Has anyone had success jungling with Kha'zix yet?

(Updated with results of new build below)

Honestly asking; i played a few games last night (1 as Kha'zix), and i had a horrible time. I went with the recommended items of Talisman and Flask (Mistake #1), started Krugs w/ leash and went to red, where i was executed (extremely embarrassing, i play a lot of khazix). The whole game i had to back after 2 camps until i got hunter's flask, by which time i was too far behind to do much.

If anyone else has had success, please let me know what you did.

My plans for next games:

  1. start machete + 3 pots (why does Riot recommend Talisman for Kha'zix!?!?)
  2. go Q->W->W->E, maxing W, because pre-6 ganks are basically impossible now and i need the sustain
  3. Try to build item 1400 -> item 3142 ->item 3812 . Youmous def seems strong right now; the Tiamat nerfs mean that it doesn't seem worth rushing item 3074 anymore.

This is just my prospective plan; i'll update tonight when i'm able to test this out.

UPDATE: Just had a pretty successful game with him, i'll explain how i did:

  1. 0/18/12 masteries, with Thunderlords Decree, and AD/Armor/CDR rune page (my standard for Khazix)

  2. IGNORE THE RECOMMENDED ITEMS and started Machete + 3 pots

  3. Gromp w/ leash + smite --> Wolves --> scuttle --> blue --> fail gank (they spotted me, i got out, recalled) (yes i actually had enough health to gank!)

  4. Buy poachers knife, a pink, and some pots, then clear red side. At this point i am sustaining well enough to look for ganks.

  5. After poachers knife, rush item 3142 , a very efficient item. Didn't upgrade poachers until afterwards, not sure if ideal to skip. got Warriors as 2nd item.

  6. Tried to go Titanic after that, but game got out of hand late and couldn't get the gold. Not sure tiamat items are worth picking up until late, anymore; will experiment with other items later.

  7. Results: 9/4/7, did fairly well, but bot lane got demolished and Garen started getting fed. Definitely a promising build path for Kha'zix though

If they have a mage sup or a generally squishy top laner go 18 on utility with thunderlord. It gives you flat armor pen which is great on Kha and is granted to rek their faces. Also the slight buff to ravenous which you could swap for a free titanic is real great since i really like tank-zix, which you build cleaver and armor which is real great. (I love when you bust through a veigar ult with banshees and slice his face off)

Also, well i managed to get my 3rd camp clear fairly well and had like 100% health when i hunted the scuttle. After that I bought the other part of my jungle item and just sustained infinitely. idk whats your problem...

since you don't give your clear path, starting items, runes, or masteries, i'll just assume your godlike skill comes from the Korean hands you've grafted onto your arms.

you max Q dude, and evolve Q then E and W or R. Dont spam your skill upgrade button when you reach 6, there is a meme that a khazix player spams his skillupgrade and evolves his ult, which is REALLY BAD. Just relax and evolve Q 1st right?

Q and E are your first evolves, every time. Evolve E first if you have a real hard time getting ganks off, else evolve Q first.

Before preseason i would max Q, but there've been jungle states where i maxed W (without evolving it). Hopefully i won't have to, it's not ideal

As far as jungle paths go my go to path right now is krugs(smite) -> RazerBeaks -> 5 second wait in river -> scuttle -> red(smite if needed)

Merxamers1 votes

so red last, huh? may be worth a try

Thats what I do with Yi, and I am always above 50% health and most of the time without having to smite red. also make sure you get the 150g flask thing with your machete.
