Xin Zhao Matchups Overview
Xin Zhao General information
Xin Zhao tips and tricks
Xin Zhao is a good Jungler in the early game. Use your early strengths to invade the enemies jungle and steal away camps when you spot them on the opposite side of the map.
Avoid team fighting unless your Ultimate R is up. Without it, you’ll be vulnerable and relatively easy to kill.
Don’t be afraid to repeatedly gank lanes. Xin Zhao is really good at ganking and can do so over and over again.
