How to Play This Matchup
Survive to Scale
Xin Zhao will try to bully you early. Give up CS if needed  your job is to not die. Bel'Veth outscales hard after 2 items. Play for farm, not fights.
Armor Rush
Both champions deal physical damage. Whoever builds armor first (Plated Steelcaps, Bramble Vest) gets a huge advantage in trades.
Exploit Xin Zhao's Weakness
Xin Zhao's main weakness: Falls off late, kiting, outscaled. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Bel'Veth Win Condition
Stack attack speed infinitely, coral form after herald/baron
Xin Zhao Win Condition
Early ganks, R blocks ranged damage, duel anyone early
