Kha'Zix Power Spikes (Patch 26.20)

Mid

When Kha'Zix Mid gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Kha'Zix wins most.

Lv 3
All three basic abilities at level 3
Kha'Zix's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
Lv 6
Ultimate rank 1 at level 6
The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Kha'Zix hits it.
Lv 11
Ultimate rank 2 at level 11
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Kha'Zix can start or win.
Lv 16
Ultimate rank 3 at level 16
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Kha'Zix can start or win.

Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.
