Guía de counters de Xin Zhao Wild Rift

Xin Zhao es fuertemente contrarrestado por composiciones de kite o de disengage que lo mantienen a raya y anulan su ultimate de dispersión. Los campeones con invulnerabilidad o dashes que salen de su zona lo dejan impotente. Su dependencia de acceder a los carries hace que su impacto sea bajo contra composiciones agrupadas.

Contras Difíciles

2

Estos campeones tienen una build y un estilo de juego que superan directamente al tuyo, lo que puede hacer que controlar la línea y farmear sea extremadamente difícil. Sus habilidades pueden neutralizar tus principales fortalezas o castigarte en cuanto intentas jugar tu plan habitual. En estos matchups, el objetivo suele ser minimizar errores y buscar soluciones fuera del enfrentamiento directo.

Rammus

Rammus+2

duelingpunish auto attacks Rammus directly counters your aggressive skirmishing because of his massive armor scaling. When you engage with Audacious Charge, you are baited into using Three Talon Strike. To get the vital knock-up, you must land three consecutive strikes, which forces you to repeatedly auto-attack him. This triggers his Defensive Ball Curl, reflecting massive damage back at you while his Rolling Armordillo passive turns his armor into lethal offensive power. Ver detalles

Por qué

Rammus directly counters your aggressive skirmishing because of his massive armor scaling. When you engage with Audacious Charge, you are baited into using Three Talon Strike. To get the vital knock-up, you must land three consecutive strikes, which forces you to repeatedly auto-attack him. This triggers his Defensive Ball Curl, reflecting massive damage back at you while his Rolling Armordillo passive turns his armor into lethal offensive power.

Impacto en la línea

In the jungle, this matchup restricts your early-game dominance. If you meet Rammus in the river, you cannot duel him safely; any 1v1 trade leaves you too low to contest Scuttle Crabs. During ganks, if he counter-ganks with Powerball and Soaring Slam, he can easily lock you down under Frenzying Taunt. You lose your natural priority, forcing your laners to play defensively as your map pressure evaporates.

Cómo jugar

To survive, you must play strictly around his cooldown windows. Never initiate with Audacious Charge if his curl is ready. Instead, use the long-range sweep of Wind Becomes Lightning to slow him and keep your distance. If he rolls at you with Powerball, use Crescent Guard to knock him back before he impacts. If caught, hold your Three Talon Strike and stop auto-attacking entirely until his Defensive Ball Curl expires, even if it delays your knock-up.

Poppy

Poppy+2

hard counterpeel threat The jungle matchup hinges entirely on how Poppy's dash-blocking barrier neutralizes your primary gap-closer. When you attempt to close the distance on an enemy marked by Wind Becomes Lightning, Poppy can activate her zone to instantly interrupt Audacious Charge. This interruption knocks you down, leaving you stranded, unable to reach your target to unleash Three Talon Strike or benefit from Determination healing. Ver detalles

This interruption knocks you down, leaving you stranded, unable to reach your target to unleash Three Talon Strike or benefit from Determination healing.

Impacto en la línea

This interaction severely cripples your early skirmishing and ganking pressure. If Poppy counter-ganks, she renders your engage useless, leaving your targets completely safe. You lose the ability to contest Scuttle Crabs or secure early objectives because she can zone you away from the pit. This forces you into a passive farming style, giving her team free reign over the map lanes while you fall behind in pressure.

Cómo jugar

To survive this matchup, you must alter your skirmish approach. Never lead with Audacious Charge. Instead, walk directly into melee range to strike with Three Talon Strike, forcing Poppy to decide whether to activate her barrier prematurely. Use Wind Becomes Lightning purely for its slow to help you close the gap on foot. If forced into a teamfight, use Crescent Guard to knock her away before attempting to charge her allies.

When you activate Three Talon Strike, Jax can negate all three enhanced basic attacks, completely denying your third-strike knockup and healing from Determination.

Since your physical DPS and crowd control are tied to these auto-attacks, Jax easily wins any direct face-to-face clash by simply holding his defensive stance.

Impacto en la línea

This interaction limits your early-game freedom, forcing you to concede contested Scuttle Crabs or direct 1v1 fights in the river. If you attempt to invade or contest neutral camps blindly, Jax can force a duel, absorb your Audacious Charge burst, and stun you. This concession slows down your early map pressure, giving Jax a safe route to scale into a split-pushing threat.

Cómo jugar

To survive and win these skirmishes, you must bait out Counter Strike before committing your main cooldowns. Start the fight with Wind Becomes Lightning to slow him from a distance, forcing him to jump with Leap Strike or activate his evasion early. Walk away or use Crescent Guard to knock him back if he engages. Only trigger Audacious Charge and Three Talon Strike once his defensive spin goes on cooldown, ensuring your knockup connects.

Warwick

Warwick+1

skirmishsustain Direct duels in the jungle favor Warwick because of how his defensive tools disrupt your main combo. When you engage, he can activate Primal Howl to absorb the damage from your Three Talon Strike. The subsequent fear effect interrupts your third strike before you can trigger the knockup, meaning you cannot stop his healing. Without your crowd control, his low-health healing from Eternal Hunger easily outlasts your own Determination healing in a prolonged fight. Ver detalles

Without your crowd control, his low-health healing from Eternal Hunger easily outlasts your own Determination healing in a prolonged fight.

Impacto en la línea

This dynamic strips away your usual early-game dominance, forcing you to concede contested Scuttle Crabs or direct river skirmishes. If you attempt to invade or fight him at level three, you risk giving up first blood, which accelerates his Blood Hunt map pressure. Consequently, you will find yourself unable to match his early objective pressure, forcing you to play defensively and rely on your laners to rotate during skirmishes.

Cómo jugar

To survive, you must bait out Primal Howl before committing your main damage. Start trades with Wind Becomes Lightning from a distance to slow him, forcing him to walk up. If he activates his damage reduction, disengage immediately and wait for the howl to expire. Save Crescent Guard to knock him away if he locks you down with Infinite Duress or clings to you with Jaws of the Beast, allowing you to reset the fight on your own terms.

Por qué

Nilah controls this jungle matchup because her Jubilant Veil directly counters your primary offensive tool. When she activates this shroud, it completely blocks the auto-attacks from your Three Talon Strike, preventing you from landing the crucial third strike that triggers your knockup. Without this crowd control, you cannot guarantee your damage output, and you lose the sustained healing provided by your Determination.

Impacto en la línea

In early river skirmishes or jungle invasions, you cannot afford to take straightforward duels. Engaging with Audacious Charge while her defensive tool is ready allows her to negate your burst, turning the fight around with Formless Blade and Slipstream. This forces you to play defensively around Scuttle Crabs, giving up early map priority and delaying your transition into successful ganks.

Cómo jugar

To win these skirmishes, bait her defenses before committing your main damage. Start the encounter by slowing her with Wind Becomes Lightning from a distance. If she activates Jubilant Veil, immediately back away and wait out the duration. Only activate Three Talon Strike once her dodge zone expires. Save your Audacious Charge to follow her Slipstream dash, and use Crescent Guard to push her away if she attempts to recover health using Apotheosis.

Skarner

Skarner+1

peel threatutility clash This matchup swings heavily in Skarner's favor due to how his ultimate nullifies your primary defense. While you rely on Crescent Guard to block incoming ranged damage during skirmishes, Skarner can bypass this entire zone by using Impale. He suppresses you, completely ignoring your displacement immunity, and drags you directly out of your protective circle. This leaves you totally exposed to his team's focus fire while disabling your damage output. Ver detalles

While you rely on Crescent Guard to block incoming ranged damage during skirmishes, Skarner can bypass this entire zone by using Impale. He suppresses you, completely ignoring your displacement immunity, and drags you directly out of your protective circle. This leaves you totally exposed to his team's focus fire while disabling your damage output.

Impacto en la línea

In the jungle, Skarner scales much better into teamfights, forcing you to seek early skirmishes before he gets too tanky. However, contesting neutral objectives becomes highly risky. If you initiate with Audacious Charge, he can easily counter-engage with Ixtal's Impact to pin you to a wall. This defensive pressure forces your laners to play passively, as you cannot safely guarantee front-line priority or secure easy drakes.

Cómo jugar

To survive teamfights, you must change your entry angle and play defensively. Never be the primary initiator. Wait for Skarner to waste Impale on a tanky ally, or bait out his Ixtal's Impact before committing. Use Wind Becomes Lightning from a distance to poke and slow him down. If he advances to grab you, use Three Talon Strike to knock him up quickly, interrupting his positioning before he can pull you away from your team.

Gragas

Gragas+1

counter engageskirmish Gragas completely neutralizes your offensive pressure because his Body Slam can interrupt Audacious Charge mid-air. Since your engage is stopped cold, you cannot stick to him to land the third hit of Three Talon Strike for the knockup. This allows Gragas to disengage at will or turn the fight with Drunken Rage while you are stranded without your primary gap-closer. Ver detalles
Gragas

Por qué

Gragas completely neutralizes your offensive pressure because his Body Slam can interrupt Audacious Charge mid-air. Since your engage is stopped cold, you cannot stick to him to land the third hit of Three Talon Strike for the knockup. This allows Gragas to disengage at will or turn the fight with Drunken Rage while you are stranded without your primary gap-closer.

Impacto en la línea

In river skirmishes and jungle duels, Gragas dictates the pace. If you try to force an encounter, his Body Slam denies your burst, and he can easily zone you away from neutral monsters with Barrel Roll. This makes securing Scuttle Crabs highly risky, as he can constantly disrupt your Determination healing cycles, forcing you to concede early river priority or risk being counter-ganked while your skills are on cooldown.

Cómo jugar

To win these jungle duels, never initiate with Audacious Charge. Instead, walk up to Gragas or slow him first using Wind Becomes Lightning, forcing him to make the first move. If he panics and uses Body Slam offensively or to escape, that is your cue to immediately follow up with Audacious Charge to stick to him and trigger Three Talon Strike. If he holds his displacement, use Crescent Guard to isolate him from his team before he can scatter yours with Explosive Cask.

This block not only absorbs your knock-up but triggers her shield and counter-damage, swinging what should be a winning duel directly into her favor.

Impacto en la línea

Because of this interaction, contesting Scuttle Crabs or invading her jungle becomes a high-stakes guessing game. If you engage blindly with Audacious Charge, she can easily kite with Drakehound's Step and wait for your third strike to deploy Repudiation. A failed duel means giving her Public Execution resets later, which completely destroys your team's skirmish pressure around the early neutral objectives.

Cómo jugar

To win these duels, you must bait out her shield before committing your knock-up. Strike her twice with Three Talon Strike, then deliberately pause your basic attacks or use Wind Becomes Lightning to slow her down and force her to panic-cast Repudiation. If she holds it, use Audacious Charge to stay glued to her during Drakehound's Step dashes, saving your final knock-up punch until her glowing shield visual effect fades.

However, if he survives this initial onslaught, his passive Hemorrhage begins to stack up, turning the tide as his damage escalates. You must burst him down or disable him before he reaches five stacks and gains massive power.

Impacto en la línea

In the river and jungle corridors, every encounter is highly volatile. If you meet Darius near the Scuttle Crab, the skirmish is decided instantly by who initiates. Initiating with Wind Becomes Lightning to slow him allows you to control the engagement distance, but if Darius pulls you in with Apprehend first, you are forced into an extended fight where his Noxian Guillotine will execute you easily, giving up early map priority.

Cómo jugar

To win these skirmishes, you must play around his healing. When Darius winds up Decimate, use Audacious Charge immediately to dash inside the inner handle of his axe, minimizing his damage and denying his heal. If he manages to stack Hemorrhage to four, activate Crescent Guard to knock him back and disengage. Never commit to a duel if your Three Talon Strike is on cooldown, as you lack the crowd control to interrupt his stacking.

If he baits your crowd control into his decoy, his Stone Skin armor bonus allows him to easily turn the duel around.

Impacto en la línea

Early scuttle crab fights and jungle invades are incredibly tense because neither of you can force an easy win. If you overcommit with Audacious Charge before he deploys his clone, you risk getting trapped in his Cyclone while your main displacement is on cooldown. This stalemate delays your early map pressure, as a single misstep in these duels hands over total river control and neutral objective priority to the surviving jungler.

Cómo jugar

To win these duels, never rush your combos. Start the fight with Wind Becomes Lightning from a distance to slow him down, forcing Wukong to make the first move. When you engage with Audacious Charge, activate Three Talon Strike but delay your third auto-attack slightly. If he panics and uses Warrior Trickster, switch your target or walk away briefly to let the clone expire, then unleash your knock-up on the real, reappearing monkey.

In the jungle, this interaction strips Jarvan IV of his early skirmishing pressure. He cannot safely contest scuttle crabs or neutral objectives because if he commits his Demacian Standard and Dragon Strike combo to engage, he is locked into a melee brawl he cannot win. Your superior sustained healing from Determination ensures you exit early skirmishes with higher health, forcing him to concede river control and play defensively.

Cómo jugar

To execute this perfectly, never use Crescent Guard prematurely. Hold your ultimate specifically for the moment Jarvan IV lands his Cataclysm on your team. Once the arena forms, immediately activate your ultimate to block the incoming barrage from his backline. Focus him down with Three Talon Strike to knock him up inside his own walls, and use Audacious Charge to stick to him if he tries to escape with Golden Aegis.

Since Kayn cannot easily stack his passive, The Darkin Scythe, against a champion who constantly knocks him up, he is forced to concede early map pressure.

Impacto en la línea

This interaction completely shifts the jungle pressure in your favor during the opening minutes. Kayn cannot contest the Rift Scuttlers or fight you at your camps, often forcing him to use Shadow Step defensively to escape through walls rather than finding creative gank angles. Because he is starved of early skirmishes, his transformation via The Darkin Scythe is heavily delayed, relieving immense pressure from your laners.

Cómo jugar

Actively invade Kayn's jungle during his first clear to force a fight. Do not initiate with Audacious Charge; walk up to him, trigger Three Talon Strike to interrupt his Reaping Slash, and save Audacious Charge to follow him when he tries to escape through a wall with Shadow Step. If he manages to infect you with Umbral Trespass, prepare to cast Crescent Guard immediately upon his exit to knock away his allies and secure the kill.

The third strike of Three Talon Strike provides a reliable knockup that immediately interrupts his channel, leaving him incredibly squishy and defenseless. Combined with the passive healing from Determination, you easily win any isolated 1v1 before he can even think about escaping.

Impacto en la línea

Because you dominate the 1v1, you can aggressively invade Fiddlesticks' jungle camps starting from level two. He cannot contest the Scuttle Crabs or defend his own raptor camp if you catch him clearing. This forces him to play incredibly defensively, delaying his level five power spike and neutralizing the threat of an early game-changing Crowstorm jump from the fog of war.

Cómo jugar

When invading, do not immediately blow Three Talon Strike. Instead, initiate with Audacious Charge and basic attacks, holding your knockup specifically to cancel Bountiful Harvest the moment he starts channeling it. Position yourself near bushes to drop vision of his A Harmless Scarecrow effigies, and keep your red ward active. If he manages to fear you with Terrify and runs, use Wind Becomes Lightning to slow him down and close the gap again.

Once on top of her, the rapid knock-up from Three Talon Strike disrupts her movement pattern and cancels her escape attempts before she can build momentum or land Watch Out! Eep!.

Impacto en la línea

This matchup dynamic grants you massive early-game agency in the jungle. Lillia cannot safely contest scuttle crabs or defend her own camps if you decide to invade. Your threat of an all-in forces her to concede territory, meaning you can easily secure early neutral objectives. If she tries to fight for priority, a quick Audacious Charge combo will force her out of the river or secure a first blood.

Cómo jugar

When hunting Lillia, position yourself in brush near her jungle camps to ambush her before she stacks her passive. Avoid engaging when she already has maximum movement speed. Hold Wind Becomes Lightning to slow her down if she tries to roll away with Swirlseed. If she attempts to cast Watch Out! Eep!, use Audacious Charge to dash behind her or reposition out of the high-damage epicenter, ensuring you win the trade cleanly.

Cómo jugar

When contesting camps, track Viego's charge animation on Spectral Maw. Do not panic-cast your ultimate; wait for him to commit his dash, then instantly deploy Crescent Guard to push him away. Once his stun is wasted, immediately counter-engage using Audacious Charge followed by Wind Becomes Lightning to slow him, then execute your Three Talon Strike knock-up to finish him off before he can escape back into Harrowed Path.

This interaction completely shifts the jungle tempo in your favor. Knowing you can negate her Flame Breath poke allows you to aggressively invade her camps early. Shyvana is forced to play defensively, delaying her Fury of the Dragonborn stacking process. You will secure double Scuttle Crabs easily, establishing early vision control and forcing her to concede neutral objectives or risk dying in her own jungle.

Cómo jugar

When contesting camps, do not rush your ultimate. Wait for Shyvana to activate Burnout and attempt to space you with Flame Breath. Once she starts her cast animation from a distance, immediately drop Crescent Guard to vaporize the projectile. Follow up instantly with Audacious Charge and Three Talon Strike to knock her up before she can stack her Fury of the Dragonborn on nearby monsters.

Since he cannot safely proc Z-Drive Resonance while your ultimate is ready, Ekko must rely on Phase Dive defensively rather than using it to invade. This allows you to invade his camps aggressively, secure double scuttle crabs, and apply immense pressure on his lanes while he falls behind.

Cómo jugar

To execute this flawlessly, do not initiate with Crescent Guard. Instead, wait for Ekko to commit with Phase Dive and launch Timewinder. The moment he does, activate Crescent Guard and use Audacious Charge to stick to him inside your arena, forcing him to fight in close quarters where Three Talon Strike will knock him up. If he tries to escape or turn the fight with Chronobreak, track his echo to avoid his ultimate's massive burst.

Por qué

Twitch relies on Spray and Pray to shred from a safe distance, but Crescent Guard creates an impenetrable barrier that nullifies his ultimate's piercing bolts entirely. To deal any damage, Twitch is forced to break his ranged safety and step inside your defensive circle. This puts him directly in range of your Audacious Charge and Three Talon Strike knockup, completely neutralizing his ultimate's massive range advantage.

Impacto en la línea

This dynamic completely shuts down Twitch's flanking threat. Even if he uses Ambush to catch you off guard, your reactive ultimate shuts down his burst. In river skirmishes, this range denial prevents him from melting your team from the backline, severely limiting his objective pressure. He cannot contest scuttles or neutral objectives without risking a direct, lethal engage from you the moment he opens fire.

Cómo jugar

Never initiate fights with Audacious Charge unless Twitch is already isolated. Instead, walk up or wait for him to reveal himself. The moment he activates Spray and Pray, immediately deploy Crescent Guard. Force him to waste his ultimate duration or walk into your melee range. Once he crosses the threshold, slow him with Wind Becomes Lightning, then execute your Audacious Charge and Three Talon Strike combo to quickly crush him before he can escape.

Cómo contrarrestar a este campeón

Ángulo de contra

Hacer counter a Xin Zhao no consiste solo en evitar su primer gank. El objetivo real es romper el vínculo entre su entrada, su Q3 y la conversión que sigue. Si llega al objetivo con la E, se mantiene el tiempo suficiente para levantar por los aires y luego usa su ultimate para aislar o sobrevivir, consigue el tipo de pelea que quiere. Los buenos counters lo castigan de tres formas: ganan el duelo extendido, evitan que se pegue al objetivo o vuelven su engage en su contra una vez gastados sus cooldowns. Esta página debe leerse como diferentes formas de denegar su timing, no como una simple lista de campeones que le ganan.

Contexto del parche

Xin Zhao se vuelve mucho menos opresivo cuando el enemigo rechaza las peleas cortas que él mismo elige. Su early es fuerte, pero no le gusta entrar en una zona ya preparada, especialmente si las líneas enemigas tienen prioridad o si un jungler más duradero puede prolongar el trade. Los campeones capaces de reducir su DPS, bloquear su burst inicial o sobrevivir a su Q3 obligan a Xin Zhao a usar su ultimate de forma defensiva. A partir de ahí, su equipo a menudo pierde el punto de impacto que se suponía que abriría la pelea.

Lectura rápida

  • El mejor counterplay es hacer que entre demasiado pronto: una vez gastadas la E y la W, Xin Zhao tiene mucho menos control sobre lo que sucede a continuación.
  • Los duelistas resistentes y los campeones que reducen su DPS rompen su plan, porque necesita ganar rápido o crear un aislamiento útil.
  • La visión profunda es esencial: si Xin Zhao pierde el factor sorpresa, sus ganks se vuelven mucho más fáciles de predecir y castigar.

Arquetipos de contra

Duelistas que sobreviven al contacto prolongado

Xin Zhao quiere que su primer contacto cree una ventaja inmediata: daño rápido, Q3 y luego ultimate para bloquear la zona. Los duelistas que absorben esa primera secuencia y siguen golpeando cambian por completo el trade. Jax puede hacer que el timing de sus auto-attacks sea mucho menos cómodo, Olaf acepta peleas directas sin ser controlado fácilmente, y Volibear convierte el cuerpo a cuerpo prolongado en una guerra de desgaste desfavorable. Este perfil obliga a Xin Zhao a preguntarse si realmente puede terminar rápido, porque si se queda demasiado tiempo, su engage se convierte en una trampa.

Cómo se adapta el campeón. Xin Zhao debe evitar duelos aislados sin prioridad y jugar más en torno a counter-ganks o objetivos preparados. Contra este tipo de campeones, debe usar su early game para crear ventaja numérica, no para demostrar que gana cada 1v1.

Frontliners que vuelven su engage en su contra

A Xin Zhao le gusta ser quien decide el primer impacto. Los frontliners que pueden bloquear la zona o responder de inmediato hacen que esa entrada sea mucho más arriesgada. Rammus castiga su necesidad de mantenerse en contacto, Vi puede responder con un targeteo directo que ignora parte de su intento de aislamiento, y Jarvan IV puede convertir una escaramuza en el río en una zona cerrada donde Xin Zhao ya no elige libremente su salida. Este tipo de counter funciona porque elimina la principal comodidad de Xin Zhao: entrar, golpear y luego decidir si continuar o retroceder.

Cómo se adapta el campeón. Debe esperar a que estos campeones muestren su crowd control o engage antes de comprometerse por completo. Si entra primero sin rastrear sus cooldowns, corre el riesgo de dar al enemigo el punto de partida perfecto.

Junglers que rompen su tempo o acceso

Xin Zhao es muy fuerte cuando su ruta de jungla lo lleva de forma natural a una acción predecible: nivel 3, lane pusheada y luego objetivo. Los junglers que pueden cambiar el tempo, disputar de manera diferente o forzarlo a reaccionar hacen que ese plan sea menos estable. Lee Sin puede crear ángulos antes que él o castigar entradas obvias, Graves puede jugar con el espacio y el DPS sin aceptar el mismo contacto, Wukong amenaza en peleas agrupadas donde la ultimate de Xin Zhao no siempre controla a todos, y Rengar puede atacar los lados donde Xin Zhao aún no está posicionado. El counter proviene menos de un simple duelo y más de evitar que dicte la primera jugada real.

Cómo se adapta el campeón. Xin Zhao debe evitar seguir ciegamente su ritmo. Necesita un plan claro: cubrir una lane vulnerable, jugar el counter-gank o forzar un objetivo con prioridad en lugar de perseguir cada movimiento enemigo.

Emparejamientos prioritarios

Jax

Jax es un matchup prioritario a entender porque ataca el núcleo del patrón de Xin Zhao: mantenerse en contacto y convertir los auto-attacks en presión de duelo. Si Xin Zhao hace engage sin una ventaja clara, Jax puede absorber la primera ventana, hacer que la Q3 sea menos rentable y luego ganar el trade a medida que la pelea se prolonga. El enfoque correcto no es buscar el 1v1 por ego, sino obligar a Jax a responder a la ventaja numérica, los objetivos o los ganks preparados con crowd control aliado.

Rammus

Rammus crea un problema diferente: no intenta necesariamente vencer a Xin Zhao mediante velocidad, sino castigando su decisión de entrar. Debido a que Xin Zhao debe pegarse a su objetivo para obtener valor de su Q y Conqueror, se expone a una respuesta defensiva muy directa. En este matchup, el jugador de Xin Zhao debe ser mucho más paciente con el engage y evitar golpear automáticamente al primer objetivo disponible. A menudo es mejor jugar en torno a las lanes, los objetivos y el timing de Rammus en lugar de forzar un duelo frontal.

Errores comunes en su contra

Errores comunes en su contra

  • Darle un duelo en el río sin prioridad de lane, para luego darse cuenta demasiado tarde de que su nivel 3 gana el contacto corto.
  • Mantener la visión de forma demasiado defensiva: si a Xin Zhao solo se le ve cuando entra en la lane, ya ha encontrado su ángulo.
  • Agruparse en un cuello de botella sin respetar su ultimate, cuando él puede dividir la respuesta y dejar que su equipo termine con un objetivo.
  • Intentar hacerle burst sin suficiente anti-heal o crowd control, permitiéndole luego mantenerse en contacto con Conqueror, Triumph y Death’s Dance.
  • Usar todas las herramientas de disengage antes de su E: Xin Zhao a menudo espera hasta que el objetivo no tenga respuesta para asegurar su Q3.

Notas del coach

  • Contra Xin Zhao, lo más importante es no darle la primera pelea que quiere. Si tiene que dudar antes de usar la E, ya has reducido una gran parte de su amenaza.
  • No juzgues el matchup solo a través del 1v1. Xin Zhao a menudo gana porque su entrada crea una jugada sencilla para su equipo, no porque venza a todos solo.

FAQ

¿Cómo evitar los ganks tempranos de Xin Zhao?

Necesitas colocar wards antes que contra un jungler lento, y luego jugar en torno a su ruta probable. Xin Zhao amenaza fuertemente desde el nivel 3, por lo que una lane pusheada sin visión en el río o el arbusto de la línea se convierte en un objetivo natural. Lo más importante es no guardar tu escape para después de la Q3 si ya está en contacto: en ese punto, a menudo ya ha logrado lo que quería. Retroceder antes de su E o hacer que falle su W es mejor que usar Flash demasiado tarde.

¿Por qué algunos campeones tanky molestan tanto a Xin Zhao?

Porque Xin Zhao quiere que su entrada cree una ventaja real rápidamente. Si hace engage a un objetivo que absorbe su burst, reduce su DPS o lo obliga a quedarse demasiado tiempo, pierde el control del timing. Su ultimate puede empujar a parte de la pelea, pero no lo resuelve todo si el objetivo principal no cae. Los campeones tanky o resistentes a menudo lo obligan a usar cooldowns para sobrevivir en lugar de crear la apertura que se suponía que ganaría la pelea.

¿Deberías invadir a Xin Zhao en early?

Solo con prioridad e información. Xin Zhao es exactamente el tipo de jungler que puede dar la vuelta a un invade mal preparado, especialmente si sus lanes llegan antes que las tuyas. Hacerle invade solo porque es visible no es suficiente: necesitas conocer sus cooldowns, qué lanes pueden moverse y si la pelea será corta o extendida. Sin esas condiciones, a menudo es mejor hacerle track, proteger la lane que quiere atacar y luego castigarlo cuando su primer gank no dé nada.

¿Cómo se juega una teamfight contra Xin Zhao?

Debes evitar darle un objetivo aislado al comienzo de la pelea. Si Xin Zhao puede usar su E sobre un carry, asegurar la Q3 y usar su ultimate para empujar al resto del equipo, crea exactamente el escenario que quiere. La mejor respuesta es obligarlo a entrar sobre un objetivo menos importante, mantener el disengage después de su primer dash y luego hacer re-engage cuando su ultimate o su Q3 ya no controlen la zona. La paciencia y el spacing valen más que un burst desordenado.
