Yuumi
Another huge issue. This one is similar to Lulu. Not only does Yuumi disable your isolation, she also is a great support that can protect her carry's. Without putting herself in danger. Just be aware of that when going for the picks.
Yuumi
if you get ahead, having a yuumi on you that constantly roams with you enables you to do whatever you want. Nobody will be able to outduel you and you can easily counterjungle anyone. Again, that only applies when you are ahead. Make sure to constantly move around the map and go for kills or waves so yuumi doesn't miss out on too much XP.

Hey guys! I stream on Twitch (No fixed schedule yet but I am working on that)
I play Kha'Zix a lot. I have played Kha'Zix ever since I have started playing League of Legends which was in Season 4. I was watching an LCS game and I was just fascinated by this champion. Ever since I started maining this champion. I wouldn't call myself an OTP but I am definitely a main Kha'Zix. I am currently playing on my smurf (Road to Master) - Feel free to jump in and say hi at any time. Ask me any questions you might have. I also explain all my next moves to make sure you guys stay educated and get an idea of what I think like. Maybe you can adapt my playstyle or mix it up with your own. Any support is greatly appreciated! In this guide, my aim is to keep you guys educated and updated on Kha'Zix's current and future state. This guide will help you truly understand the ins and outs of this champion. There is a lot to take in so the goal is to get as much information as possible into your brain here. By the end of this guy, you should know a lot more about Kha'Zix which will hopefully help you understand his kit and better yet, help you climb even further! Feel free to skip to the sections that are relevant for you. This guide is inspired by Tinjus so make sure to check him out - Great guy and an excellent Kha'Zix player! - Let's get started.

Updates!
This guide will constantly be updated to ensure that it is always up to date and moves with the meta. So you can expect changes in this guide. This way you constantly adapt to the meta and don't stick to a rusty and outdated guide. But we all are used to change. As our beloved Kha'Zix always says;


About Kha'Zix

You either hate or love this Champion. Kha'Zix is known for his excellent assassination on targets out of position. Kha'Zix has tremendous power as well as a very high amount of utility which makes him the deadly assassin that he is. Kha'Zix is very flexible in terms of his kit. Many beginners believe that this champion is monotonous but that's not really the case. In fact, Kha'Zix is an assassin like no other. His kit, which includes the evolution concept, offers him so much variety. Kha'Zix can adapt to any type of gameplay depending on your own and the enemy team. That is what separates Kha'Zix from other assassins. Although there are assassins that offer the same amount of damage and mobility, there is no other assassin that can easily adapt to any given scenario like Kha'Zix. An experienced Kha'Zix player will be able to adapt to any composition and playstyle by using his evolution feature.
Chances are, you have been one-shot by a Kha'Zix before at some point in your career. Although Kha'Zix offers such a huge amount of damage, there are certain things that a Kha'Zix player has to look at. Many believe that this champion is all about jumping in, slashing one enemy, and then jump from one to the other. In reality Kha'Zix is a lot about decision making and making use of his isolation. (

With this champion, you have to pick your fights wisely. Do not expect to deal the same amount of damage on non-isolated targets as this will greatly reduce your damage and decrease your chance of winning that fight. You have to consider all possible outcomes before engaging to make sure that you are indeed able to kill your target. Especially pre-E-Evolve since you won't be able to escape that easily.
Kha'Zix lacks a good amount of health and Crowd Control (CC) - Ganking lanes with a decent amount of gank-assist (CC in general) is very helpful as this makes ganking non-isolated targets easier. He compensates for his lack of CC with the amount of damage he has to offer, so pulling off a gank should be fairly easy depending on the scenario. Make sure to pick your fights wisely as mentioned and do not over-commit to targets that are out of your reach. Play it smart!


So as you can tell



Now, this is where the heart of Kha'Zix is. This is what makes Kha so special and separates him from the crowd of assassins. Here you will find more knowledge about his evolution, how and why it is so effective and useful in and against any composition.
I mentioned that Kha'Zix is very flexible and can adapt to any situation. This means that there is no specific order that you should use. A good Kha'Zix player will know what to evolve and in which order. Q is very good for faster clearing, dueling potential, and DPS. W is efficient for team fighting and peeling if used correctly and R is good for mobility and utility which can be strong in skirmishes if you encounter a lot of 2v2s 2v3s etc. So do not expect a specific order as there is no set in stone order. It comes down to personal preference, playstyle, and environment. Knowing this is very important as this piece of information helps you adapt to every game. Don't get too comfortable spamming one order as this can be a reason that you are potentially losing games as Kha'Zix. Pay close attention, this part of the guide is very important.

Evolved Reaper Claws - DPS / Dueling Tool |
The evolved version of
Taste Their Fear allows the ability's cooldown to be reduced by 60% when used on isolated targets. Furthermore, this increases the range of
Taste Their Fear and auto-attack range. This is your go-to evolution for dueling ANYONE.
With this evolution, you get significantly more dueling potential. There is little to zero champions that can potentially out-duel you at this point when isolated. This enables faster clearing as well as objectives. Killing drakes on your own with the evolved

Evolved Spike Racks - Supportive Addition |
Evolved
Void Spike shoots 3 instead of 1 void spike in a cone form, similar to Graves' Q. The evolved version increases the slow to 60% on isolated enemies and is an essential tool for Kha'Zix.

Evolved Wings - Gap Closer / Teamfight Tool |
This is what turns
Kha'Zix into a grasshopper. You probably have seen a Kha'Zix jump around multiple times. This is due to his evolution that not only significantly increases his range on this ability but also grants a complete reset on the cooldown every time Kha'Zix gets a kill or assist.
This evolution is probably Kha'Zix's signature ability.

Evolved Adaptive Cloaking - Utility |
The evolved version of
Void Assault is more or less Kha'Zix's main utility. This ability is used for a fast pace and catching out isolated targets out of their position.
It is also the only ability that harmonizes with your passive,






Evolution Orders
As clarified earlier, there is no set in stone order that you must follow. Your evolution order should depend on the game. Pick the right evolution order for your game and adapt to the environment around you. Adapt and overcome!
There are three known evolution orders. Anything else would be considered highly off-meta. Stick to these:
Q > E > W / R



This order is the most known and used order out there. Early Q evolve allows you to have that extra DPS for increasing your dueling power as well as faster clearing speed. Going with E second helps to transition into the mid-game where the team fights slowly but surely begin. W late game is quite efficient for picking out targets and playing more of a supportive assassinate. R also works perfectly to allow that extra utility if you require that.
Q > W > E / R



There is not much to say here. This is basically the same as the first but its more team fight oriented since you evolve W first here. This evolution mainly focuses on peeling and team fighting. Use

R > E > Q / W



Pretty good dueling, juking, and outplay potential in early and mid-game. Evolved



As mentioned, please understand that there is no specific order and that these orders are just to give you an idea. This order can vary for each match up and these are usually the go-to evolutions. You can't do much wrong with these but they're all unique and offer a different play style. This is what makes
Kha'Zix so unique. Be aware of that. If you would like to know more about that, feel free to come by at Twitch.Tv/Hxriis and come ask me. More than happy to clarify any questions.


Jungle Path
This bit of


BLUE START
Blue Buff >


You can also smite scuttle crab if you know that it hasn't been contested or if you want to keep it for the other scuttle crab once you recalled. Totally up to you and your personal preference.
RED START
Red Buff >


Here I advise you to keep your smite up till the scuttle crab. After finishing the gromp you can also hit the Scryer's Bloom (Vision Plant) to see if the crab is being contested by the enemy jungle. By doing that you can either go contest the scuttle, since your early game is very very strong, or take the information, finish gromp and go for the other side of the map and finish botside scuttle. Many players underestimate the damage of



Skirmishes and Ganking



Most of the time you want to read the map before doing scuttle. This is truly important because you want to see the current status of your lanes. For example, you just finished krugs and want to go for the scuttle crab now. Ideally, your lanes have priority to ensure that you get the required assistance in an early skirmish way faster than the enemy jungle. This ensures the early dominance that you want to see, the aggressive playstyle. If you fail to have priority on either lane you essentially go for a gank. If you are pre level 6, i highly recommend you to use the jungle paths next to the river to catch the enemy by surprise. This allows you to keep your




When having priority:
You have to understand that this plays a big role in your role. Having an early priority in both lanes can be beneficial in so many ways. Especially in lower elos it is much better punishable. Early priority allows you to contest the scuttle crab without any competition. If for whatever reason, the enemy jungle decides to contest it, you can simply leave the scuttle crab as for now (unless it's close to a smite battle) and focus on the enemy jungle. Let's take


Make sure to take advantage of the priority that is given to you as this is a powerful tool and can help you get that significant early impact you want.
See how your teammates can rotate much quicker due to their priority? This essentially means that you are almost guaranteed to win the skirmish since your support is coming much much quicker to your assistance than the enemy team. Always keep that in mind. Let's see what the outcome is when you do not have priority on either lane and talk about possible options.


When having NO priority:
Notice the difference? It's pretty obvious but let's talk through it. It's the complete opposite. You have NO priority at all! In this case contesting the scuttle crab would be a suicide mission. I highly recommend you either go straight to the bot side scuttle crab by taking the fastest route at this point. This will compensate for the loss of the top side scuttle crab. But there are positives for the loss as well! Yea, you might have lost the crab but once again you gained more new and valuable information. You and your teammates now know that the enemy jungle is currently doing the scuttle crab on in the top river. This information can be used for them to adapt their playstyle. Mid and Top might want to be careful if it's an aggressive early game jungle, like Lee Sin. On the other side, the enemy team can easily locate you as well now. It has ups and downs, but you can adapt accordingly to your environment. After finishing bot scuttle crab I suggest you either look for a gank on bot or mid. Keep in mind that Lee Sin could be around mid as well. Quickly measure whether you are able to take a 2v2. If yes, take your chances and play it smart. If you know for sure that you will not be able to win that 2v2, go for a bot gank if possible.
Do not feel forced to gank botlane if it's not possible. It's much better to stick to the safe option.
Even if your teammates are begging for ganks, do not let that distract you. Let them know that you will gank once the opportunity is given and communicate with them to keep them tilt-proof.


Epic Monsters
Epic monsters are very important when it comes to securing the game by using your early lead. I personally always aim to secure early drakes after successful ganks to ensure constant pressure and dominance. Especially once you have evolved





Obviously, the same rule applies for


This will essentially help you make Invading so much easier and keep on putting that pressure and dominance.

Invading

If you are facing a matchup that you easily stomp, then you can look for invades more often. You want to read the map and track the enemy jungler continuously. Make sure to pay attention to the map. If the enemy jungler is ganking bot and you are top at that point, make sure to secure either a gank, invade his jungle or secure Rift Herald if its past 8 minute mark. Make sure to invade the enemy jungle as soon as you see them on the map as this will allow you to gather a resource advantage that will significantly increase your potential of snowballing the game. Not only are you gaining resources for yourself but you are also denying resources for the enemy jungle. It might also mentally affect the enemy jungler slightly. Make sure to pressure them in any way possible.
