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 Diana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her crescent

    Dodge Crescent Strike (Q): without the mark, Lunar Rush (E) keeps its 22 to 14 second cooldown and she can't recast it.

  2. Play hard before she hits 6

    Take trades before she hits level 6: without Moonfall (R), she has no pull or slow to keep you in melee range.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when she dives: Moonfall (R) pulls in nearby enemies and hits harder for each champion pulled.
