Vi vs Kha'Zix

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Vi's high early game pressure and strong lockdown make early river fights and ganks key to controlling Kha'Zix's isolated pick threat.
Prioritize vision and pathing that denies Kha'Zix isolated targets to reduce his assassination potential and force grouped fights.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize invading Kha'Zix's jungle when lanes have priority and Kha'Zix is visible on opposite side or after he uses (R) stealth.
Use efficient clears to maintain tempo and look for river or jungle fights where you can lock down isolated targets with (R).
Contest dragon and Rift Herald with vision control and lane priority to leverage Vi's strong objective damage and smite denial.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights where Kha'Zix can use (R) stealth and (E) resets to burst and escape.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or objectives when lanes lack priority, as Kha'Zix can collapse and punish isolated Vi.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights without vision support increase risk of Kha'Zix counter-invades or picks.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear if early gank opportunities exist to maintain tempo and pressure lanes where (Q) ganks can force flashes.
Fight for first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid isolated 1v1s where Kha'Zix excels.
Avoid extended early fights without lane support as missing (Q) or lane collapse can leave Vi vulnerable to counter-invades.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks Vi's (R) lockdown, enabling guaranteed picks on isolated Kha'Zix or his targets before objectives.
Vi's early clear speed and dueling power peak before Kha'Zix's first damage item, allowing aggressive invades and counter-jungling.
Kha'Zix's level 6 (R) stealth spike demands Vi maintain vision and avoid isolated fights without lane assistance.

Win conditions

Use early ganks empowered by (Q) and (R) lockdown to force enemy flashes and create picks that secure dragon and Rift Herald.
Deny Kha'Zix isolated jungle camps through vision and timely invades to delay his scaling and reduce his pick threat.
Convert lockdown picks into objective control by coordinating with lanes to maintain river vision and pressure around key objectives.
