Rhaast

Rhaast is a character in the popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game League of Legends, developed by Riot Games. Introduced in a rework of the champion Kayn in 2020, Rhaast embodies the dark, malevolent aspect of Kayn's shadow, representing the demonic, bloodthirsty form that Kayn can choose to wield.

As a melee bruiser and fighter, Rhaast specializes in sustained combat and high damage output against enemy champions. His abilities revolve around lifesteal, crowd control, and amplifying damage through his passive and active skills. Rhaast's primary mechanics include executing enemy champions with his "Undertow" ability, which launches a spinning scythe that can slow enemies and can be recast to explode for damage. His passive, "Reaping Slash," grants him healing and damage reduction when securing takedowns, emphasizing his survivability.

Rhaast's lore depicts him as a brutal, bloodthirsty entity seeking chaos and destruction. His design emphasizes his menacing, demonic presence, with visual effects that highlight his savage nature during combat. In gameplay, Rhaast is often played as a jungler or top laner, leveraging his sustain and damage to dominate fights.

Since his introduction, Rhaast has been a popular choice among players who favor aggressive playstyles, and his thematic ties to the darker aspects of Kayn's lore make him a notable character within the League of Legends universe. His unique mechanics and imposing design contribute to his distinct identity among the game's diverse roster of champions.
