Everything you need to know about Kha'Zix is included in this guide. I've drawn on my 10 years of experience with the champ to give you the most information possible in a concise format. Feel free to ask questions in the comments and I'll do my best to answer. Hope you enjoy and maybe learn something, spent about 3 months working on this :)
I’ve been playing kha for years, but this really helped boost my winrate, understanding the situations for runes and item combos. You’re the best Tinjus!
This was super awesome man! So great to hear all your thoughts in one place. Would you ever consider making an intermediate or more strategic guide where you go over decision making or break down specific spell usages in fights?
I think the most important thing to emphasize is that there are very few "hard rules" on Kha'Zix - what you have for runes, items, play style, jungle path, and more will all change how you play and are all better and worse in different situations, but you can really run almost anything in almost any situation as long as you know how to do it well. If that's too open-ended for any new players, just run with the recommended stuff and slowly branch out and find what you like; most mains have certain setups and styles that they swear by, and that's the beauty of this champion. Consume and adapt.
Hands down, this might be the best structured and paced guide for any champion i’ve seen. I don’t even play Khazix, but for some reason, now I feel i can lol. Great job my man.
those enemy pov cuts are pristine, so satisfying to watch... and the guide as a hole is just so well constructed. Thanks a lot man, that's some fine work right there
Great video Tinjus! I would add the "The hunt is on!" mechanic to it, which triggers when Kha'Zix and Rengar are on opposing teams, Kha'Zix has evolved thrice and Rengar has his Necklace completed while everyone in the game is alive. First one to score a takedown on the other is "the ultimate hunter" and get's either his 4th evolution or an additional 11% bonus ad
Hi Tinjus, First off, great video and very informative. This will definitely help me :). Keep up the good work. The only thing i felt like needed was a reference of how fast a clear should be close to. In the video you show a clear of 3:22 leashless, which i will be aiming for in practice tool. For a fullclear red start the fastest i found is 3:27. And again great video and cannot wait for more good content from you.
The demonstration of the clear in this vid is what you should be aiming for, with seconds shaved off depending on how good your leash is. For red side its pretty much what you said for speed, 3:27ish
Thought I would leave a comment here, i have struggled with Kha for awhile, never really understood his gameplay but you really helped me out and now i cant put the champion down. So much fun! thank you!!! keep posting more kha content broski!
one hell of a guide man! thank you for that, it helped me lots with understanding when to buy what, what NOT TO BUY :), and that HoB K6 is a thing which honestly I didnt expect I would like this much lol I'm definitely staying around to see more of your videos, thanks x
When i go prowlers/eclipse/goredrinker, ingenious hunter is a staple for me, especially for prowlers, since it turns it from a 90s cd to 60s cd. I feel like ingenious hunter is such an underrated rune, and nobody abuses it as much as it should.
i've been carrying alot of games in master because of the single tip you gave me. farm, exp, tax and dont die. i don't get tilted with bad early games of my team cause of that line you said "i should be the one carrying" thanks mate.
Now THIS is what I call a guide!! Not just one of 100 games where someone is fed and shows it. Lemme know if someone knows a proper Rek'Sai guide :3 Thank u for this vid
Im searching for a Kha zix guide for so long because I love this champion! And now I found your guide and it's incredible, you deserve my follow, thanks!
Hey man. I started playing league October 2020 and the first champ I picked up was kha’zix only thx to your videos. I stared watching you right when I started playing league. I main khazix to this day and I got from B3 to G3 again thx to your videos… this video was insanely detailed and helpful even though you mentioned lot of these things in your other videos already. I hope you will keep posting many khazix videos that will help me grind to plat :) Also sorry for my English … not a native speaker as you can see xD
Been maining kha since s5, only had 3 games out of thousands where i did perfect evolution which evolve all 4 ability, but that's the most satisfied moment when playing kha.
One of the things I like to do as Khazix is sort of predict where an enemy is going to want to go, like say if I know that there are like 3 people top and 1 mid and then I see the bot lane heading up I would try to predict where they will be and if I am in the area be in a bush somewhere to ambush them or if they are strong I stay the hell away from that area. Basically for me I always try to have awareness of where the enemy could be for me to set up an ambush on them without anyone interfering. Granted you can do the same with all champions but for Khazix it is especially important for picks. TLDR: I focus on map awareness to stack the deck in my favor.
I watch a lot of your video and try to play Khazix jg yesterday (fyi Im mainly play in Aram and not the normal mode) first time jg with Khazix, end with 16-8 and a win. it was such fun champion to play, i mess up the jg clear at first as I dont remember where to go or where to start (i didnt watch this video before playing) , but once you get it rolling then it so entertain play, now i watch this and hopefully it can help me get better as I start to play more normal mode and i got jg role a lot XD
I been maining kha zix for a while now n I barley started playing this game In January,big fan of ur content , but my biggest problem is fighting against tanks in the mid-late game but I might try the conquer runes for that match up now,thank for the good content and never stop with the collector joke that shit is funny lol
ngl watching and enjoying this video actually makes me wanna play more kha zix not only now but also in the future and stop with voli since i am not having alot of sucess i learned alot today and i hope i become as good as you :D
Yeah ok cool so this was a really good guide, def enjoyed it. A lot of useful info combined with some nice visuals/editing (especially liked the charts/summaries in the items section and intro bit). A lot more detail/clarity than a lot of the other guides out there that I've seen. 12/10 good stuff gj gj gj Tinjus :D (also are you gonna update the mobafire guide or no)
I don't kha enough to bring him into ranked, I feel on him like I do fiddle, always trying to build a pile of water during the game. No matter what I do, I can't get, sustain, and snowball leads. But, I play him all the time in norm and I love the champ, thank you for the guide. I watch all your vids man.
After this video i played a game got my second S for Level 6 Mastery, won the game with 0 deaths seven kills and 10 assists, 40 farm lead, got all objectives and overall played very well. Thanks for the video i appreciate it. I mean i know how to jungle, but this video was like the last puzzle to maximize my knowledge and knowing the champions limitations. But i prefer Prowlers Claw and R evolve first for the Combos in fights. :)
W evo at 6 is actually quite solid, but the other evolutions are simply better for getting leads as Kha'Zix early game. You will almost never ever need W evo that early into the game.
nice one tinjus! production qual is really good on this. just a quick question as i was a bit confused - I didn't see a section on missing your W's? jokes aside, you made me main kha. now to get out of S4 lol
Very nice and helpful guide. Especially that part about not building collector. That tip alone had me go from Bronze 1 to Diamond 1, like seriously I played one game without building collector and I gained 1600lp. could we potentially get more videos focused on your ranked climb progress? potentially a series?
Great vid, Tinjus. However, you forgot to mention getting a hailblade, lol. I was trying to follow along in your video, and I was really confused why I kept dying quicker and being unable to make my first clear. I found out when I looked at the jungle clear portion of the video and looked at your items and saw that I was missing a jungle item. Anyway, very useful video!
“Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? Do you know how many I kill in a game? I mean, even if I told you you wouldn’t believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly stopped farming in the jungle? A team that is destroying the other goes belly up. Loses! They will cease to win without me. No, you clearly don’t know what jungler you are talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not being selfish top-laner. I am the carry! You see some guy getting carried and you think that of me? No. I am the one who ganks!” -Kha’zix players
I can't believe I didn't touch on this lmao oops, red smite against bruisers and fighters or bruiser builds, blue smite for assassinating squishies or assassin builds
Hey Tinjus, First of all, great guide. I've been playing Kha'Zix for almost 2 years now and have been watching your videos alongside it. Your videos is what made me a better league player and thank you for that. I had one question. For the skill order, I always max q, and than put 2 extra points into W. After I max my E. Would you consider this an important tip? Keep up the amazing work man, love it as always.
This skill order is what I do, its solid but generally recommend just straight maxing W 2nd in most cases unless you like short E cd. Thanks for the kind words!
My man not pressing subscribe after watching the vid feels like a crime. I have just decided to play kha'zix and this guide is the thing that I needed, sincere gratitude. Just one question though is it necessary to one trick Kha'zix or can I play it with one other champ that I play (Ekko). Ty in advance
Not kz related, but is collector trash for every champion? I feel like it is, even in champs that builds cc. Do you see some case that isnt? Great video btw! Very didactic.
Hi Tinjus, thank you for this video that wraps up ALL we Kha'Zix players need! I'd have a question: what are your thoughts on Sterak's Gage for bruiser Kha'Zix as a 4th or 5th item? Same question about Ravenous Hydra, which could help survive longer too. Thank you!
I love this guide its well pieced together and very understandable even for not-so experienced players! I do have a question, is manamune ever worth it to buy since the durability patch? I would assume its not awful because Q has rather high scaling, i would like to hear your opinion!
Glad you enjoyed the guide, manamune is a very strong niche scaling option. If you get the tear early on you can be doing very respectable damage later on in the game.
thank you so much i've been trying to learn how to be a good khazix!! i'm still not familiar with how to build him so this was very nice to watch :D i love your content!

OK now that you made this video im gonna go get challenger on kha now thanks!! :D
whats the difference from qw vs wq
I’ve been playing kha for years, but this really helped boost my winrate, understanding the situations for runes and item combos. You’re the best Tinjus!

This was super awesome man! So great to hear all your thoughts in one place. Would you ever consider making an intermediate or more strategic guide where you go over decision making or break down specific spell usages in fights?
I try to explain these concepts as I play my games on stream, but I may still make a walkthrough guide to touch on in game decisions etc
@@Tinjus you truly explain everything in gameplays and streams, keep em coming!
I think the most important thing to emphasize is that there are very few "hard rules" on Kha'Zix - what you have for runes, items, play style, jungle path, and more will all change how you play and are all better and worse in different situations, but you can really run almost anything in almost any situation as long as you know how to do it well.

thank you!
Man the little montage in the beginning is insane
無見你上載一排，以為你失咗蹤。點知係呢度見到你。
those enemy pov cuts are pristine, so satisfying to watch... and the guide as a hole is just so well constructed. Thanks a lot man, that's some fine work right there
Great video Tinjus! I would add the "The hunt is on!" mechanic to it, which triggers when Kha'Zix and Rengar are on opposing teams, Kha'Zix has evolved thrice and Rengar has his Necklace completed while everyone in the game is alive. First one to score a takedown on the other is "the ultimate hunter" and get's either his 4th evolution or an additional 11% bonus ad
Rarely happens so didnt bother including it, but its fun when it does
This is better than christmas
Hi Tinjus,
First off, great video and very informative. This will definitely help me :). Keep up the good work.
The only thing i felt like needed was a reference of how fast a clear should be close to. In the video you show a clear of 3:22 leashless, which i will be aiming for in practice tool.
For a fullclear red start the fastest i found is 3:27.
And again great video and cannot wait for more good content from you.
The demonstration of the clear in this vid is what you should be aiming for, with seconds shaved off depending on how good your leash is. For red side its pretty much what you said for speed, 3:27ish
Thought I would leave a comment here, i have struggled with Kha for awhile, never really understood his gameplay but you really helped me out and now i cant put the champion down. So much fun! thank you!!! keep posting more kha content broski!
Glad I helped, good luck with the bug!
Damn I just know that buying "The Collector" is garbage, I buy that sh*t all the time :O. Thanks Tinjus! You're the best Kha'Zix teacher I watched!
one hell of a guide man!
thank you for that, it helped me lots with understanding when to buy what, what NOT TO BUY :), and that HoB K6 is a thing which honestly I didnt expect I would like this much lol
I'm definitely staying around to see more of your videos, thanks x
Glad you enjoyed!
Jumped into League Season 11. Your videos and god like montages inspired me to play Kha'Zix. First champ I got to M7. Keep up the great content.
Ayooo. Tinjus pumping some good content,. 1vid every 3day. Keep it up king
When i go prowlers/eclipse/goredrinker, ingenious hunter is a staple for me, especially for prowlers, since it turns it from a 90s cd to 60s cd. I feel like ingenious hunter is such an underrated rune, and nobody abuses it as much as it should.
This is true, ingenious is definitely a very slept on choice, and I should have included it here as a viable alternative.
can confirm
But man treasure hunter gold is crazy for carrying
@@dugglebay3483 550 gold is legit dogshit
@@dugglebay3483 it’s only like 400 gold
Thank you very much!I started playing kazix after your videos and I am pleased, because there are not so many good guides for him.
It's finally here, well done! Covers everything you could possibly need to know, what a godsend from Tinjy 🔥
i've been carrying alot of games in master because of the single tip you gave me. farm, exp, tax and dont die. i don't get tilted with bad early games of my team cause of that line you said "i should be the one carrying" thanks mate.

''If you are behind stick to Q, if you are equal, stick to Q, if you are fed evolve whatever you want'' - Tinjus
This is a fairly outdated concept in the current meta from my experience x)
"if you are fed evolve whatever you want"
Like everybody isn't going to evolve Q
Been maining kha since s5, only had 3 games out of thousands where i did perfect evolution which evolve all 4 ability, but that's the most satisfied moment when playing kha.
amazing work tinjus !!
I was waiting the last second collector burn XD.
thnx for the new guide Tinjus
such a cool good guide, so many info, thanks man!
3:58 lmao
Tinjus Guide: "for skill order, it's simple...max q, w, then e..."
Tinjus Reality: max q, put 3 points in w, and max e

Yo wtf I just started playing league like two days ago, found this guy interesting, and there's a guide posted TODAY? I've lucked tf out.

when would a evolve W be good at lvl 6? shouldn't I evolve it if the enemy team wont split up more than 5 feet of each other?
