Hecarim vs Kha'Zix

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Hecarim's high clear speed to maintain jungle tempo and pressure lanes that overextend early.
Leverage Hecarim's mobility and ultimate fear to force objective fights and counter-gank Kha'Zix's isolated plays.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing through camps near pushed lanes to punish Kha'Zix when he overextends.
Use superior speed to counter-gank predictable Kha'Zix ganks and secure river control before dragon or Herald.
Force objective fights when (R) can reach carries from fog, denying Kha'Zix isolated targets and scaling.

Danger windows

Beware Kha'Zix invading isolated camps early when lanes cannot collapse quickly.
Avoid isolated river fights where Kha'Zix can use (R) stealth and (E) resets to burst.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority or vision as Kha'Zix can isolate and punish smite fights.

Early game

Full clear camps quickly to reach level 3 before contesting Scuttle or invading.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support and prevent Kha'Zix isolation picks.
Avoid early isolated fights in river without vision as Kha'Zix thrives on fog and isolation.

Power spikes

At level 6, Hecarim's (R) fear engage allows forcing fights and objective control before Kha'Zix can isolate.
Hecarim's fast clear speed and high mobility spike mid-game, enabling tempo resets and cross-map pressure.
Respect Kha'Zix's level 6 (R) stealth and evolved abilities that increase his pick potential; avoid isolated fights without vision.

Win conditions

Convert fast camp cycling and lane pressure into objective-side engages using (R) fear to lock down carries.
Punish Kha'Zix's isolated farming by invading with vision support and collapsing with lanes.
Use superior mobility to counter-gank and force grouped fights denying Kha'Zix's isolation damage and pick threat.
