Sejuani vs Kayn

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Sejuani should leverage her strong engage and CC to control river and objective entrances, denying Kayn safe farming and scaling.
Focus on grouping with melee lanes to maximize (E) stun stacks and gank impact, forcing Kayn into unfavorable fights.

Jungle Plan

Contest Scuttle when lane priority and numbers advantage are confirmed to establish river control.
Invade Kayn's jungle camps only if you track him on the opposite side and have nearby lane pressure to punish his slower early clears.
Use (R) to start grouped fights around dragon, Rift Herald, or Void Grubs, denying Kayn's form progression and forcing team engagements.

Danger windows

Kayn's post-level 6 form and high mobility create high risk for isolated river or jungle fights; avoid these without lane support.
Avoid fights when your mobility, Smite, or defensive cooldowns are down to prevent Kayn exploiting your reduced escape or engage options.
Losing lane priority around Scuttle, dragon, or Herald makes river contests dangerous; do not contest without vision control or numbers advantage.

Early game

Start with a controlled clear aiming to reach first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to collapse and assist.
Avoid early isolated invades against Kayn before level 6; prioritize cross-map farming or ganking opposite side lanes.
Use tankiness and crowd control to stall invades until laners can collapse for counter-ganks and secure vision.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for long-range engage, enabling Sejuani to initiate fights without walking into melee; use this around objective timers.
First tank item completion increases durability and clear speed, allowing Sejuani to front objective fights and absorb damage effectively.
Two tank items solidify frontline presence, letting Sejuani force teamfights where Kayn struggles to isolate targets and skirmish safely.

Win conditions

Use reliable CC and engage tools to force grouped fights around dragon, Rift Herald, and Void Grubs, denying Kayn safe farm and form progression.
Control objective entrances with tankiness and peel, converting jungle tempo into secured objectives and teamfight advantages.
If outnumbered, trade tempo into top-side camps or vision control instead of forcing risky dragon fights, maintaining pressure and scaling advantage.
