Shaco vs Kha'Zix

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Shaco thrives on early game deception and fast clears to pressure Kha'Zix before he can evolve his kit.
Use invisibility and box setups to control river entrances and create unpredictable gank angles that deny Kha'Zix isolated targets.
Prioritize disrupting Kha'Zix's isolation damage by forcing grouped fights and controlling vision around objectives.

Jungle Plan

Invade Kha'Zix's jungle early when lanes can collapse to punish his medium invade resistance and limit his isolation picks.
Use invisibility and box traps to control dragon and Void Grubs entrances before objective starts to deny Kha'Zix easy picks.
Track Kha'Zix's pathing and be ready to counter-gank his early ganks, especially around fog and isolated lanes.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights especially around early Scuttle contests where Kha'Zix can leverage his isolation damage.
Be cautious during forced objective setups if nearby lanes lack priority to prevent collapsing on Shaco's traps.
Low-health clears or post-invade cooldown windows increase vulnerability to Kha'Zix's burst and reset potential.

Early game

Start with a box-assisted clear route that maximizes health and speed to hit level 3 before Kha'Zix.
Secure early Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated river fights.
Avoid predictable paths after establishing box control to maintain invade resistance and surprise potential.

Power spikes

Level 2 and 3 grant Shaco strong early gank and invade power to break lanes and steal camps before Kha'Zix evolves.
Kha'Zix's level 6 stealth and evolved abilities increase his pick threat; Shaco must rely on vision and grouped fights to reduce this.
Shaco's clone (R) and box (W) setups provide mid-game disruption that can offset Kha'Zix's scaling isolation damage.

Win conditions

Convert early clear speed and deceptive pathing into successful counter-jungling and camp steals to deny Kha'Zix scaling.
Control vision and box entrances around dragon and Rift Herald to force grouped fights that minimize Kha'Zix's isolation advantage.
Use invisibility and clone to create unpredictable ganks and skirmishes that snowball lanes and secure objectives before mid-game scaling.
