This is new to me and I’m not sure what it is supposed to do with Kayn.

Every time I ask about it in game I just have the Kayn player self mute so here’s hoping reddit can answer the question for me.

Is it OP? Is it a new meta rune for him sunfr First Strike nerfs?

    Summon Aery is a bit of a throwback to early Kayn lane tech (Happened 1-2 patches post release) where he used Deathfire Touch and Corrupting pot to stack orbs really quickly.

    The idea is, you deal damage, you get an orb, Aery procs, you get an extra orb. Since Aery’s cd is tied to travel distance, the closer you stay on a target, the easier it is to get multiple procs, which scale up Kayn’s passive faster and gives decent damage since you chase/cling to enemies well.

    With the Conq/First Strike nerfs, Aery isn’t a loss of potential damage anymore, it’s flexible for either Red or Blue Kayn, and the sorc tree has better scaling than Precision/Inspiration secondary masteries do. Longer games + Weaker keystones make Aery work better than it used to.
