All
Save your crowd control until after Xin Zhao's Q knockup ends during his ganks — this creates one long, unbroken disable instead of two overlapping ones, giving the target no window to escape.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Xin Zhao's ultimate leaves him invulnerable to enemy champions far from him for 4 seconds, and it won't knock back whichever enemy he's marked "Challenged." That isolated target stays in melee range, so add your damage onto it while Xin tanks the rest of the fight safely.
Team Fight Skirmish
Xin Zhao's ultimate has a long cooldown for an ultimate — without it, he loses his invulnerability and can't isolate a target, making him far easier to burst down, so avoid committing to full teamfights until it's back up.
Advanced Team Fight Late Game
Xin Zhao is one of the strongest early-game junglers and looks to gank often — hold lane priority in the first few minutes so he has room to path toward your lane.
Basic Lane Phase
Xin Zhao has excellent early objective control and can contest Dragon and Rift Herald as soon as they spawn — be ready to help him contest vision and capitalize on the objectives he takes early.
Lane Phase
Landing a basic attack or E on an enemy marks them "Challenged," extending Xin Zhao's E dash range from medium to long — he can close distance on a damaged target faster than expected during a chase.
