Kha'Zix is a powerful assassin jungler who excels at punishing isolated targets and snowballing games. His versatile playstyle allows for effective ganking, power farming, and enemy jungle invasion.

Core Abilities

Q - Taste Their Fear

• Main damage ability and jungle clear tool
• Enhanced damage against isolated targets
• Evolved: Increased range and reduced cooldown on isolated targets

W - Void Spike

• AoE damage and healing
• Essential for jungle clear efficiency
• Evolved: Shoots three spikes, stronger slow against isolated targets

E - Leap

• Mobility tool for ganks and wall jumps
• Evolved: Increased range and reset on kills/assists

R - Void Assault

• Temporary invisibility and movement speed
• Allows ability evolution at levels 6, 11, and 16
• Evolved: Extended stealth duration

Optimal Evolution Order

1. Q (Level 6) - Enhanced damage and range
2. W (Level 11) - Better utility and crowd control
3. E/R (Level 16) - Situational choice based on game needs

Standard Combo R → W → E → AA → Q → AA

Combat tip: Using R immediately after an auto-attack triggers passive damage without breaking stealth.
