Best Counters:

  • Rengar
  • Ivern
  • Nunu & Willump
  • Zac
  • Karthus

Early Game Strategy:

  • Counter-gank to match his early kill pressure
  • Ward objectives (Dragon/Rift Herald) as he can solo them easily with Q
  • Avoid isolated fights when no minions or camps are nearby
  • His Passive deals bonus damage to isolated targets

Mid-Game Tactics:

  • Stay grouped to nullify his Passive bonus damage
  • Don't walk alone through river when Kha'Zix is missing
  • Apply crowd control immediately when he uses his jump (E)
  • Monitor his evolution choices at level 6

Power Spike Windows:

  1. Level 6 (First evolution)
  2. First item completion
  3. Mid-game phase (Primary power window)

Key Counter Tips:

  • Group closely to prevent isolation damage
  • Lock him down with CC when he engages
  • Maintain vision control around objectives
  • Pick champions with strong CC or durability
  • Coordinate with team during teamfights

Strong Counter Picks:

  • Rengar (Strong duelist)
  • Ivern (Shield and CC)
  • Nunu (Tanky with CC)
  • Zac (Engage and CC)
  • Karthus (Area control)

Remember: Kha'Zix excels at picking off isolated targets and snowballing through the mid-game. Focus on team coordination and vision control to minimize his impact.

Champions to Avoid:

  • Squishy junglers
  • Champions lacking CC
  • Solo-oriented playstyles
