Playing as Kha'Zix

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Ivern

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Keep your minions between you and Ivern: Rootcaller (Q) roots the first enemy hit, and his allies can then dash to you.

  2. Avoid his brush

    Don't fight in or near the brush from Brushmaker (W): Ivern and his nearby allies gain bonus magic damage on their autos there.

  3. Don't take three hits from Daisy

    Focus Daisy! (R) or leave her range before her 3rd consecutive auto on you: it triggers a shockwave that knocks everyone it hits into the air.

  4. Take his camps

    Take his camps while his groves grow: Friend of the Forest (passive) stops him from attacking non-epic monsters, so he has to wait for a grove to grow before he can free them.
