Does Xin Zhao scale?

Somewhat. Xin Zhao holds up late with the right conditions.

Bottom of B. Crescent Guard gives him rare protection after diving and can pull a priority target away from the rest of the enemy team. His statistics and melee target-access problems keep him out of A, but that defensive ultimate buys him more coordinated-fight agency than a normal C-tier diver.

The grade measures one thing: how much a champion can influence a coordinated late-game objective fight once both teams reach full builds. It does not measure early strength, snowballing, or win rate. A weak late-game champion still wins by ending the game first, which is what the rest of the library teaches.
