How to Play Kayn in ARAM Mayhem

You play Kayn by damaging champions with Reaping Slash (Q) and Blade's Reach (W), marking them so Umbral Trespass (R) can hide you inside one of them, untargetable, before you burst out. Your form decides your role: Shadow Assassin picks off ranged carries, while Darkin Slayer fights in the front line and heals. Hubris suits the assassin route, and Black Cleaver suits Darkin Slayer's longer fights.
