Scuttle Contest
- You lose scuttle fights at level 3 against Xin Zhao due to his superior early game damage and knock-up combo.
- From level 6, you can only win 1v1s if you maintain maximum range with your passive and have your ultimate available to counter his all-in.
Predicted Jungle Path
- Xin Zhao will likely start his buff opposite to yours and look for a full clear into scuttle contest or early gank.
- He may also opt for a level 3 gank after red-krugs-scuttle if he spots an opportunity.
Invade or Not
- You should not invade Xin Zhao early as he wins most 1v1 encounters pre-6.
- If you must invade, do it after level 6 when you have ultimate available and only when you know his location on the opposite side of the map.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Avoid fighting Xin Zhao in close quarters without your ultimate available, as his E-W-Q combo will burst you down quickly.
- Never contest scuttle crabs early game unless you have significant backup from your laners.
