Kayn Matchups Overview
Kayn General information
Kayn tips and tricks
Don’t be afraid to use alternative ganking routes with your
E to dodge commonly warded bushes.
Try and get your transformation as quickly as possible by ganking and skirmishing with the enemy as often as you can.
You’ll want to transform into Blue Kayn if the enemy has lots of squishy champions. If they have lots of tanky champs, opt for Red Kayn.
