711Kha'Zix
579Nautilus
Kha'Zix heavily out-damages Nautilus by 132 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Nautilus should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Kha'Zix's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
15,234Kha'Zix
13,290Nautilus
Kha'Zix generates a commanding 1,943 more gold per game than Nautilus. This substantial economic advantage means Kha'Zix consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
0.3Kha'Zix
1.9Nautilus
Nautilus brings significantly more crowd control than Kha'Zix, with 1.6 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Nautilus far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,147Kha'Zix
2,330Nautilus
Nautilus vastly out-sustains Kha'Zix, healing and mitigating 1,183 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Nautilus can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Kha'Zix is forced to recall.
