How to beat Kha'Zix

Common role: Jungle

An assassin that gets bonus damage and stealth for hunting isolated targets.

What makes Kha'Zix dangerous

Kha'Zix deals massive bonus damage to isolated targets (no allies nearby), leaps in and out with his E, and his ultimate grants repeated stealth to reposition and reset. He evolves his abilities to specialize, and he deletes a lone carry in one combo while staying nearly untouchable.

How to play against Kha'Zix

• 1Stay grouped — his entire kit rewards catching you isolated. Standing next to an ally removes his bonus damage and, evolved, his stealth trigger.
• 2Buy a Control Ward and sweeper — his ultimate stealth is how he engages and escapes. Revealing him strips his safety.
• 3Peel with hard CC. Once he leaps in, a stun or root before he can E out catches the slippery assassin.
• 4Track his early jungle — like most assassins he wants to snowball. Warding and grouping through the mid-game denies his pick pattern.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Bonus damage requires you to be isolated — grouping shuts it off.
• ✓Squishy — hard CC and burst punish him after he leaps in.
• ✓Reveal/sweepers counter his stealth ultimate.
• ✓Weaker into teamfight-oriented, peel-heavy comps.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Kha'Zix's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  无形威胁

  附近陷入孤立无援状态的敌人会被标记出来。卡兹克的技能会与孤立无援的目标产生交互作用。当卡兹克没有被敌方队伍所看见时，他会获得无形威胁，使他的下次对敌方英雄发动的普通攻击造成额外魔法伤害，并使目标减速数秒。

  Strong: bonus damage and, evolved, stealth against isolated targets. Weak: stand next to an ally and both the bonus damage and stealth trigger vanish.

• Q
  品尝恐惧

  对目标造成物理伤害。对孤立无援的目标造成的伤害会提高。如果他选择进化收割利爪的话，这个技能会在对抗孤立无援的目标时返还一部分冷却时间。卡兹克也会提升他的普通攻击和品尝恐惧的距离。

• W
  虚空突刺

  卡兹克发射爆炸性的尖刺，对命中的敌人造成物理伤害。卡兹克如果在爆炸范围内，则会回复生命值。如果他选择进化刺鞘的话，虚空突刺现在会呈锥形发射三个尖刺，减速被命中的敌人并使被命中的敌方英雄显形2秒。孤立无援的目标会被减速额外的幅度。

• E
  跃击

  卡兹克跳向一个区域，在着陆时造成物理伤害。如果他选择进化虫翼的话，跃击的距离会提升200并在击杀和助攻时重置冷却时间。

  Strong: leaps in and, evolved, back out — his engage and escape. Weak: CC him after he leaps in, before he can E out, to catch the assassin.

• R
  虚空来袭

  每升一级此技能都会允许卡兹克进化他的一项技能，给予该技能独特的附加效果。在激活【虚空来袭】时，会使卡兹克变成隐形状态，触发无形威胁并提升移动速度。如果他选择进化动态遮蔽的话，【虚空来袭】获得已提升的隐形持续时间，以及一次额外的使用次数。

  Strong: repeated stealth to reposition and reset. Weak: Control Wards and sweepers reveal him and strip his safety.

Itemization

Kha'Zix is burst AD. Armor (Zhonya's on AP carries, Plated Steelcaps, Randuin's) and grouping beat him; a Control Ward denies his stealth. Never walk alone in the mid-game and he loses his whole gameplan.
