Kayn Matchups

Hard Counters

Poppy★★★

Poppy W stops your wall dash and her kit shuts down your engage entirely.

Rammus★★★

Rammus armor and taunt make it impossible for Shadow Assassin to burst him and Rhaast struggles too.

Kindred★★★

Kindred invades you early when you are weakest and out-duels you before your transformation.

Favorable Matchups

Evelynn

Evelynn is weak pre-6 and you can invade her jungle to accelerate your transformation.

Karthus

Karthus cannot escape your wall traversal ganks and you can burst him easily.

Amumu

Amumu cannot fight you at any point and you clear faster while providing stronger ganks.

General Laning Tips

• 1.Choose Shadow Assassin against squishy teams and Rhaast against tanky compositions.
• 2.Use Shadow Step to gank through walls for unexpected angles that enemies cannot ward against.
• 3.Rhaast ultimate makes you untargetable and heals based on max health so use it inside tanks.
