Talon vs Kha'Zix

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Talon should leverage early jungle pressure and high mobility to contest river vision and create pick opportunities before Kha'Zix scales.
Focus on controlling scuttle crabs and denying Kha'Zix isolated targets to reduce his dueling and objective threat.

Jungle Plan

Start with a three-camp clear to hit level 3 and then contest scuttle only if your lanes have priority to back you up.
Invade Kha'Zix's jungle when you spot him on the opposite side or after he uses (E) and (R) to reduce his escape options.
Use vision control around dragon and Herald to force Kha'Zix into grouped fights where his isolation damage is less effective.

Danger windows

Beware of Kha'Zix's level 6 (R) stealth window, especially near isolated jungle entrances and river fights.
Avoid isolated skirmishes in river or jungle entrances where Kha'Zix can leverage his isolation damage and resets.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority or vision control, as Kha'Zix excels at punishing isolated or unsupported plays.

Early game

Prioritize a fast first clear to reach level 3 quickly and contest the first scuttle crab when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid isolated 1v1 fights early unless you have vision and lane support to collapse on Kha'Zix.
Use (E) to path through terrain for safe counter-invades or to escape if Kha'Zix attempts early aggression.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) and (W) combo, enabling Talon to threaten early skirmishes and punish Kha'Zix's cooldowns.
Level 6 (R) grants burst and stealth, so use this window to secure picks or disengage from unfavorable fights.
First lethality item completion significantly increases Talon's damage, allowing more confident invades and objective pressure.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo into vision dominance around dragon and Rift Herald to limit Kha'Zix's isolation picks.
Use Talon's superior early dueling and mobility to invade and deny Kha'Zix camps, delaying his scaling.
Apply pressure through coordinated ganks and roams using (E) terrain mobility to snowball lanes before Kha'Zix reaches his evolved power spikes.
