One of these champions is not usually played in this lane — treat the verdict as a rough guide.
How to play it
- Press early
Tristana is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Poke and back off
Use your range: hit, then step back before Xin Zhao reaches you. Never stand where they can.
- Physical resistance
Xin Zhao deals physical damage — Death's Dance as your 2nd or 3rd item.
- Long fights
Xin Zhao is a tank — build sustained damage and keep hitting; burst won't do it.
When you are in danger
- Save your dash for CC
Don't dash in — keep it to escape Xin Zhao's crowd control.

How to beat Xin Zhao
- Buy armor items like Plated Steelcaps or Thornmail
- Use hard CC before he can dash / blink
- Hard to pin down without CC — don't waste delayed skill-shots
- Buy Mercury's Treads or Quicksilver Sash for tenacity / cleanse
How to play as Tristana
- Combo: W (Rocket Jump) → E (Explosive Charge) → autos to detonate
- W resets on kill or assist — chase forever
- Build Kraken Slayer + Phantom Dancer for on-hit + attack speed
