Playing as Kha'Zix
Tips to maximize your impact
- Pounce on isolated targets
Jump on an isolated target with Leap (E), then Taste Their Fear (Q): with no ally nearby, Unseen Threat (passive) marks them and the spell hits much harder.
- Vanish to reposition
In teamfights, cast Void Assault (R) to vanish and reposition: the invisibility triggers Unseen Threat (passive), and your next auto damages and slows.
- Heal with your spike
Detonate Void Spike (W) close to you in the jungle or in teamfights: you heal if you're inside the explosion area.
- Pick your evolutions well
Pick your evolutions to fit the game: evolved Leap (E) resets on each takedown, evolved Taste Their Fear (Q) gains range and a lower cooldown on isolated targets.
Playing against Diana
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her crescent
Dodge Crescent Strike (Q): without the mark, Lunar Rush (E) keeps its 22 to 14 second cooldown and she can't recast it.
- Play hard before she hits 6
Take trades before she hits level 6: without Moonfall (R), she has no pull or slow to keep you in melee range.
- Spread out from your allies
Spread out from your allies when she dives: Moonfall (R) pulls in nearby enemies and hits harder for each champion pulled.
