Kha'Zix vs Ivern

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize isolating Ivern or his jungle camps to maximize your damage and objective control.
Manage vision around river and jungle entrances to create pick opportunities before objectives.
This is a snowball vs control matchup; use your early dueling and pick potential to deny Ivern scaling and objective setups.

Jungle Plan

Use fog and evolved (Q) isolation damage to invade and punish Ivern's marked camps when lanes can't collapse.
Track Ivern's unusual pathing and be ready to counter-gank when he pressures lanes with shield and root setups.
Prioritize river control and vision denial before dragon and Rift Herald to create isolated picks and objective advantages.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights when Ivern's (Q) root and (R) knockup are available with ally follow-up.
Be cautious contesting objectives if nearby lanes lack priority and Ivern can collapse with shields and Daisy.
Watch for low-health clears where Ivern can force smite fights or counter-invades with team support.

Early game

Start with a clear path that enables early level 3 with health advantage for potential isolated skirmishes.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid collapsing on you.
Avoid fighting grouped Ivern with his team nearby; focus on isolated camps or lanes for safe invades.

Power spikes

At level 6, unlock (R) stealth to reposition for picks and punish Ivern's low mobility and grouped setups.
After first damage item, use evolved (Q) to burst isolated targets and force Ivern to play more cautiously.
Respect Ivern's (Q) root and (R) knockup when he has allies nearby; avoid isolated fights during these cooldowns.

Win conditions

Convert isolated kills and vision control into dragon and Rift Herald setups before Ivern's team can group.
Use evolved (E) resets and (R) stealth to cross-map and punish Ivern's slow jungle mobility and camp timings.
Deny Ivern free farm by invading marked camps and forcing him into unfavorable fights to snowball your lead.
