Kayn vs Kha'Zix

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears to safely collect orbs and progress toward form without risking early fights against Kha'Zix.
Use Kayn's superior clear speed and wall mobility to avoid Kha'Zix's early skirmishes and maintain jungle tempo.
Focus on scaling through form timing and terrain-based ganks to outmaneuver Kha'Zix's isolation picks.

Jungle Plan

Path for efficient full clears while using wall routes to bypass wards and evade Kha'Zix's vision control.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes have priority to deny Kha'Zix isolation opportunities.
Use terrain-based ganks on pushed or overextended lanes to exploit Kha'Zix's weaker grouped skirmishes and force objectives.

Danger windows

Beware of Kha'Zix's early isolated river fights where he can burst down camps or invade with stealth.
Avoid low-health clears near river entrances where Kha'Zix can capitalize on isolation damage and resets.
Exercise caution during forced objective setups when Kha'Zix can isolate and pick off separated targets with fog control.

Early game

Start with a full clear path that maximizes orb collection and avoids early river fights where Kha'Zix can isolate and punish.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support and collapse on Kha'Zix's counterplay.
Avoid early invades before form; instead, track Kha'Zix's pathing to set up counter-ganks and punish isolated camps.

Power spikes

At level 6, use Kayn's (R) untargetability and wall mobility to outplay Kha'Zix's stealth and reset potential.
After form transformation, leverage Kayn's increased dueling and skirmishing power to pressure isolated targets and objectives.
Respect Kha'Zix's first damage item spike that enhances his isolation burst; avoid solo fights without vision support.

Win conditions

Maintain clear tempo and collect form safely to unlock Kayn's mid-game power and skirmishing potential.
Use Kayn's wall traversal and (W) knockup to create unexpected gank angles on lanes pushed or overextended.
Control vision around dragon and Rift Herald to deny Kha'Zix isolated picks and convert tempo into objective control.
