Kha'Zix vs Darius

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kha'Zix's high mobility and isolation damage to punish Darius when he is separated from teammates in river or jungle entrances.
Focus on controlling fog and vision around objectives to create pick opportunities before dragon or Rift Herald fights.
Prioritize snowballing through isolated skirmishes and avoid grouped fights where Darius's extended trades and passive stacks dominate.

Jungle Plan

Path toward camps and river areas where you can isolate Darius or his allies for burst damage and quick takedowns.
Contest first Scuttle only when your lanes have priority to avoid collapsing on you.
Use vision control to set up picks before dragon or Rift Herald, then convert kills into objective control or counter-jungling.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river or jungle fights where Darius can pull you with (E) and stack passive for lethal trades.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision as Darius's all-in and healing from (Q) can punish low-health clears.
Respect windows when Darius has (E) available and nearby lanes can collapse quickly, increasing counter-invade risk.

Early game

Start with a clear path that allows quick access to river Scuttle to contest only if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early fights unless you have vision and health advantage to isolate Darius or his jungle camps.
Use evolved (R) stealth after level 6 to approach isolated targets around objectives or jungle entrances safely.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) stealth and evolution choices; use fog to find isolated targets and force picks before objectives.
First damage item significantly boosts your burst; invade and punish Darius's camps when lanes cannot collapse.
Respect Darius's level 6 (R) execute window; avoid extended trades near execute threshold and disengage before he stacks five passive bleeds.

Win conditions

Use evolved (Q) and (R) to burst isolated Darius or his allies, denying his scaling through kills and objective control.
Maintain river and objective vision to create picks and force Darius into unfavorable fights.
Convert successful picks into dragon and Rift Herald control, snowballing your lead and denying Darius extended trades and side-lane pressure.
