Bars show pick volume, the line shows win rate. The dashed line marks 50%.

Across all seasons (2012–2026): a single season does not supply enough shared games. Allies seen at least 25 times alongside Xin Zhao. The gap is measured against its own 48.2% average, not against 50%. The Role column is the one held by the ally.
