Kha'Zix *BUSTED* AF WIth New Duskblade

Guide to Playing Kha'Zix Jungle

Now I know we just put out a guide on some of the most overpowered champions as of Patch 10.23's launch but didn't mention thia guy, primarily because his win rate isn't well...THAT absurd. Sitting at a mere 53% he didn't quite make the cut but I gotta tell ya...this guy is INSANE with the new Duskblade and if you're not playing him you're missing out.

How to Play

Abilities: Q, W, E then prioritize R > Q > E > W [Q evolution first, then R evolution]

Summoner Spells: Flash + Smite

Starting Items: Hailblade + Refillable Potion

Strategy: Rush Duskblade then kill everyone

Core Items: Hailblade, Duskblade of Draktharr, Boots of Mobility, Youmuu's Ghostblade, Edge of Night, Death's Dance

Rune Setup

Primary: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Tenacity, Cut Down

Secondary: Sudden Impact, Ravenous Hunter

How It Works

Duskblade of Draktharr

Stats

+20 ability haste

+55 attack damage

Passive

+18 Lethality (11.2 − 18 (based on level) armor penetration)

UNIQUE – NIGHTSTALKER: Basic attacking an enemy champion deals 100 (+ 30% bonus AD) bonus physical damage on-hit and Slow icon.png slows them by 99% for 0.25 seconds (15 second cooldown). Champion takedowns within 3 seconds reset this effect's cooldown and grant you invisibility for 1.5 seconds.

MYTHIC PASSIVE: Empowers your other Legendary items with 5 ability haste.

This item is absolutely bonkers on Kha'Zix and when you combine it with your evolved R, Kha'Zix continuously blinks in and out of existence like a ninja on steroids.

Good Jungle Sustain

After buffs on all the jungle camps combined with nerfs on the importance of Scuttle Crab, Kha'Zix is a comparatively stronger jungle champion now. Other champions that had trouble clearing are fading into obscurity while champions with strong clear power excel.

Potential Pitfalls

No CC
Not that it's stopped him before, but a lack of CC can pose trouble if you're poorly positioned or your team lacks any form of CC at all.

Mediocre Early Game

Before Kha'Zix picks up his ultimate and Duskblade, these changes obviously don't do much for him. He's still good 1v1 if he gets invaded, but isn't terribly scary early on.

Conclusions

Kha'Zix Jungle was already good before this latest patch and the new item changes have only propelled him further. He's incredibly strong right now and might need some nerfs.
