While statistically Xin Zhao is slightly stronger than Ekko in the jungle, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
Except for rare builds, Xin Zhao deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Ekko deals primarily magic damage (79.08%), additional magic resistance may be required.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Ekko, ranking 13th (versus 30th for Xin Zhao) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.7 versus 2.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Xin Zhao player to maintain constant pressure on Ekko, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
