Verdict. Red form. The sustain bruiser that stays relevant in coordinated fights. Q and W shred plus healing let him keep fighting after he commits, unlike most one-way divers.
- Form-specific
Why Kayn (Rhaast) gets an A
Most divers pay for their entry with their life. Rhaast pays in installments. His healing scales with damage dealt, so a fight with several bodies in range keeps refilling him, and the front line built to stall him is also what keeps him alive.
That is what separates him from the one-way divers. His commitment is not a single throw that either kills the target or kills him. It is a position he can hold, because the longer the fight runs the more his sustain has collected.
Sustain needs time, and burst does not give it
If the enemy stacks damage into one window before the healing accumulates, he dies like any other diver. Umbral Trespass is the answer, but only if it is saved for their damage spike rather than spent as extra damage.
Hold the untargetable window for their burst, not your combo, and the back half of the fight is yours.

How this grade was judged
The grade weighs range, target access, sustained and burst damage, crowd control, mobility, durability, healing and shielding, resets, cooldown structure, objective and formation control, split pressure, and how well the champion survives a long fight. Builds and forms that scale differently are graded separately. This is Vambient's gameplay evaluation of coordinated late-game fights, not a win-rate calculation. Full methodology.

The grade measures one thing: how much a champion can influence a coordinated late-game objective fight once both teams reach full builds. It does not measure early strength, snowballing, or win rate. A weak late-game champion still wins by ending the game first, which is what the rest of the library teaches. How the grades are decided.
