Blackthorn Kha'Zix
Overview
Blackthorn Kha'Zix asks you to park at level 7 and slow-roll until Kha'Zix hits three stars. Tier D is the verdict from roughly 4,500 games at a 5.46 average placement.
In the wider field it ranks #46 of 53 by placement — 7th of the 14 boards holding that tier, exactly at the 5.48 midpoint of Tier D. A quiet line — 0.25% pick rate against 0.5% at the median — so the units come cheap.
Itemization starts with Kha'Zix: Edge of Night, Hand Of Justice, and Nashor's Tooth is the setup recorded games reach most often, averaging 4.06 when completed. Azir picks up the leftovers as the board's second threat.
Warwick is the roster's fingerprint; only one other tracked comp fields it. The synergy sheet lists 4 active traits here, topped by Blackthorn at 5, and Brawler (2) close behind. There is latent Executioner on this board — 1 unit, not yet active, and a single Executioner Emblem is all it takes to bring the bonus online.
If the Armory or an augment offers one, Executioner Emblem is the emblem this board wants most, ahead of Ravager Emblem. Asked the other way — “I found a Executioner Emblem, what do I play?” — this board ranks #16 of the 17 comps our model scores for it.
Blackthorn Kha'Zix is not the only board that wants Kha'Zix — Rival Kha'Zix and Invoker Morgana star it too — two boards chasing one carry thin out the late-game shops fast.
The trend is negative — later games in the sample average worse than earlier ones. Treat the numbers with some care — at roughly 4,500 recorded games this is one of the thinner samples we track.
