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 Dr. Mundo

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Infected Bonesaw (Q) hits the first enemy, and it's his only ranged spell to slow you.

  2. Save your best CC for later

    If you have several CCs, lead with the least valuable: Goes Where He Pleases (passive) lets him resist the first immobilizing effect.

  3. Don't focus him during his R

    Don't keep hitting him during Maximum Dosage (R): he regenerates part of his max health for the whole duration and gains move speed.

  4. Target his carries in teamfights

    In teamfights, target his carries rather than him: Goes Where He Pleases (passive) gives him far stronger health regen than normal.
