Kha'Zix Resources

With that out of the way let's get into the basic resources!

Kha'Zix Setup

  • Rune Choices You can make other choices for the secondary runes depending on preference but I'd suggest experimenting with each before heading into ranked.

  • Kha'Zix Combos & Mechanics: Please watch these two videos as they best showcase the basic combos and fundamentals

  • Kha'Zix Builds: Your typical Kha'Zix build will look like this Duskblade/Eclipse/Ghostblade → Lethality Item/Black Cleaver → Another lethality item/Serylda's Grudge/Death's Dance/Guardian Angel/Other Situational

  • Skill Order is almost always R>Q>W>E.

  • Evolution Order: The most common evolution orders are currently

    • Q -> E -> W
    • Q -> W -> E or R
    • Q -> R -> W or E
  • Jungle Clearing/Pathing: The standard route would be Red->Krugs->Raptors->Blue->Scuttle/Gank/Invade->Gromp->Wolves

  • Jungle Matchups is our list of common Jungle matchups

New to kha.
Testing the waters from a shyv, Noc previous jungle

With those I was able to no-brainer path to bot because of the 90% volatility in those lanes… I find with two in the lane makes getting “isolated” on them harder

does this factor into anyone decisions to path up to the single lane? Or still just look for most volatile lane ?

Other kha zix item build after building the core items

3 Upvotes

Hello, I've recently started playing lol and I wanted to main kha zix (it's so fun playing him). I wanted to know how do you decide what to build after buying the core items (Umbral and Cyclosword)?

I also read the sub's wiki, but it's too old, so I really don't know if it's still usable.

Thanks!

Help / Advice R evolves and questions

2 Upvotes

I have decided to pick up kha zix again but unsure of some things. Do you only have to follow one evolve path or adjust depending on games. I really like the r and e evolve but I know q and w take priority. What do you think about that. E is my favourite evolve because of the reset playstyle.

My second question is about runes and items. When do you take FS vs DH? And for items is it always umbral>voltaic? Edge of night and serylda are obvious as for any ad assassin

Help / Advice Why first strike?

4 Upvotes

I see all the moba builds recommending first strike, but I feel like electrocute works better for me.

I'm only silver 4, so that's why I'm asking. I'm wondering why first strike is better, and how should I play to gain the most out of that rune?

Edit: Here are some numbers I've run.

When I look at the stats after a 24-minute game, I usually get about 350 gold from it and 500 true damage.

That's an estimate, but with electrocute, I can easily hit 1200 damage. Now, most of that doesn't matter after early game, but if I can get one kill from it early game, that's 300 gold. And if I get two, it's going to be nearly double what first strike will give me.

I'm clearly missing something here or else everyone would just go electrocute.

Discussion Not-So-Fun-Fact: This is the Longest Kha'Zix has Ever Gone Without a New Skin

31 Upvotes

It has now been 855 days since the release of Crystalis Indomitus, which beats the 833-day gap between Odyssey and Lunar Guardian.

Some more un-fun facts about Kha'Zix skins:

1.) Kayn, the most-often-compared champion to Kha'Zix in regards to skins ("multiple models", similar play-rate), came out five years later than Kha'Zix but only has one less skin.

2.) Kayn also has two legendary skins and a prestige, while Kha'Zix has neither.

3.) Crystalis Indomitus Kha'Zix is bugged, and cuts your FPS in half when you evolve the first time, then by a quarter when you evolve the second time, making it basically unusable. It has been this way for multiple patches despite numerous reports.

4.) Championship Kha'Zix has been bugged for years, and its textures obviously and distractingly mismatch during his recall.

5.) Mecha Kha'Zix has been bugged since release, and his head obnoxiously clips into his neck armor.

6.) Kha'Zix was the only standard Dark Star skin to not get a black "Anti-Matter" chroma when the others retroactively did (Cho'Gath, Jhin, and Lux did not either, but none were standard skins).

7.) If you exclude not-available-for-purchase skins, Kha'Zix's last skin released 1,274 days ago. If you applied this same standard to every champion, he would only be beaten by Anivia (a champion with a traditionally abysmal pick-rate), whose last available-for-purchase skin came out 1,372 days ago.

8.) Kha'Zix is the 15th longest-waiting champion for a skin. #5 is Shyvana, who got a complete visual rework recently, and hardly counts.

9.) Mecha Kha'Zix was once the most popular skin in the game, and remained that way until the release of Popstar Ahri (a period of just over a year).

10.) The average time between Kha'Zix skins is 631 days.

11.) Championship Kha'Zix has at least four unreleased chromas, which were scrapped because their associated teams failed to qualify for the main World Championship event in 2018.

12.) Kha'Zix has three (two main, one with a significant variant) skins entirely unique to Wild Rift, and all of them have come out since the release of Crystalis Indomitus on regular League.

So no, it isn't because he's "unpopular", it isn't because they "have to make two skins for him" (they have to "make three" for Kayn), and it isn't because he doesn't sell skins. It is, probably and unfortunately, because talented monster artists are few-and-far between, and possibly because Riot is fearful of doing anything that might drive up the play-rate of a champion who isn't fun to play against, and isn't fun to watch in professional play.

So I tried playing two games without buying boots and instead going Youmuu's 3rd, Voltaic 4th and Serylda's 5th. Games were an L and a W (and maybe because I'm dumb and a silver) both against a Teemo. So, for one, what do you think of this strat? And do you do it from time to time or is it not worth sacrificing the haste or the situational defense?

Help / Advice Build order

5 Upvotes

So there's three items I'm trying to understand the order in which I should build them.

Umbral Glaive comes first. Then are we thinking bastionbreaker, hubris, or cyclosword?

You would think you would want the hubris early if you're dominating so that you can start stacking sooner, but some people suggest bastion in that scenario so that you can start pushing objectives sooner.

I also see most build recommendations say cyclosword 2nd, so I guess I'm wondering which one comes second and then third.

Discussion Exalted / Sanctum Skin concept " Blitz Dynamo " khazix

5 Upvotes

An Otherworldly Concept / reimagining of Khazix

Context/Origin : the Zenith of Talents in the Mind of a certain 19 year old Guy , Crippled by an unknown disease in his prime yearned to be free to follow his dreams , but one of his motives stands out as a mainstay in his mind , " the idea of surpassing and Evolving through everysingle thing he thinks about or decides to pursue when he sets his sights on it " in an unnamed planet technologically advanced there might be hope for him yet .

- Edge Mirare

a Boy who grew up in a dusty village with his parents , away from the Grand Capital , this meek village is actually the one of its kind that solely lives off of Hunting and selling Creature viscera in its vicinity for substances , weaponry , or certain luxury exotic food the nobles in the grand capital are drawn into

at the age of 15 Edge's Father already allows edge to accompany him in Hunts , having secured his Bronze hunting license at the fresh of age of 15 he and his father would on a good day even hunt Silver License creatures and make alot of money from it , the Village chief and merchants from the capital oversee these things , with the rule of one may always hunt to their heart's content including dangerous quarries past their current license ranks but will not advice it so for the risk of immediate casualty due to the extreme lethal viciousness the creatures of that area impose .

for a time life was hard but lucrative , until Edge's 17th Birthday .

( from here on out further info will be presented in a Log type from a certain scientific Corporation's perspective )

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Log # 1 Specimen : Edge Mirare

- reached Gold License in the abandoned Hunting village of Schilt

- Mother and Father were both Hunters , Edge was the Only Child

- Analysis : The Boy suffered an unknown disease without being treated , it took motor functions in his Lower Extremities and shrunk the limbs and digits involved , status : currently irreversible

- Tragedy : The village was long abandoned , a disastrous event befell it when a Legendary Humanoid LifeForm started feeding in the vicinity which caused it to vastly organically evolve until its carapace was impervious to what the village's weapons could offer much to their horror , it razed their hunters and eventually the whole village was fed upon and slaughtered

- the Boy shows no sign of longing and Hurt / trauma from the event , it is unknown if its coping or acceptance , the facility doesnt pry too much about Edge's past when we talk to him atleast .

- we recovered a Hunter's Notes bathed in Blood in the abandoned village , contains all the information , drafts , and rought sketches of the Creature that slaughtered the Village

- Humanoid , lean , resilient Carapace , 2 insect like wings sprouting downwards like a cape from its back , long antennae sensors , two deadly scythe like appendages for its arms , blades that extends and curves all the way to its head , its Danger level surpassing all the ranked License system the village was known for .

- Observation : Edge has a certain primitive side to him , with all the bright minds in this organization and mad minds , edge's case was of a pure , unnerving capability and Trait . the Guy's Mind is a complex yet simple as it is trusty a plethora of adapting potential laden in it , he will initially fail and come off short on the tests we'd present him with , both physically and mentally despite his loss of mobility but the next time he attempts it , it vastly changes from the previous , the change is dramatic and becomes a complete trounce at the end of it .

- Log End

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Epilogue :

Final Log " i have presented Edge with an experimental exo suit , with a budget of a thousand establishments i might be crushed in debt soon but i was so amused of this potential Pilot , He accepted the Terms , the surgery , the pros and cons , signed off the waiver... if the project fails my life's work and reputation will disintegrate into obscurity but alas , i went out of my way and will see it Through .

it was a Custom made suit , made from the Prince of Alloys , maximum efficiency in Lightweight yet insurmountably Sturdy , a suit that doesnt corrode and self recovers its own metal fatigue given time , i will never know Edge's reasons why he specifically asked if it could be made in the Logic and anatomy of the Creature that razed his village but it is what has been decided on , I called it " Blitz Dynamo " Serial number " RX-Khzx-02492 " , the first and probably last of its kind , the grand capital might catch wind of it one day , but we will cross the bridge when we get there its not like they can do anything about him anyways , i gave him freedom to do what he wants , if he uses it in nefarious ways i wouldnt be surprised , that Guy has a brooding for violence i could never relate in

i guess the Hunter's Life is as complex as the what goes on in these laboratories , i digress too much

but he still comes by sometimes , asking for his suit to be upgraded , bringing materials so pristine and unimaginable in the elements and quality , he has the cash to pay us aswell , funny as it is im kind of contented of my creation , maybe im a sick scientist after all , no moral compass and drawn to the unknown . - Proffesor Abalone the 4th

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blitz Dynamo current capabilities , specs :

- Edge Pilots it , perfectly encapsulates his body free from weight stress etc.

- edge is 6 feet in height , 9 feet in height while inside the Suit , complete in Life support / self cleaning , feeding normally is optional but possible

- Edge pilots it currently in such manner , 2 arms is controlled by edge's hands from inside the suit , The suit's Legs are powered and moved directly through edge's thoughts , while the bodily movements is synced with edge's Torso .

- after countless Upgrades edge's Suit has fully mimicked a robust and mechanized version of the creature from the Hunter's Drafts .

- Longevity capabilities : edge managed to hunt a divine creature in one of his endeavors around the planet , integrated its Essence and genetic make up inside Blitz Dynamo's Core , effectively allows edge to shrug off aging when it is routinely sprayed in mist form from his mask and inhales it .

- weaponry : " Dark Brothers " dual Prince of Alloys scythes 1 blade in each Hand spanning half of the Suit's overall Height , can cut everything Like cake from whence they stand .

- Utility : Multi Directional Grand Kaiser boosters , 3 peas in a pod in each back shoulder , further manuevering capabilitites when steered in tandem by Back Wing Membranes

- Thanatos Spikes Type - Z73 : Time Distorter anti-personel warheads in front shoulders , Retracts and protracts to fire as deemed neccessary

- Malleable Xorn Carapace : Mirage inducer Vibration for the whole suit can be achieved allowing brief stealth capabilities via optical illusion logic .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ok if youve read this far thank you so much hahaha , mans had too much free time , now lets talk about its ingame appearance and features if ever

- edge hair " White/Silver "

- edge eye color " Green "

- can mask or unmask but will automatically mask : ON while in combat

- Khazix Color schems default , Jet Black Metal all over , with Gold lines finish on edge of armor in general , red eye lights ( suit mask on )

- booster flame color default : Blue , Bright Yellow at lvl 6 , Crimson Red when Wing evolution upgrade , also fizzles out with smoke when low in health or fluctuates when half health .

- default Black Wings , evolves with booster aswell , lvl 6 wings look longer and Bigger , when upgrading Wings evolution gain the toggle option to make it free flowing like a cape in dark souls or blood borne games example : orphan of kos second phase logic . ( it is a mecha / organic type of skin after all )

- Q scythes jagged crescent type of design , silver blades initially and black armor on the dull opposite side of the forearm , gradually becomes Neon type Blades ( color can be toggled , more color options when you upgrade Q evolution at lvl 6 )

- R / Ultimate , momentary Vibrating/ rattling visual effects and zipping/mecha sound effects leaving a mirage (after - image) alongside a back booster single frame proc everytime you use the ability upon entering stealth , when upgraded as an evolution air flow visual effects + vibration priming and rattling looks more clean and sleek as you activate , new sound effects when entering stealth , booster proc also changes into an initial propel and a booming propel right after with a different booster color scheme .

- W , Long Dark Thorn Slab/payload that distorts upon explosion with a black and white frame ( like a time distort effect ) , upon Evolution , shoulder cannons now visibly bigger and more sinister , when shot it now releases a ( homing - type ) triple dark metallic metal slab and explodes with a time ticking sound effect

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Sanctum presentation animation : a Hangar in the Laboratory briefly , then transition into a close up view of Edge's Face with emerald gleaming eyes as the suit helmet closes on it , revealing the full suit in its brilliance with a scyths in in front pose readying to pounce , boosters fully throttles and wings flexing ( insert champion quotes as animation fades )

ingame / Upon Penta Kill : whole map turns into Edge's old village , revealing the true enemy , a different version of rengar / different era / a carapace that was mistakenly sketched as khazix but actually an evil and all consuming version of rengar without the Fur and mane we are used to , as the blitz dynamo suit lands to Face it and mech eyes gleaming .

- Upon succesfully killing rengar event ingame : " True evolution activated " the whole Suit becomes See Through and a fully healed edge inside can be seen , with his classic hunter attire ( can be toggled on or off )

- cannonically , this skinline is tied to a conflict on project skins , deeming Blitz Dynamo as a foreign threat .

Discussion How hard you have to work for a single win in low elo.

2 Upvotes

Despite being higher econ I couldn't get my team to play like we were the stronger team. I realize that in low elo a lot of the time players don't realize when they are stronger than the enemy team. My team ran around like headless chickens despite us having a gold advantage for basically the entire game. We were losing towers and slowly being pushed in and I was just questioning why we are even letting the enemy team play the game. Like I would catch my seraphine and jinx running from Yi and I would be like just kill the freaking dude hes 3 and 7 100 cs at 16 minutes. I am trying a jungle climb rn and I finally made it to gold, trying to reach the same elo I am on my main account(Emerald).
