I have only played a couple of games with him so far, but I seem to be fairly successful with him. Is there anything I should know (in terms of more in depth item builds)? So far I am getting item 1400 , item 3074 , item 3142 , item 3147 , and then either item 3071 or a item 3812 , finishing with boots that I deem needed. I am also maxing my Q before W, and W before E, of course putting points in my ult when I can. Upgrading my Q first, either my leap or ult second, and lastly getting whichever of the previous 2 I didn't get. Also, I REALLY want that Death Blossom Kha'Zix, that skin is so good. Lastely, what are your thoughts on Kha'Zix, both looks and gameplay wise?

  • Kha'zix is really strong right now, especially in high elo (I think he's OP but he only causes problems in higher elo).

  • Mecha is the best skin

  • Max Q>W>E and ult evolve Q>E (I think the third one is preference, I still like evolving W third)

  • Always go item 1400 item 3142 just because youmuus is really strong. After that a lot of people get one of the following:

item 3147 item 3074 item 3071 item 3156 item 3812

After having 3 damage items (Warriors, Youmuus, X) I would personally go for a item 3026 but I don't know how other people build him. Most people just go full damage but sometimes it's a little overkill. Just get item 3026 when you feel you have enough damage.

item 3036 is a good last item in some cases

item 3158 are good boots because 40% cdr Kha (which isn't too hard to get) is OP in my opinion. If you plan on getting item 3071 after youmuus then I wouldn't recommend getting them and get defensive boots/swifties instead

  • In teamfights don't try to go in at the beginning like a Zed or Talon trying to delete someone. It's best to go in when someone is isolated (which usually means 1 shot if they're squishy), OR if they're on low health. After you kill a target you need to either jump to safety or jump to the next target if you know you won't die.

  • A lot of Kha players choke lategame because people started grouping. Just... learn how to play him lategame if you want to win more.

Item choices i absolutely hate getting item 3074 on Kha because i feel like i'm just delaying more important items and spike far worse. And if you get item 3077 , dont upgrade it if it's not the last item slot left. It's just not worth it on Kha.

I mostly go item 1400 into item 3142, if the enemy team is packed with ap dmg i've bought item 3156 sometimes. The following items on Kha can be pretty much everything and it heavily depends on the situation. Enemy team has some ap dmg that may be dangerous for you? item 3156 You just wantmore reliable assasinations? item 3147 Enemy team packed with cc making it difficult for you to execute ganks properly or kill targets? item 3140 The teams are already grouped and the enemy team is focusing you super hard? item 3026 One enemy that can kill you almost instantly and you are the highest priority for this enemy to kill? item 3812 or even item 3053 can work on Kha. You need the dmg to kill tanks aswell because you have to basically solocarry your team damagewise? item 3033 / item 3071

I often end up with a build like item 1400 > item 1001 > item 3142 > item 3111/item 3009/item 3047 > item 3156 > item 3812 > item 3026

In general i'd like to say about items that almost everything that gives ad without crit is a good choice in some situations. I really like getting some bruiserlike items that help surviving like the ones listed above since i never felt that i lack any dmg.

Skills Always max Q>W>E, always evolve Q first, always evolve E second (i've never seen a situation where its not better to evolve E second) First clear: if you want to gank early go Q|W|E, if you want to fullclear fast and healthy, go Q|W|W|E and then continue to max Q (better sustain and aoe dmg while clearing if you put 2 points in W) For the last evolved ability it depends. Most of the time i end up evolving my R just because it gives me more defensive options in teamfights. If your team comp is poke reliant or you want to have an answer to enemy poke, evolving W might be better.

Playstyle Early game: You are strong in 1v1 situations, especially when you hit lvl6, your early ganks are pretty good and allow you to snowball if you get 1 or 2 kills before hitting minute 10, but as always i recommend only going for safe ganks since you're not that strong in a countergank situation (it's harder to get your damage off dealing with 2 opponents) and don't want to waste time. In a gank, never blow your E before you absolutely have to, wait for the enemy to burn his escape/flash and then follow up with E. Your early clear speed is good and becomes really good when hitting 6. Look for oppurtunities to counterjungle or catching the enemy jungler offguard when he is running around with half hp or sth. Champs you should definitely avoid early are shaco, lee, nidalee and elise (at least these are the ones coming to my mind right now; shaco and elise aren't easy to isolate, nida and lee can just straight up kill you in a 1v1 and all those 4 can chase you really good)

Mid game: I really like the midgame powerspike when you evolve your E ability because you instantly become a really strong teamfighter. In teamfights, take your time, only engage when you are sure you can kill someone. Watch out for enemy carries to be isolated and delete them. Even if you fall behind in the early game, Khazix is always a threat for squishies. If you fail your assasination try to buy time with your ultimate and reposition (mostly if you failed an assasination, the target won't be isolated anymore when your cds are up again). I've yet to see a teamfight where i never had a good chance to engage on one of the carries. Besides teamfighting, if you are not too behind, you can counterjungle a lot and try to catch enemies in their jungle/river/splitpushing

Late game: Pretty much the same as midgame, just be more careful while looking for 1v1s.

Well if you have just played him(not from my experience or anything) there this thing you might want to do that i find really cool on him. And that is the so called kha's double jump. Don't know if you could do it but it would be super if you did. If you ever up to the challenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-kKP1N5Bcw

I'm not downplaying you, Kha'Zix is an awesome champ, but I'm just saying a couple games doesn't make you a main. I guess...a "budding" main? Idfk, just spouting I guess. I've only played a few games of him myself but damn is he an awesome champ. He's like Eve if she made a deal with the olympics and got 10 pounds of void steroids pumped into her.

Death Blossom Khazix and Mecha are good skins. Guardian of the sands isn't the best imo.

The champ is a bit underpowered and needs a buff.

You should get boots earlier.

I evolve E first.

Kha is insanely busted imo, just whatever you do, NEVER EVER FIRST PICK KHA ZIX FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
