Gragas vs Kha'Zix

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Gragas should leverage his medium early pressure and strong objective control to contest river and dragon setups against Kha'Zix.
Prioritize controlling jungle entrances and flanks to prevent Kha'Zix from isolating targets and snowballing through picks.
This is a control vs snowball matchup where Gragas must use his utility and disruption to deny Kha'Zix's isolation damage and scaling.

Jungle Plan

Path to lanes where (E) can interrupt Kha'Zix's engage or escape, then use (R) to separate him from objectives or team.
Contest dragon and Rift Herald vision aggressively to deny Kha'Zix isolated picks and smite control.
Use your medium clear speed to tempo reset and counter-invade when Kha'Zix commits to risky isolated camps.

Danger windows

Beware isolated river or jungle entrances where Kha'Zix can leverage (R) stealth and evolved (E) resets to burst you down.
Avoid fighting when your (E) is on cooldown, as you lose both engage and escape tools against his high burst.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority or vision, as Kha'Zix excels at punishing isolated smite fights.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to maintain health and hold angles near lanes where (E) can force flashes or kills.
Fight for first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority and can collapse on Kha'Zix if he contests.
Avoid extended fights early if Kha'Zix is isolated and can reset (E) after takedowns; instead, path to counter-gank and protect objectives.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to isolate Kha'Zix or disengage his (R) stealth engages; force him to respect your displacement.
After first AP or tank item, trade short bursts confidently using (W) and passive sustain to outlast Kha'Zix's burst.
Respect Kha'Zix's level 6 stealth and evolved abilities that increase his burst and mobility; avoid isolated fights without vision.

Win conditions

Convert jungle tempo into objective control by using (R) to disrupt Kha'Zix's smite fights and isolate him from his team.
Track Kha'Zix's pathing and counter-gank his early river pressure to deny his snowball and force him into grouped fights.
Use your gank threat with (E) and (R) to force lanes to hold priority, enabling safer objective setups and scaling denial.
