Kha'Zix vs Hecarim

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize isolation picks and objective-side skirmishes to leverage Kha'Zix's assassin strengths against grouped Hecarim.
Manage vision tightly around river and jungle entrances to avoid Hecarim's high-mobility engages and counter-ganks.
This is a snowball vs mid-scaling duel where Kha'Zix must create picks before Hecarim's teamfight threat grows.

Jungle Plan

Path through camps nearest to lanes likely to overextend, enabling isolated gank or invade opportunities.
Contest first Scuttle only when your lanes can move first and isolate Hecarim without enemy collapse.
Use vision denial around dragon and Rift Herald to set up picks and force Hecarim into grouped fights where you lose dueling power.

Danger windows

Beware of Hecarim's early gank attempts when lanes are pushed and you lack vision or lane priority.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Hecarim's speed and fear (E) plus ultimate (R) can quickly turn fights.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Hecarim can reach carries from fog with his ultimate and force smite fights.

Early game

Start with a full clear path that leads to early river Scuttle control when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid direct early invades unless you have vision and lane priority to isolate Hecarim or collapse on him.
Use level 3 power to contest Scuttle only if you can isolate Hecarim or force him out without risking collapse.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks stealth and evolution choices; use fog to find isolated Hecarim or his camps for lethal burst.
First damage item significantly increases your isolation damage; punish Hecarim's solo clears or overextended lanes aggressively.
Respect Hecarim's mid-game item spikes that enhance his engage and sustained damage; avoid extended fights without isolation.

Win conditions

Use evolved (Q) and (R) stealth to isolate and burst Hecarim or his camps before he can group with teammates.
Control vision around dragon and Rift Herald to create picks and deny Hecarim's engage angles.
Snowball off early kills and counter-jungle when Hecarim is visible on the opposite side or after successful ganks to deny his tempo.
