Scuttle Contest

  • Post-6, you win 1v1s if you land Q for the reset and can burst him before his sustain from W becomes relevant.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • Xin Zhao will likely start bot side for leash, clear towards top, then look for early ganks or scuttle control around 3:15.
  • He favors aggressive early pathing to capitalize on his level 3 power spike.

Invade or Not

  • Avoid invading pre-6 as Xin Zhao wins all early encounters with his gap closer and knockup combo.
  • Your best invade timing is post-6 when you have R available, targeting his camps when he's showing on opposite side of map.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't fight him in river or open areas early game where he can easily gap close with E.
  • Avoid face-checking bushes without vision as his E-Q combo can catch you off guard and lead to your death.
