Xin Zhaoは独自のプレイスタイルを持つJungleチャンピオンだ。 これにより certain profiles に対して特に弱くなる。 逆に、profiles unable to exploit their weaknesses に対しては優位に立つ。
Graves is a hard counter to Xin Zhao because he denies the core of your kit: sticking to targets. Xin is a melee skirmisher who wins by chaining E + autos + Q knock-up in a short window, then continuing the chase. Graves plays range, disrupts your read with Smokescreen, and punishes straight-line approaches, turning your “simple engage” into an unwinnable pursuit.
In jungle pacing, he taxes your tempo: if your first move fails, he accelerates clear, secures scuttles, and forces you into bad trade-offs between ganking (losing camps) or farming (bleeding lanes). At objectives, his steady DPS and kite angles make 2v2/3v3 contests risky unless your lanes have priority.
Adjust pathing to attack through fog and short angles: behind-lane ganks, lane-to-lane collapses, or plays after clear information instead of walking through warded river. Key timing: fight around Smokescreen downtime or right after Graves uses dash aggressively. Decision: if you can’t realistically stick, stop chasing and convert cross-map (dragon/herald or opposite-side invade)—versus Graves, chasing is often how you lose the game.
Olaf is hard into Xin because he breaks your “go in, control, finish” script. Your Q knock-up and R isolation make fights clean. With Ragnarok, he removes the constraint: he keeps walking, out-DPSes you in extended melee, and forces long duels where your ability to stall is limited.
Early/mid, he can contest river entries without fear, and if you engage expecting to create advantage, you often hand him the frontal brawl he wants. Around objectives, he can run through the fight and reach backline while you’re busy “holding the line.”
Positioning: avoid the head-on duel and look for the useful target (carry with no escape, mid with flash down) rather than Olaf himself. Key timing: force fights when Ragnarok is down or after Olaf has already used it to survive an earlier exchange. Decision: if Olaf is ahead and the duel is lost, pivot to macro—take information, play the other side, and deny him the chain of 2v2/3v3s that let him snowball.
Rammus is hard for Xin Zhao because you trigger his best responses: you commit melee and your DPS is tied to repeated autos. He loves being hit, taunts you, reflects damage, and forces you to hit the wrong target while the real carry plays freely.
In river skirmishes, you can lose simply because your first seconds of DPS get absorbed and reflected back at you. At objectives, he can also force defensive cooldown usage, preventing you from threatening backline with your R afterward.
Pathing: avoid forcing contests if your team is full AD and can’t punish him—you’ll just burn yourself on the tank. Key timing: play after he has used Taunt on someone else or when he’s isolated with no follow-up. Decision: in fights, accept your job isn’t killing Rammus—you either create an angle onto carries, or protect your carry by isolating/denying the threat.
Lillia is hard into Xin because she punishes straight-line all-ins. You need stable contact to stick and finish; she stacks move speed, circles you, and turns your commit into a spinning target. Sleep is the button that flips your entry: you go in, think you’ve got her, and suddenly the fight stops… not in your favor.
In jungle flow, if you allow a calm midgame, she becomes extremely hard to touch in open rivers and around camps where she kites perfectly. At objectives, she can force clumps and punish with sleep + follow-up, making contests unstable.
Positioning: attack from fog with angles that reduce her kite space (chokes, controlled river, lane entry), not from wide open ground. Key timing: fight when sleep is down or after she uses it on a different front. Decision: if the chase turns into circles, stop—take the objective, punish a lane, or reset vision, because chasing Lillia in open space is often giving her exactly the game she wants.
Kindred is hard because she combines two things that hurt you: range and anti-execution. Xin wants to go in, force a short fight, and finish before it drags. Kindred can kite you, and when you think you’re closing, her ultimate removes your immediate win condition.
In jungle, mark pressure forces map decisions: if you let Kindred take marks for free, she scales and the matchup becomes even harder. At objectives, she can also turn contests into extended coinflips because her ult zone breaks smite timings and denies clean finishes.
Pathing: contest marks intelligently, not on ego—only with lane prio or a planned collapse. Key timing: force her ultimate early, then re-engage immediately after the zone ends, where Xin becomes lethal again. Decision: if Kindred holds R to protect her carry, switch targets—iso someone else, claim space control, and win the fight through position rather than execution.
Lee Sin is unfavorable because he can play faster early and has tools to break your engage. Xin is strong in honest 2v2s, but Lee makes fights dishonest: he pokes, displaces, then decides who actually dies with kick.
If Lee controls river, you end up chasing his moves: late counterganks, invades that steal your camps, and objectives you reach without vision. In teamfights, even if your entry is good, a clean kick can remove your target or push you away from your team, ruining your sustained DPS.
Pathing: avoid predictable routes and respect lane priority before contesting scuttle/river. Key timing: level 5 is a real swing—look for a clean R play as soon as you have it instead of stacking micro-fights earlier. Decision: if Lee is tempo-driving, answer with efficiency—take opposite camps, place a key ward, and force action on a lane with clear setup rather than playing his permanent river game.
Viego is unfavorable because he turns your brawl style into a liability. Xin likes extended melee fights where he sustains and controls space with R. Viego loves long fights: the longer it goes, the more likely he finds a reset—and one reset often flips the exchange.
In river 3v3s, if your team can’t finish quickly, Viego gets a soul and the script collapses: you thought you’d win attrition, and suddenly he returns with a fresh health bar and a different kit. At objectives, a messy first kill can grant him zone priority and push you off the pit.
Positioning: avoid entries that leave you alone in the middle—dying first is the easiest reset you can hand him. Key timing: engage only when you have a fast-fall target (flash down, no peel, key cooldown missing) to prevent the first reset. Decision: if the fight gets messy, swap roles—use R more as zoning/peel to protect your carry and deny Viego access to the first execution.
Kayn is unfavorable because he doesn’t play the same geometry as you. Xin likes simple trajectories: enter, stick, hold space. Kayn crosses walls, changes angles, and can avoid the core of your kit by playing in-and-out rather than frontal duels.
Midgame, you can waste time responding to his appearances: he ganks, vanishes, reappears through another wall, while you arrive one second late. Once form is online, he either bursts you (assassin) or out-sustains you (Rhaast), making fights harder unless you’ve already built an advantage.
Pathing: cut the map instead of following; ward his likely exits and make fast decisions on which side you play. Key timing: pre-form is your best window to two-man invade with lane prio or punish his resets. Decision: if his form comes early, accept trades—secure a guaranteed objective and avoid fog chases where he thrives, because chasing him is helping him.
Evelynn is unfavorable because she makes your map read unreliable. Xin gains a lot from initiative: you choose the fight and decide where the brawl starts. Evelynn forces incomplete information, which creates hesitation—and hesitation costs tempo.
Once she has camouflage, solo vision moves become dangerous: you can die or lose a carry instantly. Around objectives, she loves arriving after your engage, when your tools are already spent, then executing a backline with reduced protection.
Positioning: move with a partner to ward and avoid facechecks, especially in enemy jungle. Key timing: respect her level 5 and first item resets—this is when picks become consistent if the map is dark. Decision: without deep vision, don’t force the pit—setup first (prio + wards) or trade cross-map, because coinflipping into an invisible assassin is rarely worth it.
Jarvan IV is a skill matchup because you’re both tempo junglers who want to dictate fights. The difference is shape: Jarvan traps and clumps, Xin pushes out and creates a zone. If you time R correctly, you can break his entry; if you mistime, Cataclysm pins you and you lose access to the real target.
At objectives it often comes down to one second: who engages first, who has prio, and where the carries are when ultimates land. A Jarvan with a clean angle onto your ADC can force a fight you don’t want, while a well-positioned Xin can deny follow-up and flip the brawl.
Positioning: stand at a distance where you can counter-engage (R to eject) or follow a pick without being trapped in pit geometry. Key timing: wait for flag+dash commit or Cataclysm animation before pressing R—too early and you lose your response. Decision: if your carry is the win condition, play peel/zone; otherwise, look for picks onto flashless carries after Jarvan shows position.
Amumu is skill because he punishes clumped engages, but Xin doesn’t have to clump. You can win by controlling space and refusing to give a perfect AoE ult. This matchup is more about discipline than pure 1v1 power.
At objectives, Amumu wants you to enter a choke and have your team follow. If that happens, he presses R and the fight becomes hard. If you force isolated picks or a spread fight, Amumu loses value and becomes more predictable.
Positioning: create lateral offset before you engage so your backline isn’t inside the same AoE cone. Key timing: once he hits level 5, stop blind straight commits and prefer two-step setup (vision then engage). Decision: if he’s holding ult, don’t beg for it—either take the objective with prio or force a pick elsewhere, then return once his button is less threatening.
Nunu is skill because he doesn’t necessarily beat you in duels—he beats you in routes. Snowball creates very early threats, and if you don’t read his pathing, lanes can collapse before you ever get a clean action window.
Early minutes, your influence depends on counterganking: Xin is great if you arrive during the gank, much worse if you arrive after. At objectives, Nunu can also make contests stressful with his presence and secure patterns in chaos.
Pathing: strictly track his first exits and favor a route that keeps you near gankable lanes rather than a greedy full clear. Key timing: once you see Snowball used, you have a window to strike elsewhere before he repeats. Decision: if one lane becomes impossible to protect, pivot to the other side—take dragon/herald or snowball another lane, because living in constant reaction is exactly what Nunu wants.
Vi is a skill matchup because it’s a timing-and-angle war: you excel in frontal skirmishes, she excels in targeted picks. If you arrive first and force a clean brawl, Xin often has the edge. If Vi finds an ult angle onto your carry or onto you before you can zone, she imposes her script.
At objectives, it’s frequently a patience duel: step up too early and you become an ult target that gets removed from your zone; stand too far and you let Vi choose the target and engage on her terms. Early game, she can also punish Xin when his intentions are too visible.
Positioning: keep an angle to punish Vi after her commit rather than opening onto a low-priority target. Key timing: respect her level 5 and early ult cycles; once her R is down, you can force far more aggressive fights. Decision: if your team relies on a carry, your best answer is often peel—use R to eject her off the backline and turn her pick into a failed engage.
Master Yi is favorable for Xin Zhao because you’re one of the junglers who can punish him early without needing fancy combos. Yi wants to farm into critical mass; Xin wants to fight early and has enough damage/control to force Yi defensive before he becomes unmanageable.
Early, you can contest river and threaten his routes, especially with lane priority. At objectives, your R helps control space and reduces Yi’s ability to enter late for cleanup because you can push him out or deny clean access to the right target.
Pathing: apply early pressure to his “easy” lanes so he can’t full clear in peace, but don’t coinflip invades without prio. Key timing: play assertive before he has two items and before fights turn into chained resets. Decision: if Yi gets fed, simplify—front-to-back, zone with R, and accept that beating him often means denying carry access, not chasing him everywhere.
Shyvana is favorable for Xin when you play your identity: fight early, create skirmishes, and force the map to move before she stacks dragons. She prefers a stable game to accumulate value; you’re great at breaking that stability with fast brawls.
Early ganks and side-lane priority can remove her ability to take first dragon for free. At objectives, Xin is strong at entering the pit with team and holding space with R, especially before Shyvana reaches her scaling items.
Pathing: target a lane with setup to secure river prio before first dragon. Key timing: start objective setup 30–40 seconds early (vision + prio) instead of arriving late into a Shyvana already set up. Decision: if she commits to an objective and you lack prio, don’t coinflip—take the other side (herald/towers/camps) and return on a timing where you can force a clean fight.
Fiddlesticks is favorable if you play vision and tempo because he heavily depends on surprise angles. Xin can arrive early, establish wards, and claim river space, breaking Fiddle’s condition: ulting from darkness onto clumped targets.
Around objectives, if you arrive first and hold space, Fiddle is often forced into a low-quality entry or to back off. In skirmishes, he also hates being forced into melee without setup—if you find him before ult, he loses a lot of value.
Positioning: prioritize controlling bushes/vision pivots instead of chasing minor camp optimizations. Key timing: track his level 5 and recall timings—this is when he often looks for an ult play. Decision: if you lack information, don’t force the pit—secure vision, bait out ult, then return; versus Fiddle, patience and information beat blind engages.
Warwick is generally favorable because his plan is very frontal: he wants extended duels and to run at low targets. Xin can accept that plan better than many junglers, while still controlling space with R to deny Warwick access to the right target.
Early river, with lane prio, you can contest and punish greedy timings. At objectives, Warwick likes arriving for cleanup; if you hold zone and avoid split fights, he struggles to turn sustain into executions.
Pathing: don’t hand free isolated duels without lane prio, but don’t fear meeting him when you have nearby follow-up. Key timing: once his ultimate is down, you can play far more aggressively around river and objectives. Decision: if Warwick starts hunting your backline, your best play is often peel/zone—push him out and turn his all-in into an inefficient entry.

Xin Zhaoへのカウンターは、彼の最初のgankを避けるだけではありません。真の目的は、彼のエンゲージ、Q3、そしてそれに続くコンボの連携を断ち切ることです。もし彼がEでターゲットに到達し、ノックアップするのに十分な時間留まり、その後アルティメットで孤立させたり生き残ったりできれば、彼は望むような戦闘を展開できます。良いカウンターは、以下の3つの方法で彼を罰します：延長戦を制する、ターゲットに張り付かせない、またはクールダウンが切れた後に彼のエンゲージを逆手に取る。このページは、彼に勝てるチャンピオンの単純なリストとしてではなく、彼のタイミングを阻害する方法として読むべきです。
敵がXin Zhaoの選ぶ短期決戦を拒否したとき、彼ははるかに弱くなります。彼の序盤は強力ですが、特に敵レーンが優先権を持っている場合や、より耐久力のあるジャングラーがトレードを長引かせることができる場合、すでに準備されたゾーンに入るのを嫌います。彼のDPSを低下させたり、最初のバーストを防いだり、Q3を生き延びたりできるチャンピオンは、Xin Zhaoにアルティメットを防御的に使わせます。そこから、彼のチームはしばしば、戦闘を開始するために予定されていたインパクトポイントを失います。
Xin Zhaoは、最初の接触で即座に有利を作り出すことを望んでいます：速いダメージ、Q3、そしてゾーンをロックするためのアルティメット。その最初のシーケンスを吸収し、攻撃し続けるデュエリストは、トレードを完全に変えます。Jaxは彼の通常攻撃のタイミングをはるかに不快にさせることができ、Olafは簡単にコントロールされずに直接的な戦闘を受け入れ、Trundleは延長された近接戦闘を不利な消耗戦に変えます。このプロファイルは、Xin Zhaoに、本当に迅速に終えられるかどうかを問わせます。なぜなら、彼が長居しすぎると、彼のエンゲージは罠になるからです。
How the champion adapts. Xin Zhaoは、優先権のない孤立したデュエルを避け、カウンターギャンクや準備された目標の周りでより多くプレイすべきです。このタイプのチャンピオンに対しては、彼はすべての1v1に勝つことを証明するためではなく、数的有利を作り出すために序盤のゲームを使用する必要があります。
Xin Zhaoは、最初のインパクトを決める側になることを好みます。ゾーンをロックしたり、即座に対応したりできるフロントライナーは、そのエンゲージをはるかに危険なものにします。Rammusは彼の接触し続ける必要性を罰し、Viは彼の孤立の試みの一部を無視する直接的なターゲティングで対応でき、Jarvan IVは川での小競り合いを閉鎖されたゾーンに変えることができ、そこでXin Zhaoはもはや自由に退出を選ぶことはできません。このタイプのカウンターは、Xin Zhaoの主な快適さを奪うため機能します：突入し、攻撃し、その後継続するか後退するかを決定すること。
How the champion adapts. これらのチャンピオンがクラウドコントロールやエンゲージを見せるのを待ってから、完全にコミットすべきです。彼らのクールダウンを追跡せずに最初に突入すると、敵に完璧な開始点を与えるリスクがあります。
Xin Zhaoは、彼のjungleパスが自然に読みやすいアクションにつながるとき、非常に強力です：レベル3、オーバーエクステンドしたレーン、そして目標。テンポを変えたり、異なる方法で競合したり、彼に反応を強制したりできるジャングラーは、その計画を不安定にします。Lee Sinは彼の前に角度を作ったり、明白なエンゲージを罰したりでき、Gravesは同じ接触を受け入れずにスペースとDPSをプレイでき、WukongはXin Zhaoのアルティメットが常に全員をコントロールできるとは限らない集団戦を脅かし、RengarはXin Zhaoがまだ配置されていないサイドを攻撃できます。カウンターは単純なデュエルから来るのではなく、彼が最初の実際のプレイを決定するのを防ぐことから来ます。
How the champion adapts. 彼らのリズムに盲目的に従うのを避けるべきです。彼は明確な計画が必要です：脆弱なレーンをカバーする、カウンターgankをプレイする、またはすべての敵の動きを追いかけるのではなく、優先権を持って目標を強制する。
Jaxは、Xin Zhaoのパターンの中核である接触し続け、通常攻撃をデュエルプレッシャーに変換するという点に攻撃するため、理解すべき優先的なマッチアップです。Xin Zhaoが明確な有利なしにエンゲージした場合、Jaxはその最初のウィンドウを吸収し、Q3の報酬を減らし、その後戦闘が長引くにつれてトレードに勝つことができます。正しいアプローチは、エゴから1v1を求めるのではなく、Jaxに数的有利、目標、または味方のクラウドコントロールで準備されたギャンクに対応させることです。
Rammusは異なる問題を作り出します：彼は必ずしもスピードでXin Zhaoを打ち負かそうとするのではなく、彼のエンゲージの決定を罰することによってそうします。Xin ZhaoはQとConquerorから価値を得るためにターゲットに張り付く必要があるため、彼は非常に直接的な防御的対応にさらされます。このマッチアップでは、Xin Zhaoプレイヤーはエンゲージにずっと忍耐強く、最初に利用可能なターゲットを自動的に攻撃することを避ける必要があります。レーン、目標、そしてRammusのタイミングを中心にプレイする方が、正面からのデュエルを強制するよりも良いことが多いです。
遅いジャングラー相手よりも早くワードを置き、相手の通りそうなルートを予測して立ち回る必要がある。Xin Zhaoはレベル3から脅威となるため、川やトライブッシュの視界がない状態でオーバーエクステンドしたレーンは、自然なターゲットとなる。最も重要なのは、すでに接触されている場合にQ3の後まで逃走スキルを温存しないこと。その時点では、すでに目的を達成していることが多い。Eを使う前やWを空振らせる前に下がる方が、遅すぎるフラッシュよりも良い。
Xin Zhaoは、彼のエントリーがすぐに大きなアドバンテージを生み出すことを望んでいるからだ。もし彼がバーストダメージを吸収したり、DPSを低下させたり、長居を強要したりするターゲットにエンゲージした場合、彼はタイミングをコントロールできなくなる。アルティメットは戦闘の一部を押し出すことができるが、メインのターゲットが倒れなければすべてを解決するわけではない。タンクや耐久力の高いチャンピオンは、しばしば彼に、戦闘に勝つはずだったチャンスを作り出す代わりに、生き残るためにクールダウンを使わせる。
優先権と情報がある場合のみ。Xin Zhaoは、特に味方レーナーが来る前に相手レーナーが到着した場合、準備不足のインベードを覆すことができるタイプのジャングラーだ。彼が見えるという理由だけでインベードするのは不十分。彼のクールダウン、どのレーンが動けるか、そして戦闘が短期か長期になるかを知る必要がある。これらの条件なしでは、彼を追跡し、彼が攻撃したいレーンを守り、そして最初のgankが何も生み出さなかった時に彼を罰する方が良いことが多い。
戦闘開始時に孤立したターゲットを与えないようにする必要がある。Xin ZhaoがキャリーにEで飛び込み、Q3を確定させ、アルティメットを使ってチームの残りを押し出すことができれば、彼はまさに望むシナリオを作り出す。最善の対応は、彼を重要度の低いターゲットにエンゲージさせ、最初のダッシュ後にディスエンゲージを維持し、アルティメットやQ3がゾーンをコントロールできなくなった時に再エンゲージすることだ。忍耐と距離感は、無秩序なバーストよりも価値がある。
