Kayn vs Evelynn

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize safe full clears to secure form orbs and avoid risky early fights that delay transformation.
Use Kayn's superior clear speed and wall traversal to path away from Evelynn's early invade attempts and maintain tempo.
Focus on mid-game power spikes post-transformation to leverage terrain ganks and skirmishing against Evelynn's stealth and pick threat.

Jungle Plan

Path aggressively around the map to collect form orbs while avoiding Evelynn's early river and jungle pressure.
Only contest Scuttle or invade when your lanes have priority and Evelynn is spotted on the opposite side.
Use post-6 terrain mobility to gank pushed or isolated lanes, denying Evelynn opportunities to flank or pick.

Danger windows

Be cautious during early low-health clears when Evelynn can invade and punish your slower early dueling.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Evelynn's charm and stealth can lead to lethal picks.
Respect Evelynn's post-6 roam potential and flank angles, especially when your lanes lack vision or priority.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit level 6 quickly without losing camps to Evelynn's early invade attempts.
Avoid contesting early Scuttle Crab unless nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Use wall paths to evade Evelynn's scouting and reduce risk of being caught during low-health clears.

Power spikes

Kayn's major spike is post-transformation; use this to force fights that favor your chosen form and terrain advantage.
Evelynn spikes at level 6 with camouflage and burst; respect her pick threat by avoiding isolated or low-vision areas pre-transformation.
Kayn's fast clear speed and mobility provide tempo advantage early; leverage this to secure objectives before Evelynn can respond.

Win conditions

Convert form transformation timing into aggressive terrain ganks to pressure Evelynn's vulnerable lanes.
Deny Evelynn free farm by invading or counter-jungling when she is forced to full clear safely.
Control river vision and objectives to limit Evelynn's pick opportunities and secure dragons and Rift Herald for mid-game advantage.
