Master Yi vs Kha'Zix

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Manage jungle tempo by focusing on full clears and safe counter-jungling to outscale Kha'Zix's early skirmishes.
Avoid early river fights without lane priority since Kha'Zix thrives on isolated burst and fog of war picks.
Prioritize scaling through efficient farming and objective control to leverage Master Yi's late-game carry potential.

Jungle Plan

Full clear and track Kha'Zix's pathing to choose safe counter-jungle camps and avoid isolated fights.
Contest Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid getting collapsed on.
Use superior clear speed and (R) mobility to countergank lanes with priority and set up for Dragons and Rift Herald.

Danger windows

Early river fights and Scuttle contests are risky due to Kha'Zix's isolation burst and stealth entry.
Avoid low-health clears near enemy jungle entrances where Kha'Zix can force smite fights or counter-invade.
Watch for enemy laners with priority enabling Kha'Zix to collapse for early ganks or counterganks.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit level 3 quickly and secure scuttle vision before Kha'Zix arrives.
Avoid early river contests unless your lanes have priority and vision to prevent getting burst down.
Use camp sequencing to maintain health and be ready to counter-invade or assist lanes with ganks.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to chase resets and clean up fights after enemy crowd control is committed.
Respect Kha'Zix's level 6 spike; avoid isolated skirmishes where his burst and stealth dominate.
After first item, leverage increased damage and objective speed to punish messy skirmishes and invade safely.

Win conditions

Convert jungle tempo into securing Dragons and Rift Herald by controlling vision and denying Kha'Zix's isolated picks.
Use superior clear speed and (R) mobility to countergank and snowball lanes with priority.
Invade safely when lanes have priority and collapse with your team to secure objectives and kills, denying Kha'Zix scaling.
