Kha'Zix into Xin Zhaomedium

Overview

Prioritize isolation picks using fog and vision control to avoid Xin Zhao's strong grouped fights.
Use your high mobility and stealth to punish Xin Zhao's extended clears and isolated camps.
Focus on snowballing through picks and objective control instead of direct river duels.

Jungle Plan

Full clear focusing on camps and lanes where Xin Zhao cannot quickly collapse.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and provide cover against Xin Zhao's dueling.
Use vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to create picks, deny Xin Zhao's objective access, and convert picks into objectives or counter-jungling.

Danger windows

Avoid river fights when Xin Zhao has and ready, especially before your level 6 stealth.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Xin Zhao's nearby lanes can collapse first or if he has ready to zone.
Steer clear of low-health clears or forced smite fights where Xin Zhao's dueling and knockup can punish you hard.

Early game

Start with a clear path that grants early river access when your lanes have priority.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 unless you have vision and health advantage to isolate Xin Zhao.
Use evolved stealth and mobility to counter-invade or gank isolated targets early.

Power spikes

At level 6, use stealth to reposition for picks and avoid Xin Zhao's zone control.
After your first damage item, exploit your burst on isolated targets to invade and punish Xin Zhao's full clears.
Respect Xin Zhao's level 3 power spike when he gains gap close and knockup; avoid isolated fights before evolving abilities.

Win conditions

Use stealth and resets to pick off isolated Xin Zhao or his laners and snowball skirmishes.
Control vision to force Xin Zhao into grouped fights where your isolation damage is limited and exploit his weaker scaling.
Convert picks into dragon and Rift Herald control to deny Xin Zhao tempo and secure mid-game advantages.
