Lillia vs Xin Zhao

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Lillia's very high clear speed to out-tempo Xin Zhao and secure early objective control.
Avoid early river fights before movement speed stacks are active to reduce risk against Xin Zhao's strong level 3 dueling.
Focus on scaling through fast clears and leverage sleep engage to win grouped fights later.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears and path around lanes that can follow your (E) sleep setup for effective ganks.
Fight for river control and Scuttle only when your lanes can move first to avoid Xin Zhao's level 3 engage.
Use vision and sleep (E)/(R) to isolate Xin Zhao in objective fights and deny him access to dragon and Rift Herald.

Danger windows

Xin Zhao's level 3 with (E) and (Q) up makes early river fights risky; avoid solo contests without lane support.
Be cautious during low-health clears where Xin Zhao can invade and force smite fights.
Objective setups when (R) is ready can zone out your team; kite out his ultimate before committing.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit level 4 quickly and reset tempo before contesting river.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority to support or Xin Zhao is off-path.
Avoid early invades into Xin Zhao's jungle unless you have vision and lane assistance to counter his strong level 3 pressure.

Power spikes

At level 4+, use your fast clear and sleep (E) to pressure Xin Zhao before he hits level 6.
Respect Xin Zhao's level 3 power spike when he gains (E) gap close and (Q) knockup; avoid isolated river fights then.
After level 6, use your global sleep (R) to initiate or disengage around objectives, countering Xin Zhao's zone control (R).

Win conditions

Convert your clear speed advantage into early dragon and Rift Herald control by arriving first and using sleep to isolate Xin Zhao.
Use your mobility and (E) sleep to set up ganks on lanes with priority, denying Xin Zhao counter-gank opportunities.
Deny Xin Zhao free farm by counter-jungling when he overextends, then leverage your AP scaling and teamfight sleep to win mid-to-late game fights.
