The jungle race — the windows in Kha'Zix's plan

Read from Kha'Zix's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Sejuani.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearKha'Zix FavouredIsolation-bonus Taste Their Fear chunks anyone who face-checks alone, but Arctic Assault is engage utility, not duel damage. You still win the straight exchange at the first buff; keep it short, keep it decisive, and keep the scuttle line yours.
Level 2 SkirmishKha'Zix DominantVoid Spike's heal-poke wins the slow trade war at river entrances. Later in the game this bites, because the Arctic Assault knock-up into a Permafrost stun chains you into her gank follow-up. But with one camp still up on both sides none of it is online, so take the level-2 skirmish and tax every camp Sejuani concedes.
Level 3 RouteKha'Zix DominantIso Q damage at level 3 already deletes squishier junglers caught solo, while Arctic Assault is engage utility, not duel damage. Only one of those wins at the opening scuttle, so press it: take the level-3 river fight, then leave with the first scuttle and the gank window behind it.
Levels 4-5 MacroKha'Zix Dominant — Keep FightingLevels 4-5 change nothing: you still win every straight duel vs Sejuani, and she uses 4-5 to set up Permafrost ganks with a laner, since her own damage is not the threat. Sit in their river, take both scuttles, and tax the camps they concede.
Level 6 BreakpointEvolution FavouredYour first evolution means isolated targets simply die — hunt the side brushes. Glacial Prison turns any pick into a team kill, so the margin is real but narrow: fight when your ultimate is up and Glacial Prison is the one on cooldown.
First Item SpikeUmbral Glaive / Eclipse SpikeUmbral Glaive clears the wards that would spot your approach and Eclipse adds a two-hit burst plus a shield, so an Isolated Taste Their Fear (Q) into Leap (E) now deletes squishy targets outright. Camps fall fast enough to clear a full side and still arrive at a lane. Use the spike to hunt lone targets in river and side lanes rather than joining even teamfights. Sejuani's first item is a durability spike — she does not start killing you, she starts being impossible to remove.
2+ Items ScalingKha'Zix Favoured at Full BuildFull-build math leans your way: extended fights and side-lane duels favor you over Sejuani — make late fights about 1v1s, not coin-flips.
