Reaping Slash on
Kayn. As the match progresses, it is best to maximise
Reaping Slash into
Blade's Reach and at last
Shadow Step.
Reaping Slash is a very strong ability of
Kayn in order to build up a lead and dominate your opponents. The passive is called
The Darkin Scythe and there is no need to set it manually on a Kayn Build.

The Darkin Scythe
Kayn wields an ancient weapon and fights Rhaast, the darkin within it, for control. Either the Darkin will triumph, or Kayn will master Rhaast and become the Shadow Assassin.
Darkin: Heal for a percentage of spell damage dealt to champions.
Shadow Assassin: For the first few seconds in combat with enemy champions, deal bonus damage.
Biography
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. He wields the sentient darkin weapon Rhaast, undeterred by its creeping corruption of his body and mind. There are only two possible outcomes: either Kayn bends the weapon to his will... or the malevolent blade consumes him completely, paving the way for the destruction of all Runeterra.
Short Story: The Blade of Millenniaby Michael McCarthy
Kayn stood confidently in the shadow of the noxtoraa, surrounded by dead soldiers, and smiled at the irony. These triumphal arches of dark stone were raised to honor the strength of Noxus—to instill fear and to demand fealty from all who passed beneath them. Now this one was a tombstone, a monument to false strength and arrogance, and a symbol of the fallen warriors’ own fear turned against them.
Short Story: The Lureby Dan Abnett
Keelo always cried “Surprise!” when he attacked.
