Runes for Shadow Assassin Kayn
Conquerorworks better on Darkin Kayn because he’s expected to survive longer, and can therefore effectively stack the rune. But for Shadow Assassin Kayn, since he’s substantially more squishy, Conqueror is a risky choice.
Instead, opt forElectrocuteto ensure burst damage, which correlates far better with the lethality priority on Shadow Assassin Kayn. The rest of the runes are more or less the same, with the resolve tree falling far more on preference than meta.
