Prioritize isolation picks and fog control to capitalize on Kha'Zix's assassin strengths against Kindred's ranged skirmishing.
Avoid grouped fights early as Kindred's ranged DPS and resets reduce your duel impact; focus on clean isolation and objective-side picks.
Jungle Plan
Path toward camps and jungle entrances where you can isolate Kindred or his nearby laners for quick picks.
Contest first Scuttle only when your lanes can move first to avoid collapse; otherwise, focus on clean clears and vision control.
Use vision denial and fog to set up picks around dragon and Rift Herald before committing to objectives or fights.
Danger windows
Avoid isolated river fights early where Kindred's ranged kiting and resets can punish you.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision as Kindred's (R) can reset fights and turn skirmishes.
Do not fight when low health or forced into smite contests without lane priority, as Kindred can kite and out-sustain you.
Early game
Start with a clear that leads to early river Scuttle control only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky fights.
Avoid early invades unless you have vision and lane priority to punish Kindred's isolated camps.
Use level 6 stealth and evolved abilities to look for isolated jungle or river targets before dragon or Herald setups.
Power spikes
At level 6, unlock (R) stealth and evolution choices to increase pick potential; use fog for isolated targets before objectives.
After first damage item, pressure isolated camps and invade with vision support to punish Kindred's farming.
Respect Kindred's power spike when he secures marks and items, increasing his ranged DPS and objective control.
Win conditions
Convert isolation picks and fog control into dragon and Rift Herald control by denying Kindred vision and access.
Use evolved (E) resets and (R) stealth to counter-jungle and punish isolated camps when lanes cannot collapse.
Snowball skirmishes by forcing Kindred into grouped fights where your isolation damage is less effective, then pick off separated targets to scale your assassin threat.
Tip: For Kha'Zix vs Kindred, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Jungle lane check.
