Kayn: two entry strikes and free equipped followers

Use two entry strikes to advance Kayn toward his level-up, then use the resulting Recall and replay to trigger Found Fortune again. Free followers help rebuild the board around an otherwise expensive champion.

The three-star heal-on-kill power supports the strikes. This setup trades the existing guide's recurring spell and SpellShield for another entry strike and immediate follower development. It doesn't guarantee an instant level-up when the enemy board can't supply two actual strikes.

Found Fortune

Play draws the highest-cost card below the champion's base cost, grants it an Epic item and makes it free. The starting deck's four-cost followers are intended targets. A drafted card or cost-changing item can alter which card is eligible.

Two Stalker's Blade copies

Each Summon trigger strikes the weakest enemy. Two equipped copies give two attempts, and the champion needs to have actually struck twice to level. If the first hit kills the only enemy, the second trigger has no target; it doesn't count as a successful second strike.

The draw relic is a Play effect, while the blades trigger on Summon. A summon without playing the champion can repeat the strikes but doesn't supply the free card draw.

Mulligan for a playable equipped ally, an early board and the champion when you can support his cost. Save enough defense to reach his entry; the relics provide no starting mana or opening discount.

Wait for legal strike targets when doing so is safe. Kills from the entry strikes can activate the three-star full heal and stat bonus, helping the champion continue through the next hit. A larger enemy that survives can still provide a valid strike for level-up progress.

When the level-up Recall him, replay the chosen form to get another Play draw and another pair of Summon triggers. Inspect the returned card's cost and the current enemy board before committing your mana. Choose the form for the fight rather than assuming every matchup needs the same finish.

Ranger-Knight Defector gains Scout once you've Equipped an ally that game. Noxian Defector grows its Power on attack to match your strongest equipped ally for the round. Both can help turn the champion's equipment and growth into a wider threat.

Keep board space for the free follower before playing it. The Epic item is random: inspect whether it changes the follower's survival, costs or summon behavior rather than planning around a guaranteed Capture or free attack.

Avoid adding competing eligible cards carelessly. More four-cost cards diversify the draw, but can make it harder to find the Scout attacker when that is the reason you equipped the draw relic.

Found Fortune comes from Gold Reliquaries, and the blades from the Rare pool. If you don't own the Epic, the original spell/protection setup provides a different sustained plan.

An encounter with few legal strike targets reduces the second blade's value. Protection may be worth more when targeted removal prevents the champion from staying in play. Don't count the free followers as an answer to the first few turns: they arrive after the initial champion Play, not at Game Start.
