How to play it

Red Kayn's Q cancels E
Red Kayn's Q bump cancels your E: don't rely on E to disengage once he's transformed.
Fight before his form
Kayn is weak until he transforms: take your fights from level 6, before he earns his Blue or Red form.
Charm after his E
Don't charm him while he still has E: he just wall-dashes out and wastes your charm.
Never count on your R to dodge his ult: you can't dodge Umbral Trespass, so don't use it as your escape.
