  2. Red has CC, healing, percentage % dmg (good against tanks). Blue is more mobile and has potential for more damage (especially against squishes).
Kayn Lethality specific

How to play

General
  1. You build Lethality and wait for a moment to strike enemy squishes.
  2. Snowball / Mark is a crucial cooldown for playing this build. Do not waste it or even wait to hit the enemy at point-blank range to ensure hit (so you follow them, if they Flash).
  3. If an enemy team is full of tanks or bruisers, rush Serylda's Grudge or even Lord Dominik's Regards early (sometimes even #2). Black Cleaver is also an alternative. The key is to adapt to the enemy team.

Tips and Tricks

Riot
  1. Look at the line-up of both your team and the enemy's team when picking your form.
  2. Remember that nearby enemies can see which wall you're in.
