Kha'Zix is a powerful jungle assassin who excels at isolating and eliminating targets. His versatile playstyle allows for aggressive ganking, efficient farming, and strong invade potential.

Core Abilities Overview:

• Q (Taste Their Fear): Primary damage ability, deals bonus damage to isolated targets
• W (Void Spike): Provides AOE damage, healing, and slow
• E (Leap): Mobility tool for ganks and escapes
• R (Void Assault): Grants invisibility and evolution opportunities

Evolution Priority:

1. Q Evolution (First): Increased range and reduced cooldown against isolated targets
2. W Evolution (Second): Enhanced slow and wider cone of spikes
3. E Evolution (Third): Increased jump range with reset on kills/assists
4. R Evolution (Situational): Extended stealth duration

Standard Combo: R-W-E-AA-Q-AA

• Start with R for stealth approach
• Cast W for slow
• Follow with E to close gap
• Execute AA-Q-AA combo for maximum damage

Pro Tip: Using R immediately after auto-attack applies passive damage without interrupting visibility.

Core Build Path: Starting Items:

• Hailblade
• Refillable Potion

Essential Items:

• Duskblade of Draktharr

Playstyle Tips:

• Focus on isolated targets for maximum damage

• Clear jungle efficiently with W healing
• Counter-jungle when enemy jungler shows on map
• Look for picks before objectives

When to Pick:

• Enemy team has squishy carries

Note: Success with Kha'Zix relies heavily on positioning and target selection. Practice isolated damage mechanics and evolution timing for optimal performance.
