Khazix Jungle guide

Kha'Zix jungle hunts Isolated targets: Taste Their Fear (Q) hits harder on an Isolated enemy, Leap (E) closes the gap onto them, and Void Assault (R) turns him invisible to retrigger Unseen Threat (passive) for a bonus-damage slow on the engage.

The build

Rune page: First Strike, Cash Back, Triple Tonic, and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration), with Treasure Hunter and Sudden Impact (Domination). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Q, W, E, then maxes Taste Their Fear (Q) first with Void Spike (W) second, evolving Void Assault (R) at level 6 and again at 12. Starter: Gustwalker Hatchling and a Health Potion, into Ionian Boots of Lucidity. Core build: Umbral Glaive, Voltaic Cyclosword, and Edge of Night, with Serylda's Grudge, Hubris, and Youmuu's Ghostblade as later options.

Ability mechanics

Taste Their Fear (Q) deals bonus physical damage to Isolated targets, and evolving Reaper Claws refunds part of its cooldown against them while extending its range and his basic attack range. Void Spike (W) fires an exploding spike that heals Kha'Zix if he's caught in the blast; evolved into Spike Racks, it fires three spikes in a cone that slow and reveal enemy champions, hitting Isolated targets with an extra slow. Void Assault (R) grants Invisibility and bonus Move Speed on every cast and retriggers Unseen Threat (passive), while Leap (E) closes distance and, evolved into Wings, gains extra range and resets on a takedown.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Naafiri, Kayn, Jarvan IV, Graves, Sylas. Best matchups: Lee Sin, Master Yi, Viego.
