While statistically Zac is slightly stronger than Kha'Zix in the jungle, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
The magic damage that Zac deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Kha'Zix deals mainly physical damage (86.54%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Kha'Zix, ranking 25th (versus 58th for Zac) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.6 versus 3.3) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Zac player to maintain constant pressure on Kha'Zix, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
