Xin Zhao into Wukongmedium

Overview

Use your superior level 3 dueling power to contest first Scuttle and early river control.
Prioritize early fights around dragon and Herald with lane priority to leverage your stronger skirmishing.
Avoid extended fights if Wukong's clone or dash is available without lane support to prevent being baited.

Full clear with health conservation to maintain pressure for early river fights and counter-ganks.
Fight for first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first and secure river vision.
Track Wukong's pathing to counter-gank his early ganks and punish his slower clears before level 6.

Avoid isolated river fights when Wukong's cyclone is available and lanes cannot assist.
Be cautious during low-health clears to prevent collapses from Wukong and his lanes.
Respect Wukong's level 6 engage timing, as his knockup increases threat in skirmishes and objectives.

Start pathing toward the first Scuttle and contest it when nearby lanes hold priority.
Hold health and cooldowns for river fights and counter-ganks instead of full clearing aggressively.
Avoid extended duels before level 3 or when Wukong's clone and dash are up and lanes cannot assist.

Level 3 unlocks your full kit, enabling strong river fights and punishing Wukong's early clears.
Level 6 grants zone control to isolate Wukong and secure objectives.
First fighter item spike boosts dueling power, letting you dominate skirmishes before Wukong scales.

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.
