Guide to Synergizing Kha'Zix and Zilean

Tips for Playing as Kha'Zix with Zilean

Enemies are considered isolated if they have no allies within a short distance. The damage of Taste Their Fear is massively increased against these targets.

Unseen Threat activates when Kha'Zix cannot be seen by the enemy team. Reactivate by using brush or Void Assault. Don't forget to apply Unseen Threat by autoattacking enemy champions.

Kha'Zix has a great deal of freedom to choose where and when to fight. Pick your battles carefully to succeed.

Advice to Understand How Zilean Will Play

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.
