When Kayn uses his E (Shadow Step) to walk through walls, he can engage from unexpected angles. Position to follow up on his ganks rather than initiating yourself, and be ready to provide immediate damage or crowd control when he appears through terrain.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Kayn transforms into Shadow Assassin (Blue) or Darkin (Red) based on his early fights. Shadow Assassin excels at eliminating squishies with burst damage, while Darkin is better against tanks and provides a knockup with his W. Adjust your engage timing and target selection based on his form.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
When Kayn uses his R (Umbral Trespass), he becomes untargetable by entering an enemy champion. Avoid wasting targeted abilities on his victim during this time, and be ready to re-engage when he emerges to maximize your combined damage output.
Team Fight Skirmish
If Kayn transforms into Darkin (Red), his W gains a 1-second knockup effect. Layer your crowd control after his knockup ends instead of using it simultaneously to maximize disable duration on key enemy targets.
Team Fight Skirmish
Shadow Assassin Kayn deals bonus magic damage on his first attack after being out of combat. When he pings he's looking to engage, prepare your burst damage to follow his initial strike for maximum impact on priority targets.
Team Fight Skirmish
Before level 6, Kayn lacks reliable crowd control and only has a slow on his W. If you have stuns or roots, save them to set up his ganks as he'll need help keeping targets in range of his Q and W abilities.
Basic Lane Phase
Place wards near walls in the enemy jungle to help Kayn find safe paths using his E (Shadow Step). This vision enables him to make more aggressive invades through terrain and secure unexpected ganks.
Lane Phase Late Game
In late-game teamfights with Shadow Assassin Kayn, engage the enemy frontline to create distractions so he can flank and eliminate backline targets. With Darkin Kayn, let him engage first with his knockup W before following up with your damage and crowd control.
