Xin Zhao vs Zyra

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use Xin Zhao's strong early dueling to contest river and secure first Scuttle.
Exploit Zyra's immobility and lack of escape to force fights before she sets plants.
Prioritize early objective control using (R) to zone out Zyra's poke and root follow-up.

Jungle Plan

Path to secure first Scuttle and invade when nearby lanes can collapse on Zyra.
Use (E) to gap close and (Q) knockup to force fights before Zyra's plants are fully established.
Counter-gank aggressively around river objectives to deny Zyra's poke and root setups.

Danger windows

Respect Zyra's level 2 root and plant poke when contesting early bot-side Scuttle.
Avoid isolated river fights if Zyra controls brush with plants and her ADC can follow up.
Be cautious during low-health clears as Zyra's poke and root can set up enemy collapses.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear that preserves health for early Scuttle contest.
Move to river at level 3 to challenge Zyra's limited early jungle pressure.
Avoid extended fights without lane priority since Zyra's root and plants punish overcommitment.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full kit allowing strong river duels; force fights before Zyra can react.
Level 6 (R) provides zone control to isolate Zyra and protect objectives from her ultimate.
First fighter item spike increases dueling power, enabling deeper invades and objective control.

Win conditions

Convert early river control into first dragon and Rift Herald with lane priority.
Use strong ganks post-level 3 to pressure lanes and deny Zyra's scaling.
Leverage (R) in teamfights to block Zyra's poke and zone her out, securing objectives and skirmishes.

Tip: For Xin Zhao vs Zyra, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Jungle lane check.
