Nocturne vs Kha'Zix

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clearing to hit level 6 on schedule and unlock strong map pressure with (R).
Use (R) to punish overextended or low-vision lanes and convert picks into objective advantages like dragon and Rift Herald.

Jungle Plan

Path camps toward level 6 focusing on lanes that can be isolated for (R) ganks and objective setups.
Contest river control and Scuttle when allied lanes can move first to secure vision and deny Kha'Zix isolation picks.
Use vision to force Kha'Zix into grouped fights where his isolation damage is minimized and counter-jungle when he shows on the map.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river or jungle fights where Kha'Zix can leverage (R) stealth and (Q) isolation damage.
Beware of early invades when Kha'Zix has vision advantage and lanes cannot collapse to support.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision control, as Kha'Zix can pick off isolated targets and force smite fights.

Early game

Start with a full clear path to reach level 6 without losing objective control or tempo.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid multi-lane collapse.
Avoid early blind invades; track Kha'Zix's pathing to counter-gank his first pressure attempts.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for global pressure; use it to create picks before starting objectives.
After first damage item, increase invade and duel threat by punishing Kha'Zix's isolated camps when lanes cannot collapse.
Respect Kha'Zix's level 6 (R) stealth and evolved abilities by grouping or avoiding isolated river fights.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 ultimate picks into dragon and Rift Herald control to snowball map pressure.
Deny Kha'Zix isolated camps and force him into grouped fights to reduce his dueling and pick threat.
Use (W) spell shield and (E) fear to win duels and secure objectives, leveraging your stronger sustained damage and objective control.
