Written guide · based on the official ability texts

The isolated assassination

Q AA AA

When: An enemy is isolated.

Void Assault makes you invisible and triggers Unseen Threat: your next attack deals bonus magic damage and slows; Taste Their Fear deals more damage to an isolated target.

The leap engage

W AA AA

When: The target is far away.

Leap damages around the landing point; follow with Taste Their Fear and Void Spike, which heals you if you are within the explosion radius.

The invisible escape

When: You need to get away.

Void Assault raises your movement speed and makes you invisible; the Adaptive Cloaking evolution extends the duration and allows one more use.

Common mistakes

Engaging an enemy who is with others: your bonuses depend on isolation.
Not choosing your evolutions according to the situation.
Staying visible before the engage: you lose Unseen Threat.

Official ability descriptions

PassiveUnseen Threat

Nearby enemies that are Isolated from their allies are marked. Kha'Zix's abilities have interactions with Isolated targets.

When Kha'Zix is not visible to the enemy team, he gains Unseen Threat, causing his next basic attack against an enemy champion to deal bonus magic damage and slow them for a few seconds.

QTaste Their Fear

Deals physical damage to the target. Damage increased on Isolated targets. If he chooses to Evolve Reaper Claws, this refunds a percent of it's cooldown against Isolated targets. Kha'Zix also gains increased range on his basic attacks and Taste Their Fear.

WVoid 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 he chooses to Evolve Spike Racks, Void Spike now fires three spikes in a cone, slow enemies hit, and reveals enemy champions hit for 2 seconds. Isolated targets are slowed for extra.

ELeap

Kha'Zix leaps to an area, dealing physical damage upon landing. If he chooses to Evolve Wings, Leap's range increases by 200 and the cooldown resets on champion kill or assist.

RVoid Assault

Each 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 Move Speed. If he chooses to Evolve Adaptive Cloaking, Void Assault gains increased Invisibility duration, and an additional use.

Kha'Zix has a great deal of freedom to choose where and when to fight. Pick your battles carefully to succeed.
