Playing as Kayn

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Pick your form based on their team

    Take Rhaast against a tanky team, Shadow Assassin against squishy targets: The Darkin Scythe (passive) gives one healing, the other bonus damage at the start of fights.

  2. Gank through walls

    Gank through walls with Shadow Step (E): you move through terrain faster, and you heal when you first enter it.

  3. Hide inside an enemy

    To dodge a burst, cast Umbral Trespass (R) on a champion you just hit: inside, you're untargetable while your spells come back up.

  4. As Rhaast, hit everyone

    As Rhaast, hit as many champions as you can with your spells: The Darkin Scythe (passive) heals you for part of the ability damage they take.

Playing against Bel'Veth

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off from her true form

    Back off when she takes her true form with Endless Banquet (R): she gains health, range and attack speed, and with enough stacks, the form lasts until she dies.

  2. Dodge her tail slam

    Dodge Above and Below (W): if it hits you, you take a knock-up and her Void Surge (Q) in your direction is refreshed instantly.

  3. Don't be the lowest on health

    If you're the lowest-health enemy near her, get out of Royal Maelstrom (E) range: every slash targets you, and she gains lifesteal and damage reduction.

  4. Deny her camps and kills

    Deny her large monsters and kills: Death in Lavender (passive) gives her permanent attack speed for each one.
