Kha'Zix vs Taliyah

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kha'Zix's isolation damage and stealth to punish Taliyah's moderate early pressure and medium invade resistance in jungle skirmishes.
Manage river control carefully to avoid grouped fights where Taliyah's zone control and displacement (W) limit your dueling impact.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing that exploits isolated jungle entrances and river fights where you can use (R) and (E) to pick off Taliyah.
Contest Scuttle and dragon only when your lanes can provide collapse support to prevent (R) map plays.
Use vision denial before objective setups to isolate and burst Taliyah or her teammates, then secure objectives quickly.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights when (W) displacement and (E) anti-dash zones are up.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority or vision control due to Taliyah's strong zone control.
Don't overcommit to invades if Taliyah's team can collapse quickly; you are vulnerable if caught out after using (E) or (R).

Early game

Start with a clear path that targets camps near lanes likely to isolate enemies for early picks.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to collapse on Taliyah's position.
Avoid early river invades unless vision confirms Taliyah is on the opposite side or low health.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) stealth to reposition for picks before objectives and force Taliyah to group defensively.
After first damage item, increase invade frequency to punish Taliyah's predictable movement and weaker early dueling.
Respect Taliyah's level 6 (R) for map plays; avoid isolated river fights when her ultimate is available.

Win conditions

Convert picks from isolated targets using (Q) and (R) into dragon or Rift Herald control with vision denial.
Use fog and stealth to counter-gank or invade when Taliyah commits (W) and (E) away from vision.
Snowball leads by forcing Taliyah into grouped fights where your isolation damage is less effective, then pick off stragglers or flank in teamfights.
