Attacking enemy champions temporarily increases Movement Speed, making it easier to chase and reposition, while each hit also restores Health. An excellent choice for auto-attackers who need mobility and consistent sustain in combat.TIPS: Finally, for your items, you should build Youmuu's Ghostblade (Increases Movement Speed) as your first item, followed by Berserker's Greaves (Grants Attack Speed) (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Eclipse (Gain a shield and deal bonus damage).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in Gunmetal Greaves (Increases Attack Speed and Movement Speed).
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

3000Black Cleaver TIPS: This item is perfect for champions who deal physical damage and need to fight tanky opponents.

After taking magic damage from an enemy champion, you gain a magic shield that helps absorb follow-up spells, while the bonus Magic Resistance and Tenacity make you far more resilient against AP threats and crowd control. They are an excellent choice against teams with heavy magic damage and strong CC.TIPS: Finally, for your items, you should build Black Cleaver (Physical Damage reduces Armor) as your first item, followed by Plated Steelcaps (Reduces damage from champion attacks) or Mercury's Treads (Reduces Magic Damage) depending on the situation. (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Eclipse (Gain a shield and deal bonus damage).

01 / JUNGLE CLEAR / PATHING
full clear with a leashless Raptor start
GANK
GANKThe Pro Kayn Jungle Path has a full clear that starts on the Raptors. Unlock (Q) REAPING SLASH and clear Raptors since it doesn't require a leash from the bot lane due to the huge amount of AoE damage this skill provides. After killing the Raptors and reaching level two, high elo Kayn players tend to level up the (E) SHADOW STEP skill which allows Kayn to travel through walls. By using (E) SHADOW STEP, you can travel through the Red Buff wall all the way to the Krugs to clear them quickly. After Krugs, next up is the Red Buff camp that grants you level three which allows you to upgrade (Q) REAPING SLASH. At this point move towards the Blue Buff side of the jungle and clear the Wolves, Blue Buff and Gromp. These give you level four and unlock (W) BLADE'S REACH. Scuttler is the last camp in this jungle path and after that you can gank a lane with the best kill potential so that you get a lot of transformation point.
This Kayn Jungle Clear prioritizes full clearing for most optimal scaling and allows you to also gank a lane first before going for the Scuttler, if a high kill opportunity arrises.
