Guide to Synergizing Malphite and Kha'Zix

Tips for Playing as Malphite with Kha'Zix

Despite his abilities scaling on Armor, some games require Malphite to get Magic Resist. When those games occur, try getting Aegis of the Legion, Mercury's Treads, and Guardian Angel.

Armor naturally reduces the rate that attacks go through Granite Shield, so Brutal Strikes will strengthen the shield against physical damage.

Advice to Understand How Kha'Zix Will Play

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.
