How to Play This Matchup
1
Power Curve
Karthus is strongest late game while Kha'Zix peaks mid game. Play around your power window.
2
Mixed Resistances
Karthus deals AP damage while Kha'Zix deals AD. Build resistances accordingly — don't stack the wrong type.
3
Sustained vs Burst
Kha'Zix wants to combo and disengage. Karthus wins extended trades. Don't let Kha'Zix get a clean rotation — force long fights where sustain wins.
4
Range Advantage
Karthus has range advantage. Kha'Zix should look for short trades when Karthus uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.
5
Exploit Karthus's Weakness
Karthus's main weakness: Invaded early, immobile, Zhonya's blocks R. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
6
Karthus Win Condition
R global damage, passive keeps dealing damage after death
7
Kha'Zix Win Condition
Isolate targets for bonus damage, evolve abilities, snowball
