Kayn, the Shadow Reaper, is a melee fighter and assassin champion. In fights Kayn is a durable champion who deals physical damage over extended fights, with healing in the kit. Here are the augments Kayn players take most, the Prismatic items worth grabbing and the core build on patch 26.20.
Your dash, leap, blink, or teleport Abilities gain 200 Ability Haste.
Reaping Slash (Q) is a dash, so it gains 200 Ability Haste and you can cast it far more often for damage and repositioning in fights.
After using a Dash, Blink, or Teleport Ability you gain Armor and Magic Resist.
Every Reaping Slash (Q) is a dash, so you gain Armor and Magic Resist each time you dive in, helping you survive in melee range.
Gain 15% Armor Penetration and Magic Penetration.
Reaping Slash (Q), Blade's Reach (W) and Umbral Trespass (R) deal physical damage, so the Armor Penetration raises your damage against armored targets.
In game, Hexgate puts a badge under every augment card you are offered, with how often Kayn players take it.
