Overview

Prioritize controlling river brush with plants to limit Kayn's wall-path ganks.

Exploit Kayn's low early pressure by contesting Scuttle when lanes have priority.

Jungle Plan

Focus on pathing through brush-heavy routes to maximize plant zone control and root setups.
Prioritize Scuttle fights when your lanes have priority to deny Kayn vision and form progress.
Use root and (R) knockup to punish Kayn's gank angles and force him into defensive clears.

Full clear quickly to reach level 3 and secure brush control before Kayn completes form.
Contest first Scuttle only if adjacent lanes can move first and support counter-ganks.
