Xin Zhao vs Wukong

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Xin Zhao's early dueling and river contesting power lets him dictate early jungle tempo against Wukong.
Prioritize fighting around first Scuttle and early objectives to leverage Xin Zhao's stronger level 3 dueling and zone control.

Jungle Plan

Full clear with health preservation to maintain pressure for river fights and counter-ganks.
Fight for first Scuttle when lane priority supports river control and objective setup.
Track Wukong's pathing to counter-gank his early ganks and punish his less efficient clears before level 6.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights when Wukong's (R) cyclone is available and nearby lanes cannot assist.
Be cautious during low-health clears to prevent being collapsed on by Wukong and his lanes.
Respect Wukong's level 6 engage timing as it increases his threat in skirmishes and objective setups.

Early game

Start path toward first Scuttle and look to contest it if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid extended fights if Wukong's clone or (E) dash is available without lane support.
Use level 3 power spike to invade or countergank aggressively when health and cooldowns allow.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Xin Zhao's full kit, enabling strong river fights and punishing Wukong's early clears.
Level 6 (R) provides zone control to isolate Wukong and protect objectives, increasing fight-winning potential.
First fighter item spike enhances dueling power, allowing Xin Zhao to dominate extended skirmishes before Wukong scales.

Win conditions

Use early dueling strength to secure first Scuttle and dragon control, denying Wukong's scaling.
Convert river pressure into Herald and dragon setups by coordinating with lanes holding priority.
Punish Wukong's pre-level 6 farming by invading or counter-ganking to delay his power spike.
