Xin Zhao Counters

The best champions outside of lane to counter Xin Zhao include Kalista, Xayah, and Kai'Sa. These picks are all good at countering Xin Zhao with win rates over 55%. Even if these Xin Zhao counter picks are not chosen opposite your position, it's not a good idea to choose him into these matchups. They will likely crush Xin Zhao.

Conversely, if the opposing team brings either Teemo or Tristana, Xin Zhao mains should seriously consider taking him, as he easily destroys these selections with win rates over 55% against each ofthem.

Xin Zhao is incredibly strong during the early game. He can often win most 1 v 1 encounters due to his Q and E, so it's best to avoid direct confrontations with him during this stage of the game.

Xin Zhao's ultimate R move is highly effective against ranged enemies, forcing them to come into melee range. It's crucial to keep this in mind and maintain distance or wait until it's on cooldown before engaging.

He has excellent objective control in the early game, taking early Dragons and Rift Heralds with ease. It's important to strengthen your defense at these objectives to prevent him from gaining an advantage.

Towards the late game, Xin Zhao falls off. If he can't one-shot his target, he will likely be crowd controlled and killed quickly. So, focusing on late game champions in your team composition could be beneficial when playing against Xin Zhao.

Xin Zhao is extremely vulnerable when his ultimate R move is on cooldown. This is the ideal time to attack, but it's important to pay attention to the cooldown timer and make the most of this vulnerability.

Xin Zhao is not very effective against a group of champions. He's reliant on isolating targets, so sticking together with your team can be a strong strategy against him.

If Xin Zhao starts to get ahead, it's crucial not to panic. He's weaker in late game and is vulnerable when his ultimate R is on cooldown. Focus on surviving the early game, then leverage his weaknesses later in the match to defeat him.
