Scuttle Contest
- You lose early scuttle fights due to Xin Zhao's superior burst damage and knockup combo, but avoid extended trades where your passive healing can turn fights.
- From level 6, you win 1v1s if you use W to avoid his E-Q combo and force extended trades where your sustain and DPS outscale his burst.
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 strong level 3 spike before falling off.
Invade or Not
- Avoid invading early as Xin Zhao wins most 1v1s pre-6 with his knockup and burst combo.
- Your best invade timing is post-6 when you have R and can use W to negate his engage, targeting his krugs or gromp when you know his location.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W defensively too early in fights - save it for when he commits with E-Q combo to completely negate his burst.
- Avoid fighting in open areas where he can easily land E; instead, fight near walls or jungle chokes where your W zone control is most effective.
