Best possible build for Kayn

x Shiv x·6/28/2017, 1:01:51 PM·2 votes·12,573 views

I have been thinking a few hours about how should we build Kayn, and I think I've come to a pretty solid conclusion.

So, I would start with this: item 1039 item 2031 Then buy this ASAP item 3715 item 3077 And then build this is this order: Assassin build: item 1412 item 3117 item 3071 item 3142 item 3153 item 3074
Bruiser build: item 1412 item 3117 item 3071 item 3065 item 3742 item 3748 Summoners: summoner 4 summoner 11 or summoner 6 summoner 11 For masteries I would get: 12/18/0 Thunderlords with Sorcery, Natural talent and Precision

I would go for a mixture of both, something like item 1412 item 3117 item 3071 item 3153 item 3065 item 3748 tho I think these are really good items aswell item 3026 item 3033 So what do you guys think?

(Please don't judge this build by my ELO)

First things first, with the HUGE nerfs (nurfs? idk how youre supposed to spell it cause seen it both ways) to lethality on the pbe currently, building anything lethality wise is a pretty big waste of money, more so with youmuus as it costs more. Next, ALWAYS BUILD DEATHS DANCE, it is so broken on almost all ad champions at the moment. Thirdly, kayn solo top lane is actually quite good as his kit in darkin form is amazing for a bruiser, and he works well with a tank/bruiser build. Of course his usual jungle assassin build is better but it does work quite will either way. ALSO, since you somehow didnt know, you CAN get the opposite form of who you attack, once the transform becomes available, if you wait (i believe 3 minutes) the other will become available, sometimes you need the power up and cant wait, but if you have ANY bit of skill at the game, you can make do for the extra few minutes for the transform that will better benefit your team in the long run.

Kayn doesn't auto attack that much. item 3812 's better if you want life stealing And the best possible build is... according to enemy team [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Of course you can change the build, this is just one example!

You're going to have to build according to the team composition, but there's one issue you should know about.

When you play as Kayn, whoever you damage the most determines what you can transform into - so if you are top lane vs Darius, you gain points to unleash Rhaast (Darkin bruiser) whereas if you fought Teemo you would gain points to transform into the shadow assassin form of Kayn. So, whoever you fight for the laning phase sadly determines the change - I wish you could choose once you get points regardless who it is from. This, of course, assumes you play him in a lane and not jungle in which you have more ability to choose.

Overall I like him, can't wait to see if they make an adjustment to his choice for Kayn if he lanes though.

Don't need the Hydra cuz ur clear is already insane and most of ur damages are based on spells

I think lethality Kayn is amazing and deals tons of damage! Also i think he's better in the jungle because as a jungles he will attack multiple champions in early and mid-game and that is needed to transform ASAP, Kayn in a lane would not be as good because it takes lots of time to access a transformation and in his base form isn't very good.
