Notes
This build can be played as red AP or blue AP Kayn.
How it works
You rush Hextech Rocketbelt #1, Liandry's Torment #2.
You get Cosmic Insight rune to use Hextech Rocketbelt more often.
You poke with Hextech Rocketbelt and First Strike to earn gold and burn enemies.
After core items, you adapt. You can play as a tank or as a damage dealer.
How to play
Use Hextech Rocketbelt active to poke your enemies all the time, earning gold with First Strike.
Adapt to the enemy team. Build tanky or more damage. You can play as a utility tank, poke, or even you can go some AD items to still have plenty of damage. Depends on the team and how you want to play.
For utility tank, remember that Liandry's Torment works good with Serpent's Fang (to counter shields) and Oblivion Orb (to counter healing).
Cosmic Insight reduces cooldown of all active items, so Zhonya's Hourglass really works well with this build.
Wait for the First Strike and proc it with your combo, to deal damage and earn gold.
Be careful to not get poked, because you waste First Strike procs.
This build can be played both as Red Kayn (CC and better vs tanks/bruisers) or Blue Kayn (more mobility and fun).
Transformation is really important for this build. Do not hesitate to wait for it for some time in spawning pool.
Red/Blue: Your main combo is First Strike + Hextech Rocketbelt + W + Q + and go full in, with auto attacks + Ignite + R, then more Qs or get away with E/Q.
Red/Blue: Your alternate combo just for poke is First Strike + Hextech Rocketbelt + W.
