Kha'Zix
jungle · Jungle invader
Starts the fight inside your own jungle, so tracking and numbers matter more than pathing.
He looks for the level-two buff invade. Leash fast and light your jungle entrances early.
Window: before two minutes
Kha'Zix wins isolated 1v1s from level 2; an early ward on your own buff entrance turns his invade into a losing fight.
Zac
jungle · Early ganker
Hunts kills at levels two to four, so the first wards and a safe wave decide the lane.
His jump comes from deep fog. Ward inside his jungle, not just the river mouth.
Window: before four minutes
Zac's E launches from over walls far beyond normal ward lines; a deep ward on the jump spot is worth two river wards.
