Kha'Zix vs Elise

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Kha'Zix must leverage isolation damage and fog control to punish Elise's early gank attempts and avoid grouped fights where Elise excels.
Prioritize clean isolation picks and objective-side skirmishes to outscale Elise's early pressure and snowball the map.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize invading Elise before her first reset when lanes cannot collapse quickly to deny her early gank pressure.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when nearby lanes hold priority to create isolated pick opportunities.
Use vision and fog to isolate Elise during objective setups, then punish her with burst and reset combos to secure dragon or Herald.

Danger windows

Be cautious of Elise's early three-camp into gank pathing, especially before level 6 when her (E) stun can secure kills.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Elise's (E) rappel and cocoon combo can punish overextensions.
Respect Elise's early objective setups where she can dive with support; avoid forced smite fights without lane priority.

Early game

Start with a path that secures a clean first clear to reach level 6 quickly and unlock stealth for safer river moves.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Elise's lethal early ganks.
Avoid full clears when Elise is likely to invade early; instead, path toward isolated camps and prepare to counter-invade.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) stealth and evolved abilities to reposition for isolated picks before Elise can respond.
After first damage item, increase invade frequency to punish Elise's weaker clears and force her off camps.
Respect Elise's early level 3 power spike and (E) stun threat by avoiding extended fights before your evolved damage arrives.

Win conditions

Convert isolated kills into dragon or Rift Herald control by using vision denial and fog to pick off Elise or her laners.
Use superior scaling and evolved (Q) isolation damage to snowball skirmishes and deny Elise's jungle farm.
Track Elise's pathing to counter-gank early ganks and force her into grouped fights where Kha'Zix's impact is reduced.
