Ivern vs Kha'Zix

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ivern's unique camp marking to deny Kha'Zix camps without committing to direct duels.
Focus on utility scaling and protecting carries with shields and Daisy rather than early fights.
Prioritize counter-jungling and objective setups that avoid isolated 1v1s against Kha'Zix.

Jungle Plan

Use creative pathing to mark camps and deny Kha'Zix farm while avoiding isolated fights.
Contest river control and objectives only when lanes can provide reliable collapse to counter Kha'Zix's pick threat.
Track Kha'Zix's pathing to counter-gank and protect priority lanes before attempting cross-map plays or objective setups.

Danger windows

Beware isolated river fights where Kha'Zix can use stealth and (Q) isolation damage to burst you.
Avoid low-health clears that leave you vulnerable to Kha'Zix's resets and pick attempts.
Respect forced smite fights on objectives where Kha'Zix's single-target damage and isolation can win control.

Early game

Start with a full clear that allows safe buff sharing and avoids isolated encounters.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to collapse on Kha'Zix.
Avoid early direct fights unless teammates can quickly collapse on Kha'Zix to punish his isolation reliance.

Power spikes

Respect Kha'Zix's level 6 stealth and evolved (E) resets by grouping and denying isolated targets.
Use Ivern's utility scaling with shields and Daisy to outscale Kha'Zix's burst in extended fights.
Punish Kha'Zix before his first damage item by invading with vision support and denying camps.

Win conditions

Convert creative jungle routing into denying Kha'Zix camps and forcing him into grouped fights.
Use shields, (Q) root, and Daisy to enable teammates to collapse on Kha'Zix and secure objectives.
Prioritize vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to prevent Kha'Zix from isolating targets and snowballing picks.
