Elise vs Kha'Zix

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Elise is a high-pressure early ganker who must leverage level 3 power to invade or force fights before Kha'Zix scales.
Prioritize early river control and contest Scuttle when nearby lanes can collapse to deny Kha'Zix isolated targets and objective setups.

Jungle Plan

Use early wards to track Kha'Zix pathing and invade before his first reset when lanes cannot collapse quickly.
Prioritize river and jungle entrances control to deny Kha'Zix isolation opportunities and force grouped fights.
Set up dragon and Rift Herald with vision and lane priority to leverage Elise's early gank threat and scaling denial.

Danger windows

Beware of Kha'Zix's level 6 power spike when he gains stealth and reset potential, especially in isolated river fights.
Avoid isolated jungle entrances or river paths without vision to prevent getting caught by Kha'Zix's stealth engage.
Exercise caution during forced smite fights or objective setups if nearby lanes lack priority to collapse on Kha'Zix.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade to maximize level 3 pressure and punish Kha'Zix's medium early pressure.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to collapse and prevent Kha'Zix from isolating targets.
Avoid full clears against Kha'Zix to maintain tempo and reduce risk of being counter-jungled or caught isolated.

Power spikes

Elise spikes at level 3 with (E) cocoon and rappel for lethal early ganks and invades; use this to force tempo.
Respect Kha'Zix's level 6 stealth (R) and evolved abilities that increase his pick potential; avoid isolated fights post-6 without vision.
Elise's early damage burst outpowers Kha'Zix before his first damage item; punish his jungle pathing and invade aggressively.

Win conditions

Convert early gank and invade pressure into lane leads and objective control before Kha'Zix scales.
Deny Kha'Zix isolated targets by controlling river vision and jungle entrances to reduce his pick and objective threat.
Use Elise's strong early dueling and crowd control to counter-gank and punish Kha'Zix's isolated plays, snowballing team advantage.
