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 Ivern

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Keep your minions between you and Ivern: Rootcaller (Q) roots the first enemy hit, and his allies can then dash to you.

  2. Avoid his brush

    Don't fight in or near the brush from Brushmaker (W): Ivern and his nearby allies gain bonus magic damage on their autos there.

  3. Don't take three hits from Daisy

    Focus Daisy! (R) or leave her range before her 3rd consecutive auto on you: it triggers a shockwave that knocks everyone it hits into the air.

  4. Take his camps

    Take his camps while his groves grow: Friend of the Forest (passive) stops him from attacking non-epic monsters, so he has to wait for a grove to grow before he can free them.
