighter.

Well this one is way more harder than melee and its the reason why i dont always go in lane, its nightmare for kayn to deal with range champs in early, but here is what u can do when u are aganist range:

#1 Max W first thing, W is very important to deal with range champs otherwise u will just dash to dying use Q.

#2 Get elixer first item, u gonna use ur E to heal a lot of time, every extra mana will always be of a help.

#3 Get tear of goddess, u are in a surviving situation here not a murder spree. Til u get ur form u are in a very bad spot, u can only roam or try to survive ur lane while damaging the enemy for form.

#4 Don't transform to the form that counter ur lane, choose wisely, u need a form for the enemy comp completely not just ur lane even if u cant deal with ur lane, choose what is better to win not to kill.

Thought of adding info on how and when to fight ppl to get ur form faster. Well, its sometimes easy and sometimes hard, first it depends on the enemy champs u fight and also depends on the way they play. For example, i gank a lot just incase my team is bad so i dont lose the game before i even get to trasnform, pretty sure many of us has this issue.

So yes, less farm more ganking, for example after your recall to get the tear of goddess, ignore ur rest of the farm and go gank depends on which one looks more viable to ur ganks. After u finish ganking and getting a call, do not continue farming after that, RECALL and get items to do mroe damage and get ur blue or red buff and gank the other lanes. I know it sounds bad idea to ignore your farm but trust me, u will end up fed which will cover the farm u ignored + you will have your form pretty early like between 6-8 min.

Note: Just thought of adding extra info that, Shadow assassin is ALWAYS faster to gather than Rhaast. Yes it's faster. According to league wiki:

*Melee orbs grant 2 points per hit and 6 points per takedown.(Rhaast)
*Ranged orbs grant 3 points per hit and 7 points per takedown.(Shadow Assassin)

As extra, i mentioned this before but ill mention it here again orbs gaining increase overtime *Which is already known* but here is the correct math of when u gather most orbs faster: The amount of points received per orb is then multiplied by 3 − 10.39 (based on minutes).

Update#1: I added boots since i forgot about them, dont forget to read the note on the boots, thx in advance. Also i added a note on the runes for extra info.

Update#2: Added runes for laning.

Update#3: adding extra info about jungling path.

Update#4: Added leveling path for laning phases both melee and range.

Update#5: Added more threats and synergies.

Update#6: Added more threats and synergies and divided some of the info into different chapters to make it easier for ppl searching for a specific infos.

Update#7: Added Rhaast playstyle objectives after u turn into him.

Update#8: Added Shadow Assassin playstyle objectives after u turn into him.

Update#9: Added Rhaast and Shadow Assassin (Late) playstyle objectives.

Update#10: Added Kayn early playstyle vs melee on lane and summoner spells u can use in lane.

Update#11: Added 1 extra leveling path for jungle when going Rhaast.

Update#12: Added another option in jungle path and extra info about transformations for Rhaast and Shadow Assassin and early playstyle against range in lanes.

Update#13: Added extra runes, threats and changed the name of runes bec it was hard to read also added few items in situational as well as a note for early items purchase.

Update#14: Added laning starting items.

Update#15: Added *How to get form faster* just for extra info on how to get form or when to gank etc..

Update#16: just changed the info of ur ult *getting up to at least 65%* on Rhaast.

Update#17: Added more info about the new runes *First strike*

Update#18: Added another *First strike* Runes.

Update#19: Just switched Runes position, i putted First strike runes at first bec i find it the best runes for kayn atm *In jgl* for both Assassin and Rhaast. Also added Electro rune(Thunderlord)

Update#20: Added more situational items.

Update#21: I just putted a little extra note on core items since i see many ppl on reddit and other social media websites saying that collector is bad, so i put a little info of why i play collector.

Update#22: Deathdance has changed, its a huge buff so i added extra info about it.

Update#23: After deathdance buff i find hydra to be important more than collector with the increase of AD from hydra, so i changed the core items.

Update#24: Changed cosmic insight to approach velocity, i find it more useful to kayn to increase his ms toward the enemy after W or in a gank more important than item and spell haste.

Update#25: Since Ravenous is gone now, i use ultimate hunter in its place. So i updated the runes to be ultimate hunter with dark harvest and also i added another mythic you can use.

Update#26: I added a new build tree, u decide which one u wanna go with, it starts with hydra and i find it to be VERY effective.

Update#27: I added in the jungle farming the blue side, if people want to start blue then i prefer to level up W second for better farming in the other side.

Update#28: Switched back to dark harvest as the main runes, since most of the time i lack extra damage thx to the nerf of Rhaast on the Q, so the dark harvest will fix the issue.

Update#29: Added another jungle path which includes ignoring some jgl camps for potential early gank.

Update#30: Adding my twitch stream *If i ever streamed* Which can also be found in intro: https://www.twitch.tv/nullstation

Update#31: updated the items that i go with as well as the option 3 in jungle camp for blue side info in jungle path.

Update#32: Added items for anti kill steal, if u got tired of people stealing your kills and not carrying, this will help allowing u securing kills without worrying about ur teammate stealing it.

Update#33: I returned first strike as main runes bec it still way better than Dark harvest since it allows u to reach full items wayyyy faster as well as getting the form faster too.

Update#34: More details about 3rd option from jungle path.

Update#35: Kayn no longer gain bonus transformation from First strike, so this runes isnt as good as it used to be but still useful for damage and money.

Update#36: After another healing nerf to kayn i find eclipse is a better option now, i also added new runes to help using eclipse more often than usual.

Update#37: The nerf on Rhaast didnt actually effect him much as far as my games goes, i still run dusk blade or eclipse, but i started to use eclipse less after the nerf on lethality so i recommend spamming black cleaver first item and then dusk blade afterward finish manamune.

Update#38: I updated the guide for the new season, i didnt update for a time bec i actually left the game in preseason waiting the preseason to end so that i dont have to deal with the bugs, since now there is less i am back. Now i changed items for the new season as well as the build a bit, since hydra seems to really be good with kayn, i start with it while having tear of goddess going for Duskblade after i finish it and manamune rightafter. But if there was tanks again, Black Cleaver > anything against tanks in early.

Update#39: I added different item set, since i started to see that more penetration is very MUCH needed.

Update#40: a bit of change in runes for Eclipse users.

Update#41: Added note for the eclipse build, also changed some words on *Rhaast and shadow assassin* chapter since new season changed somethings.

Update#42: After the last patch, Dusk blade becomes more valuable than ever, no problem if ur enemy used to kill u when u are invis, since now u are UNTOUCHABLE. So i find it to be better than before. Not to mention the extra damage depends on missing health help preventing kill steal from ur teammates.

Update#43: This here isn't much of a change just a reminder that the best option so far i see is using Eclipse as second or 3rd item with 2 runes for item cd red. Check The new *The Reaping Style* category for explaination.

Update#44: Added Suggestions for items after the 3rd in *Reaping Style*

Update#45: After the nerf from Dusk blade, i don't think its as good as it used to be, so pick it only when you think Damage > survivability. Otherwise Eclipse is always better.

Update#46: Just added a little reminder on Reaping style that you can use Eclipse as first item and why. And also said a little extra thing in intro.

Update#47: I wanted to say that since i reached Emerald rank and i have seen a huge increase in people stealing kills no matter what you do so ill have recommendation against it in Reaping Style.

Update#48: The new nerf in kayn didnt change much from kayn still same stuff same weakness same strength. Just no reason to nerf but Riot is riot. That's all i wanted to say about the new update on kayn.

Update#49: Added new build strategy and playstyle you can find in *The reaping style* Option 3#.

Update#50: Changed the order of the runes from most used to the least used and also added 1 extra electro rune for laning that i find the best for now. I also updated the intro for some info about the guide. Also removed healing potion from jungle items because as kayn you will never need it, so save ur 50 gold early to go buy Tear after finishing either side.

Update#51: The nerf on Rhaast is as always doesn't make sense, but also doesn't change anything. Same items same style. Just less damage, which means rely less on ult. You may also need to switch spear of shojin for Grudge for extra armor penetration later since against tanks raw damage doesnt rly do the trick.

Update#52: Added option #3 in The Reaping Style. And gave extra details about the build road.

Update#53: Added youtube channel where i put some videos as well as many of Kayn's Highlights, u will find it in intro.

Update#54: Update on Reaping style.

Update#55: After the last nerf on dusk blade as well as Dark harvest, i started to use Eclipse and first strike again. So go Eclips with 2nd rune, because it decreases the cd of Eclipse the most. Happy Reaping.

Update#56: After the last nerf on the runes in terms of scaling, i believe now its more useful sometimes to use conqueror than the others because they are very underwhelming in terms of scaling. So i added 4* conqeuror runes.

Update#57: Nothing to add, just switched runes order to what i think best is. Since i am using conqueror the most now after the Darkharvest and thunderlord or electrocute nerf, i see Conqueror to be #1 option now.

Update#58: Using thunderlord(Electrocute) feels a bit more rewarding than other runes atm, so i recommend it for assassination.

Update#59: I added an item lethality road with the new season 2024 items, which i find to be really good, since it really scales with Grudge, adding more to its lethality. And FYI for those who dont know, last time i checked lethality now scales 100% since level 1. But not so sure, but its undocumented as far as i know. And with the new items i believe Dark harvest better choice.

Update#60: I updated every runes for the new *mini runes* changes. Since there is no longer armor.

Update#61: Been a while i didn't play much League since i was busy with Valorant, but so far i can see the game became easier overall even though Kayn is underwhelming because of the past nerfs. Those new items are REALLY overpowered when you go full items and especially if you snowball. Try to fight less and farm more to get first 2 items, you need a Lethality item whichever counters the enemy the most + Muramana and you will be a monster in every fight.

Update#62: Updated the new items best option, because i experimented a bit on them after taking break from the game and i noticed these build better than only full Lethality all the time, ofc that changes depends on the game, so pick and choose :)

Update#63: After the last update they made for Kayn, the passive Update is not bad even though not really that useful, because Kayn should be built on lethality but since he scales hp now, gotta buy items like Black cleaver that gives hp as well as penetration obviously. But the Ultimate buff is amazing, now u can heal more from the dmg u deal :) Items kind of unchanged for Assassin, but for Rhaast ill put some items as *Optional* to use if you would like to scale his passive.

Update#64: I know it's been a while I didn't update the guide, but that's becasue its been a while I didnt play league, because of Vanguard anti-cheat. Regardless I am trying to come back but I keep deleting League after playing few games to avoid having vanguard on my pc. Nonetheless the new update of the guide is (Added new build style which includes critical strike kayn and also changed runes because some of them are outdated since the removal of tenacity rune.) Extra: I also added a hp build for Rhaast since now he scales of hp to increase his physical vamp. For those wishing for more survivability. PEACE!

Update#65: Added new item set, I have been doing very well with this lethality build, I spammed shadow assassin form mostly and its damage is disgusting, but used First strike with it to be able to get items faster. But any Runes would work.

Update#66: After item prices changes and stats from lethality items like Collector and armor penetration no longer sclaes with lethality on Grudge, I changed the items build set. I changed items to start with Grudge instead, because now Grudge is very useful and it's not expansive and also u can go collector first item instead since its pretty cheap now compared to the amount of stats it gives.
