Kayn creates the picks that turn games into 4v5s. Enough Attack and Split sits in the kit to fight front-to-back when the enemy forces it. Passive The Darkin Scythe locks in Shadow Assassin (ranged-damage-fueled, burst assassin) or Rhaast (melee-damage-fueled, tanky bruiser with lifesteal-style heal) based on how orbs are earned.

Rhaast's W Blade's Reach knocks up instead of just slowing, and his R and Q deal bonus max-health damage while healing off it
R Umbral Trespass makes Kayn untargetable while dashing to and channel-attached on the marked target, and Shadow Assassin's version resets Q cooldown on exit
