Kha'Zix vs Shaco

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kha'Zix's strong isolation damage and stealth to punish Shaco's reliance on deception and traps in jungle paths.
Focus on controlling river vision and contesting isolated camps to prevent Shaco from snowballing early cheese ganks.

Jungle Plan

Path toward isolated jungle entrances and camps where you can use (Q) and (R) to burst Shaco before he can react.
Invade and counter-jungle when Shaco's boxes are on cooldown or vision is denied to reduce his objective control.
Use vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to create picks and deny Shaco's trap setups before starting objectives.

Danger windows

Beware Shaco's early level 2-3 invade cheese and ganks when his (Q) invisibility and boxes create surprise pressure.
Avoid isolated river fights where Shaco's stealth and traps can turn fights against you.
Be cautious contesting objectives if lanes lack priority to collapse on you during Smite fights or low-health clears.

Early game

Start with a clear path that allows quick access to river Scuttle and isolated enemy camps to leverage Kha'Zix's dueling strength.
Avoid early fights if Shaco has set up boxes near river entrances; wait for fog or lane priority before contesting.
Prioritize securing first Scuttle only when nearby lanes can move first to avoid Shaco's early invade pressure.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) stealth and evolution choices; use fog to find isolated Shaco targets before objectives.
First damage item greatly increases isolation burst; invade and punish Shaco's camps when lanes can't collapse.
Respect Shaco's early level 2-3 gank and invade power spikes by avoiding isolated river fights without lane support.

Win conditions

Use (R) stealth and (Q) isolation damage to pick off Shaco when he is separated from his boxes or teammates.
Control vision around dragon and Rift Herald to force Shaco into grouped fights where his deception is less effective.
Snowball leads by counter-jungling Shaco's camps after successful picks and use superior dueling to deny his scaling.
