Kayn's passive, The Darkin Scythe, is what triggers his transformation.
Rhaast, the Darkin version of Kayn, focuses on hard CC, healing based on damage dealt, and taking down tanks, while Shadow Assassin focuses on killing squishies very quickly.
Kayn is unique because he is the only champion that is able to switch their core skillset around to match the enemy team comp after the game has started.
