Guide to Synergizing Kayn and Pyke

Tips for Playing as Kayn with Pyke

Remember that nearby enemies can see which wall you're in.

Look at the line-up of both your team and the enemy's team when picking your form.

Advice to Understand How Pyke Will Play

The Tap version of Bone Skewer is much faster and deals additional damage.

A lot of your agressive spells are also your escapes. Make sure you always have a plan to get out of the fight.

Hitting an enemy with the Hold version of Bone Skewer will always pull them the same distance. Use it in melee range to throw targets behind you.

Pyke is very fragile so don't be afraid to temporarily run from a fight. You can regenerate a significant amount of health from Gift of the Drowned Ones when enemies can't see you.

Overall, Kayn sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Pyke. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This difference could signal that Pyke helps provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Kayn is played together with Pyke on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Pyke.

Is Kayn better when played alongside Pyke?

There is no one best champion pairing for Kayn that will always be his ideal teammate. However, Pyke is a relatively poor companion for Kayn. By locking into the same team as Kayn, he drops their win rate by -2.3% to 46.9%. This clearly indicates that there is a negative synergy between Kayn and Pyke that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Pyke has a lower difficulty than Kayn. That means Kayn players don't need to be cautious when arranging Pyke allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Playing on the same side, Kayn players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by bringing Kayn and Pyke together, you probably will not be providing your side a great deal of magic damage. Make sure to include other champions on your team that offsets this relative hole in their abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Pyke teammate, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
