Kha'Zix vs Nidalee

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize isolation picks and fog control to punish Nidalee's early invade and poke threat.
Manage pathing to avoid grouped river fights where Nidalee's poke and mobility dominate.
Focus on snowballing through objective-side assassinations rather than extended teamfights.

Jungle Plan

Full clear with pathing toward isolated camps to maximize (Q) damage and pick potential.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when lanes can collapse for counter-ganks or when Nidalee is low health.
Prioritize invading Nidalee after first damage item spike and when vision denies her safe entry to camps.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights around early Scuttle when Nidalee has full health and spear cooldown.
Beware Nidalee's early invade attempts at level 2-3 when your clear is incomplete or health is low.
Be cautious contesting objectives if lanes lack priority to prevent collapsing on you during Nidalee's poke and mobility window.

Early game

Start with a clear path that allows access to isolated camps and avoid early Nidalee invade zones.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and Nidalee is spotted on opposite side.
Avoid fighting Nidalee early without health or vision advantage due to her fast clears and poke.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) stealth and evolution choices, enabling stronger picks and repositioning; use fog to isolate Nidalee.
First damage item greatly increases isolation burst; use this to invade and punish Nidalee's camps before she can respond.
Respect Nidalee's early level 2-3 fast clear and poke damage; avoid early isolated fights without advantage.

Win conditions

Use fog and vision denial to isolate and pick Nidalee or her nearby laners before objectives.
Snowball through counter-jungling after first damage item spike to deny Nidalee's tempo and objective control.
Convert isolated kills into dragon or Rift Herald control by coordinating with lanes holding priority.
