How to Beat Xin Zhao as Ivern (Jungle)

While statistically Ivern is slightly stronger than Xin Zhao in the jungle, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Ivern deals mixed damage - the opponent has fewer options for defense. Xin Zhao deals mainly physical damage (86.88%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Xin Zhao, ranking 37th (versus 53rd for Ivern) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.6 versus 3.7) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Ivern Jungle versus Xin Zhao Jungle matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Ivern player to maintain constant pressure on Xin Zhao, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Ivern tips:

  • Try to help allies follow up a good Rootcaller hit with Triggerseed!
  • Use Brushmaker to set up future ambush spots!
  • Daisy can block skillshots and slow down enemies. Use her to peel for your teammates!

Playing Against Xin Zhao

  • Xin Zhao is a powerful initiator with both his charge and ultimate dealing damage to all units around him. Try having your team stay spread out until he's used his ultimate.
  • Xin Zhao relies heavily on his Three Talon Strikes for damage and cooldown resets, so preventing him from finishing his combo will have a dramatic effect.
