Kha'Zix vs Poppy

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kha'Zix's isolation damage and stealth to punish Poppy's limited mobility and lack of dash early in jungle skirmishes.
Manage vision to avoid Poppy's strong anti-dash zone and wall stuns, focusing on picks rather than grouped fights.
This is a snowball matchup where Kha'Zix must leverage early picks and objective pressure to outpace Poppy's tank utility.

Jungle Plan

Path toward isolated camps and river entrances where you can use (R) and (E) to pick off Poppy or her teammates.
Fight for first Scuttle only if your lanes can collapse to help, otherwise focus on clean clears and counter-jungling isolated camps.
Use vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to create picks and deny Poppy safe objective access.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights near walls where Poppy can stun with (E) and deny your (E) mobility with (W).
Be cautious contesting objectives when (R) is available to knock you away and disrupt smite fights.
Watch for early invades when Poppy's nearby lanes have priority and can collapse quickly on you.

Early game

Start with a clear path that allows quick access to river Scuttle for vision and contesting control.
Avoid early fights near walls where Poppy can stun and deny your mobility with (W).
Prioritize healthy clears and only contest Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to avoid collapsing on you.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) stealth to reposition for picks before objectives and force Poppy to group defensively.
First damage item spike increases your burst on isolated targets; invade and punish camps when Poppy's lanes can't collapse.
Respect Poppy's level 6 (R) knockaway which can reset fights or disengage your all-ins.

Win conditions

Use fog and vision denial to isolate and burst Poppy or her teammates before objectives.
Snowball by invading isolated camps and forcing Poppy to play reactively, denying her jungle tempo.
Convert picks into dragon or Rift Herald control to extend map pressure and limit Poppy's teamfight impact.
