Kha'Zix Build 26.22

Kha'Zix is a hunter built to punish anyone standing alone. His Q hits far harder on isolated targets, his leap gets him in and out, and his evolutions let him retune his kit each game, upgrading isolation damage, range, or a reset that bounces him between kills. A fine but unremarkable pick at 49.8% and slipping this patch, he thrives when the enemy splits up. Catch a carry away from their team and they simply vanish, so track the map and strike where they are separated.

When Is Kha'Zix Strongest?

Power keeps building past the item spike into the second half, and games at this rank average around 28 minutes. The Kha'Zix game plan never changes: track a target that's wandered off, jump on them isolated, and reset the leap on the kill to slip back out.

Kha'Zix Item Build

Kha'Zix is an assassin built to hunt anyone caught alone. His damage spikes hard against isolated targets, so the build stacks burst and lets him evolve into more range, a longer leap, or extra stealth to take a carry apart.

Best Kha'Zix Runes

First Strike rewards him for opening on an unsuspecting target, which is exactly how he wants to fight. His stealth and leap let him land that first hit from an angle they never see, cashing in the bonus. Fill the rest with tools that help him clear and skirmish early. Getting paid for the ambush suits an assassin who lives on picks.

Kha'Zix scales into a terrifying picker once his items land. Build toward Umbral Glaive into Voltaic Cyclosword to give his isolation combo the burst it needs. You can lose lane and still take over once the items come online. Voltaic Cyclosword comes online at about the 17-minute mark, and from then a caught-out target dies before they can react, so hunt for those windows and build toward that timing.

Kha'Zix Skill Order

Every Void Assault rank buys an evolution on top of the rank, and the first lands at 6 with Taste Their Fear three points deep and Void Spike still waiting for the climb it starts at 9.

Kha'Zix Abilities

Void Spike is the piece his hunt talk leaves out, a ranged line that explodes for physical damage and heals him whenever he sits inside the blast. His passive, Unseen Threat, adds more: dropping out of the enemy's sight arms his next attack with bonus magic damage and a slow.

Kha'Zix Matchups

Kha'Zix lives and dies by isolation. When he catches a target away from their team his burst is brutal, but a group that stays tight and peels for its carry takes away the one thing his whole kit is built around.

Watch out for Warwick, Shyvana, and Sejuani, who can contest Kha'Zix early or group up to deny him isolated picks, so play around vision and skip coin-flip invades. His leap gives him an escape when a gank goes wrong, so respect the matchup and wait for a cleaner angle. He preys on Nunu & Willump, Zac, and Briar, so path toward those lanes and turn every isolated pick into a snowball.
