Kha'Zix Tips and Tricks

Kha’Zix is an early-game powerhouse. Focus on skirmishing and ganking as much as possible to help yourself and your team get ahead early. He excels in 1v1 duels, especially when isolating a target, so look for opportunities to invade the enemy jungler and set them behind. At levels 6, 11, and 16, you’ll have the chance to evolve your abilities. Generally, your first evolve should be your Q for stronger dueling and wave-clear potential.
