Scuttle Contest

  • You lose scuttle fights at level 3 as your Q cooldown is too long and you lack sustained combat tools against Xin's E-Q combo.
  • From level 6, you only win 1v1s if you can Q dodge his E engage or if you catch him with low health after he's used abilities on camps.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • Xin Zhao typically starts bot side and looks for early skirmishes, often pathing towards top scuttle around 3:15.
  • He may attempt early invades on your second buff or look to contest scuttle crab aggressively.

Invade or Not

  • You should not invade early as Xin wins most 1v1 scenarios before level 6 and has better gap closing tools.
  • Focus on efficient farming and only look for invades post-6 when you can R away from bad situations or when you know his location elsewhere.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't fight Xin in open areas where he can easily land E, and avoid using Q on jungle monsters when you suspect he's nearby.
  • Never commit to extended trades early game as his sustained damage with Q resets will outdamage your basic attacks.
