Shadow Assassin: When in this form, Blade’s Reach range is increased up to 200 units. Plus, it can slow them down by 90% up to 1.5 seconds. Additionally, both instances of Reaping Slash will inflict 40 bonus damage against enemy monsters and minions.īlade’s Reach: When using this skill, Kayn will perform an upward sweep using his scythe in a target direction, inflicting physical damage to all nearby enemies in a line. When he swings his weapon, Kayn will deal the same damage to nearby enemies. Reaping Slash: When using Reaping Slash, Kayn will dash in a target direction, inflicting physical damage to enemy units he passes through before swinging his scythe. Shadow Assassin: In this form, Kayn, for the first few seconds in combat with an enemy champion, will deal bonus damage. It can heal Kayn for a percentage of spell damage inflicted to enemy champions. He returns to Ionia in triumph, convinced that Zed will name him the new leader of the Order of Shadow.The Darkin Scythe: Kayn uses an ancient weapon, fighting Rhaast, the “Darkin” within it, for control. Rhaast has long awaited the perfect host in order to rejoin its darkin brethren and lay waste to the world, but Kayn will not be easily dominated. The corruption took hold the moment his fingers closed around the weapon, locking them both in a fateful struggle. Indeed, where any other acolyte would have destroyed the living scythe known as Rhaast, Kayn took it for himself. He accepted without hesitation, never questioning why he had been chosen for this task. This hubris led Kayn to embrace his final test: to seek out a darkin weapon recently unearthed in Noxus, and prevent it from ever being used against the weary defenders of Ionia. He truly believed that one day his power would eclipse even that of Zed himself.
These swift executions instilled fear in the hearts of those fortunate enough to be spared.Īnd as Kayn’s legend grew, so did his arrogance. Armor he viewed as a cumbersome burden, instead cloaking himself in shadows and slaying his enemies with quickness and stealth. The assassin held out his hand and welcomed Kayn into the Order of Shadow.Īcolytes traditionally spent years training with a single weapon of their choosing, but Kayn mastered them all-to him, they were mere tools, and he was the weapon. Zed saw in this child, this abandoned Noxian survivor, a weapon that could be turned against those who had sent him here to die. This tenacity was not something that could be taught. The boy’s eyes harbored a pain that belied his age, yet still burned with all the fury of a hardened warrior. A child of no more than ten lay in the mud, leveling his broken sickle at the master assassin, bloody knuckles straining white. Noxus would show no mercy.Ī flickering glint of steel caught his eye. Their leader, Zed, knew this area had no tactical significance. Two days later, after word had spread throughout the southern provinces, the Order of Shadow came upon the grisly scene. Farmers, hunters-even a handful of vastaya-all were butchered without ceremony. He dropped his heavy sword and snatched up a fallen sickle, turning to face the shocked Ionians just as the Noxian regulars swept in from the flank. While his young comrades were cut down or fled the battlefield, Kayn showed no fear. Kayn and the others were a reluctant vanguard, facing disorganized bands of locals defending their home from these returning invaders. Striking against the province of Bahrl, Noxian forces landed at the mouth of the Epool River. Thus, barely able to lift the blade he had been given, Kayn’s first day in battle was also expected to be his last. Ionian compassion was a weakness to be exploited-their warriors would hesitate before striking down a supposed innocent. Following the disastrous battle at the Placidium of Navori, the invasion was deliberately reformulated into a protracted war of attrition.
Noxian by birth, Shieda Kayn and others like him were conscripted as child soldiers, a cruel practice employed by only the most devious commanders in Boram Darkwill’s empire. or the malevolent blade consumes him completely, paving the way for the destruction of all Runeterra. There are only two possible outcomes: either Kayn bends the weapon to his will. He wields the sentient darkin weapon Rhaast, undeterred by its creeping corruption of his body and mind.
A peerless practitioner of lethal shadow magic, Shieda Kayn battles to achieve his true destiny-to one day lead the Order of Shadow into a new era of Ionian supremacy.
