Track jungler and steal his isolated camps.

Mid

set deep vision and play around objectives.

Late

Look for the carry without Stasis Enchant/Flash, not the frontliner.

Power Spikes

How to Play

  • Don't show your face until you have an angle of isolation: the threat comes from the fog + tempo of your R charges.
  • Play "in-out" fights: burst a target, reset, reposition and start again.

Playing Against

  • Avoid spreading out: stay together to reduce Q's isolation.
  • Take Oracle/Stasis Enchant on the carries: reveal their angles and cut its resets.

Mechanical Tips

  • Isolation (Void Hunter passive): Taste Their Fear (Q) deals 40–60% more damage if the target has no allies within 500 units. Always wait until the target is isolated from both minions AND enemy allied champions.
  • Unseen Threat (passive): Next auto-attack is empowered (slow + magic damage) after becoming ‘unseen’ (stealth from R or a bush). Re-triggers when leaving and re-entering a bush.
  • Void Assault (R): 2 short stealth charges (~1s). Use the first for the engage (Unseen Threat), the second for the escape.
  • Leap (E): Resets on a kill — in teamfights, chain Leaps after each kill.
  • Upgrades: Upgraded Q = increased range (excellent for isolating targets); Upgraded W = 3 spikes at once; Upgraded E = increased range + resets on a kill even if not upgraded [to be verified].

Common Mistakes

  • Attacking a non-isolated target — you’ll lose 40–60% of Q’s damage.
  • Wasting both R charges on an engage — keep one charge for escaping.
  • Don’t use E on walls for surprise ganks.

Notable Interactions

  • He can pass through specific walls on the map — learn which walls he can pass through to set up unpredictable ganks.
  • Unseen Threat also applies a slow — useful for kiting.
  • Kha'Zix is the most effective assassin jungler against isolated carries in the late game.
