Xin Zhao
Champions that beat Xin Zhao
- Ashebot
Enchanted Crystal Arrow R stuns Xin Zhao out of his dash, interrupting Audacious Charge mid-air. Volley W kite-slows him through Frost Shot passive, and Hawkshot E scouts his jungle path to deny the gank approach before he reaches the lane.
- Dr Mundojungle
Three Talon Strike (Q) knockup is consumed by Goes Where He Pleases (P) for free, denying the Xin combo opener. Crescent Guard (R) isolation timer is outlasted by Maximum Dosage (R) regen, and Infected Bonesaw (Q) chips through Audacious Charge (E) gap-close.
- Gravesjungle
Quickdraw E dashes Graves out of the arena and Smoke Screen W blinds Xin Zhao's Three Talon Strike autos so the third-hit knockup never lands. End of the Line Q chunks Xin through his Determination heal at extended range outside Audacious Charge.
- Lilliajungle
Lilting Lullaby R puts Xin Zhao to sleep before he can press Audacious Charge, voiding the entire engage. Swirlseed E lobs a long-range root that stops the dash mid-air, and Blooming Blows Q kite damage chunks him through Determination heal.
- Morganasupport
Dark Binding Q roots Xin Zhao for 3 seconds while he is charging in, stopping Wind Becomes Lightning plus E chain before it starts. Black Shield E protects Morgana's carry from his Q knockup CC, and Soul Shackles R chains AOE stun if Xin commits.
Champions Xin Zhao beats
- Caitlynbot
Wind Becomes Lightning W slows Caitlyn while Audacious Charge E closes the gap from extended Challenged range. 90 Caliber Net E is a single short-cooldown displacement that cannot escape the full Q triple-strike chain once Crescent Guard R isolates her.
- Fioratop
Three Talon Strike (Q) knockup chains through Riposte (W) parry timing window once W is down. Determination (P) heal counters Vitals (P) chip, and Crescent Guard (R) isolation locks Fiora 1v1 in Xin's favored zone away from her team.
- Jhinbot
Wind Becomes Lightning W slows Jhin while Audacious Charge E closes the gap from extended Challenged range. Captive Audience W traps are short-range zoning, not escape, and Curtain Call R roots Jhin in place at exactly the moment Xin Zhao R isolation lands.
- Karthusjungle
Xin Zhao's Audacious Charge (E) closes onto Karthus at level 3 with knockup chain into Three Talon Strike (Q) burst. Crescent Guard (R) isolates Karthus from his team during Requiem (R) channel, and Wind Becomes Lightning (W) interrupts the cast.
- Kha'Zixjungle
Audacious Charge (E) plus Three Talon Strike (Q) knockup chain cancels Leap (E) entry, and Crescent Guard (R) isolates Kha'Zix from his back-line targets. Wind Becomes Lightning (W) slow holds him during Void Assault (R) stealth recast windows.
- Kindredjungle
Audacious Charge (E) plus Three Talon Strike (Q) knockup chain invades Kindred's camps at level 2-3 and kills her before Mark stacks ramp. Crescent Guard (R) isolates her from team peel, and Wind Becomes Lightning (W) slow holds her through Dance of Arrows (Q) escapes.
- Seraphinesupport
Crescent Guard R knocks Seraphine out of the arena and locks her ADC inside the 1v1. Surround Sound W shield breaks fast under sustained autos, and Beat Drop E slow does not stop Audacious Charge mid-dash because the dash is uninterruptible.
- Sorakasupport
Crescent Guard R knocks Soraka out of the arena and locks her ADC inside the 1v1. Astral Infusion W heals at 5% of her own HP cost, leaving her vulnerable, and Wish R global cannot keep up with Xin Zhao's auto-attack rotation plus Determination passive heal.
- Twitchjungle
Xin Zhao's Audacious Charge E dash applies AOE reveal on landing, breaking Ambush Q stealth before the ambush resolves. Three Talon Strike Q third-hit knock-up locks Twitch in melee, Wind Becomes Lightning W cone slows the kite,
- Viegojungle
Viego first clear is slow and his level 3 duel is mediocre, while Xin Zhao Three Talon Strike (Q) third-hit knock-up plus Audacious Charge (E) gap-close burst him during the camp. Crescent Guard (R) sphere blocks ranged Spectral Maw (W) stun and Determination passive heals.
- Yuumisupport
Crescent Guard R knocks Yuumi out of the arena and locks her ADC inside the 1v1. Yuumi has no body while detached from her ally, and You and Me! W cannot save her from R isolation. Her ADC dies in melee range with no shield uptime to peel the third Q knockup.
