Xin Zhao vs Sejuani

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Xin Zhao's superior early dueling and mobility to aggressively contest Scuttle and invade Sejuani's jungle before she completes her first clear.
Prioritize disrupting Sejuani's controlled pathing to deny her safe farm and force her into reactive plays that favor your early skirmishing style.

Jungle Plan

Path aggressively toward river and enemy camps when nearby lanes have priority to secure Scuttle and force Sejuani off her jungle.
Counter-gank and fight for early objectives like Dragon and Rift Herald when your team controls lane priority and vision.
Avoid direct fights if Sejuani has her main engage tools ready; instead, reset tempo by farming your side or contesting neutral camps cross-map.

Danger windows

First Scuttle contest is risky if Sejuani's nearby lanes can collapse; avoid isolated fights without vision.
Isolated river skirmishes become dangerous when Sejuani's ultimate is available and lanes lack vision or priority.
Forced Smite fights on Dragon or Herald are high risk due to her crowd control chains; approach with lane support and vision control.

Early game

Start on your strong clear side to reach level 3 quickly and contest the first Scuttle crab before Sejuani arrives.
Avoid fighting near Sejuani's leash or when enemy lanes lack priority to prevent getting collapsed on.
Use your early mobility and dueling power to invade Sejuani's jungle after spotting her on the opposite side, punishing her slower clears.

Power spikes

Level 3 spike unlocks full kit for stronger duels; use this to invade or contest camps aggressively before Sejuani can respond.
Level 6 grants (R) for zone control and survivability; use it to isolate Sejuani or protect objectives before she can engage.
First fighter item completion enhances dueling and objective control; leverage this to pressure Dragon and Herald fights decisively.

Win conditions

Convert early dueling advantage into denying Sejuani camps and securing Scuttle control to starve her jungle resources.
Use lane priority from teammates to enable deep invades and secure Rift Herald and Dragon objectives.
Snowball leads by engaging first in teamfights with (E) and (Q), disrupting Sejuani's frontline and preventing her from setting up CC chains.
