Xin Zhao vs Sejuani Выбор контр-удара

Sejuani ends a game as the tougher body by some distance: 2,568 health and 126.7 armor at level 18, against 2,422 and 109.8. Xin Zhao still wins 54.11% of 353 recorded games on patch 16.13.1, which suggests the fight rarely lasts long enough for those numbers to matter.

Frost stacks are the timing problem. Permafrost only freezes and stuns a champion already carrying maximum Frost, so Sejuani needs Winter’s Wrath to connect first, and both swings of it. Arctic Assault gets her into position but stops on the first champion it hits, and Fury of the North grants Frost Armor only after she has been out of combat, with the slow immunity attached to it. A Xin Zhao who opens with Audacious Charge strips that preparation immediately.

His own sequence needs no setup. Determination heals on every third attack, Wind Becomes Lightning marks a Challenged target, and Crescent Guard scales its damage off current health, which suits a fight against a tank that is not trying to burst him down. Her mixed damage, from 66 attack damage plus Frost effects, spreads the threat across both resistances and softens each part of it. The 345 to 340 movement edge is small; difficulty ratings of 2 and 4 count for more in a skirmish decided by a clean opener.
