Learn how to Xin Zhao counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Force team fights when Xin Zhao's R is on cooldown — without his ultimate's invulnerability and knockback, he's much more vulnerable to focus fire.
Team Fight
Place wards at jungle entrances near your lane — this gives you advance warning of Xin Zhao's powerful early game ganks, allowing your team to back off in time.
Basic Lane Phase
Avoid fighting Xin Zhao 1v1 in the early game — his Three Talon Strike (Q) and attack speed boost from Audacious Charge (E) make him one of the strongest early duelists in the game.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Save crowd control abilities for when Xin Zhao engages — once he commits with Audacious Charge (E), he has no escape options and is vulnerable to focus fire.
Team Fight Skirmish
Group with your team in the late game — Xin Zhao struggles against coordinated teams and falls off when opponents have defensive items.
Basic Late Game Team Fight
Keep Dragon and Baron warded at all times — Xin Zhao can take objectives quickly with his attack speed buff and sustain from his passive.
Late Game
Avoid walking alone through unwarded areas after the laning phase — Xin Zhao excels at picking off isolated targets with his dash and knock-up combo.
Basic Late Game Skirmish
Xin Zhao's R only knocks back champions that aren't marked as Challenged (the last enemy hit by his attacks or E). Position accordingly in team fights to avoid being isolated from your team.
Advanced Team Fight
Save mobility spells to counter his W thrust — the 50% slow for 1.5 seconds from Wind Becomes Lightning is key to Xin Zhao landing his full combo.
