Kayn, the shadow of death, the newest champion for League of Legends doesn't sound like a cozy sidekick for Teemo. Rather, developer Riot brings a powerful shadow mage into the league, whose goal is to lead the Order of Shadows to new glory.

League of Legends - Kayn, the shadow of death

With his living weapon Rhaast, a powerful artifact is at his disposal, at the same time Rhaast threatens to corrupt him. It is unclear which of the two will prevail. Only one thing is clear: if the scythe wins, Runeterra is threatened with complete destruction.

The battle between Kayn and his weapon is also reflected in the game:

PASSIVE - WAR SCYTHE OF THE DARK

Kayn wields an ancient weapon and struggles for control with Rhaast, the dark inside her. In every game one has to fall victim to the other. Kayn improves his shadow skills by hunting ranged fighters, while Rhaast quenches his thirst for blood in direct confrontation with the enemy. If Kayn wins the argument, he rises to the rank of shadow assassin. If Rhaast emerges victorious, he takes possession of his bearer and takes over the leadership.

Depending on who gains control, Kayn's skills will be influenced.

For example at Kayn's: W - BLADE STRIKE

Deals damage in a straight line, slowing all enemies hit considerably.

Shadow Assassin: Leaves a living shadow to stand in Kayn's place Blade strike executes. The blade of the living shadow has a greater range.

The gloomy one: Blade strike briefly throws hit targets into the air.

Being is also very scary E - SHADOW STEP

Kayn is briefly accelerated and can walk through walls for a few moments. When he steps on a wall he heals himself a little and the duration of Shadow step is extended enormously. If Kayn is engaged in combat with opposing champions, the duration is not extended.

Every second on the battlefield, you have to expect the shadow of death to emerge from the next wall.

You can see the details for his skills with small videos on Riot's topic page about the new champion Find. When exactly Kayn will be released for League of Legends is not yet known.
