Jax vs Kha'Zix

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlled jungle tempo and full clears to reach level 4 before contesting river or invading Kha'Zix's jungle.
Focus on side river vision and Scuttle control to limit Kha'Zix's isolation angles and maintain safe objective access.

Jungle Plan

Path for a full clear, then pressure river and enemy jungle entrances when lanes have priority to set up counter-invades.
Use vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to deny Kha'Zix isolated approaches and force grouped fights.
Track Kha'Zix's pathing to anticipate his first gank or invade and prepare counter-ganks with allies.

Danger windows

Avoid early jungle invades before level 4 without lane support as Kha'Zix can punish isolated fights.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights around dragon or Herald without vision and lane priority.
Post-level 6 fights in fog require careful positioning and team coordination to mitigate Kha'Zix's stealth and isolation burst.

Early game

Start with a healthy full clear to hit level 4 and avoid early skirmishes without lane priority or vision.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to enable counter-ganks and reduce isolation risk.
Avoid isolated fights in river or jungle entrances before level 4 to prevent Kha'Zix punishing overextensions.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for durability and sustained damage; use this to take extended fights when (E) is available and enemy cooldowns are down.
Two-item spike greatly enhances dueling and splitpush threat; force side-lane pressure to capitalize on this power.
Respect Kha'Zix's level 6 stealth and evolved abilities by maintaining tighter vision and grouping to avoid isolation.

Win conditions

Convert jungle tempo and vision dominance into safe dragon and Rift Herald control to build objective leads.
Use superior dueling power after item spikes to pressure side lanes, forcing Kha'Zix to respond and enabling cross-map plays.
Deny Kha'Zix isolated targets by maintaining grouped vision setups and punishing his overextensions with counter-ganks and objective steals.
