While statistically Xin Zhao is slightly stronger than Nidalee 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. Nidalee has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
An important advantage of Xin Zhao is higher farming statistics (ranked 30th among role champions) (versus 59th for Nidalee), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (0.0 versus 2.4) suggests they are less effective 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 Nidalee, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
