Kayn (2024)

FAQs

How does red Kayn and blue Kayn work? ›

Kayne gains passive stacks from doing damage to enemy champions. Red stacks against meele champs, blue stacks against ranged champions. Once he has enough stacks of ethier or both, he can transform.

Kayn cannot choose a form if he is unable to cast abilities. The transformation will grant a passive bonus and permanently empower some of Kayn's abilities based on the form chosen. He gains a one-time Homeguard once the transformation is complete.

His mechanics are fairly easy. But understanding his early game and the capability of both forms can take a bit. Medium skill floor.

He does respect Zed more than anyone. Zed is probably the only person Kayn respect and look up to.

The blue streak in Kayn's hair is the result of using Rhaast. Rhaast's corruption of Kayn's left arm is able to be reverted back to normal by either Rhaast's or Kayn's will.

He is part of Zed's cult and stuff, though that wouldn't make him automatically evil, like Talon who is a Noxian assassin, but has a sort of code of honor.

Buffed Red Kayn Ultimate

The Rhast variant of Kayn's ult, Umbral Trespass, previously healed him for 65% of the pre-mitigated damage dealt. The rework elevates this value to 75%, further bolstering his survivability in the thick of battle.

Jungle Path

However, Kayn is not the strongest champion in the early game, so you want to fully clear the jungle to get Level 5 as soon as possible, then look to gank to start getting orbs from enemy champion so you can quickly get to your transformation.

The Beginner Kayn Jungle Path is a full jg clear that starts on the Red Buff, with you unlocking Reaping Slash at level one.

I've mostly based it off if my team has any tanky characters or if the enemy team has any high health enemies I'll go red, and if they're full of squishy targets I'll go blue.

The Beginner Kayn Jungle Path is a full jg clear that starts on the Red Buff, with you unlocking Reaping Slash at level one. After killing the Red Buff and reaching level two, you'll want to level up Blade's Reach (or Reaping Slash) and head over to the Krugs camp & clear them.

Engage at max range by using Q towards your target, then instantly use W and R as soon as it lands, then Q back onto your target. When dueling someone in melee range AA Q AA then double tap R to stay on your target. AA W for the slow followed by another AA Q AA.
