Wild Rift Kha’Zix guide: Best runes, items, tips, and more

The 2.2b patch has arrived in League of Legends: Wild Rift bringing with it the usual batch of buffs, nerfs, and new cosmetics.

Another addition to the game was the Masters of the Hunt event, which tasks players with picking a side in a battle between Kha'Zix and Regnar, at the end of the event players will, depending on what side they've chosen to represent, be able to earn the champion for free.

Both junglers are powerful champions in the right hands, and if you are intent on mastering them then you have come to the right place, as we have put together guides for both; exploring their skills, the best runes to use, and items to buy.

This guide is for Kha'Zix, if you picked team Rengar then head on over to that guide.

Kha’Zix’s active and passive abilities

With his passive, Unseen Threat, the enemies nearby Kha’Zix that are isolated will be marked. Thanks to this passive, his next basic attack against an enemy champion deals bonus magic damage and slows them for a few seconds.

Let's move on to his active skills:

• Taste Their Fear: Deals physical damage to the target, dealing increasing damage on isolated targets. If evolved, it will return a portion of its cooldown if used against isolated targets. Kha'Zix also gains extra range on his basic attacks and Taste Their Fear.
• Void Spike: Kha'Zix fires exploding spikes that deal physical damage to enemies hit. Kha'Zix is healed if he is also within the explosion radius. If evolved, Void Spike will fire three spikes in a cone, slow enemies hit, and reveal enemy champions hit for 2 seconds. Isolated targets are slowed for extra time.
• Leap: Kha'Zix leaps to an area, dealing physical damage upon landing. If evolved, Leap's range increases by 200 and the cooldown resets on any champion kill or assist.
• Ultimate - Void Assault: Passively each skill rank allows Kha'Zix to evolve one of his abilities, giving it a unique additional effect. When activated, Kha'Zix becomes Invisible, triggering Unseen Threat and increasing Movement Speed. If evolved, Void Assault gains increased Invisibility duration, and an additional use.

Runes and spells recommended for Kha’Zix

• Electrocute: Triggers on successful skill combos and trades, dealing bonus damage to affected enemies and increasing her burst damage.
• Weakness: Increases your team's damage to opponents slowed or with crowd control effects.
• Spirit Walker: Grants additional health and slow resistance.
• Pathfinder: Grants bonus movement speed when walking through the jungle, bushes, or the river.

Being exclusively played as a jungle, his summoner spells options are more than obvious:

• Flash: Allows you to have more offensive options when entering combat, in addition to serving as an escape tool.
• Smite: The Jungler's default spell. You can use its blue variation to slow down enemies and ensure kills, or its red variation in the case of going against jungles with good offence.

The best items for Kha’Zix

Kha’Zix’s comp will be focused on maximizing his Attack Damage burst to power up his abilities in a humongous way, making him a stealth assassin everyone has to be aware of.

• Youmuu's Ghostblade: Grants bonus attack damage, ability haste, and armour penetration. Its passive allows you to deal additional magic damage with each attack.
• Gluttonous Greaves: Grants omnivampirism, giving you a better chance of surviving in fights. We recommend using it with Mercury charm for crowd control.
• Duskblade of Draktharr: Grants bonus attack damage, cooldown reduction, and armour penetration. Also, if you attack after hiding from the enemy, your attacks will deal more damage and slow them down.
• Death’s Dance: Converts a percentage of the damage taken into delayed damage, giving you more room to be in the fight along with his physical omnivampirism.
• Guardian Angel: Its revive effect allows you to fully attack squarely, without risking giving away a kill along the way.

As for the last item, you can either choose the Black Cleaver for enemies focused on armour, or the Maw of Malmortius to face opponents focused on ability power.

Tips for Kha’Zix’s playstyle

When using Kha'Zix in the jungle, use Kha'Zix's isolation passive to isolated targets just like champions, so for camp cleanings we recommend focusing on the weakest targets to make your route in the most optimal way.

Heading into your early and mid-game ambushes, Kha'Zix can easily jungle from the surrounding brushes to the lanes with the help of his Leap, putting you in range to best utilize his Unseen Threat bonus.

In case you find an unsuspecting enemy pushing the lane or even prowling through the jungle with no way to defend, feel free to besiege them using your Taste Their Fear to start a great offensive against anyone.

Whether you're close to multiple enemies, or just want to finish off or slow down an opponent, use your Void Spike to give yourself a bigger window of attack by using it in combination with Taste Their Fear.

For your Ultimate, this ability allows you to have a wide range of options to circle around the enemy so you can make the right choice and go for those who have no way to save themselves.

Finally, it is necessary to speak of his evolutionary nature. We recommend focusing the metamorphosis of his abilities on Taste Their Fear and Void Spike firsthand, to have better tools that allow you to go all out against opponents. The last point of evolution can be used in his Leap if you want to enjoy a higher range, or in his Ultimate if you like to have a higher stealth factor.
