View detailed statistics below: items, runes, and counter builds for Rengar Jungle vs Xin Zhao Jungle in patch 15.18 (25.18), including win rates and pick rates. With proper study, this can improve your chances of victory up to 57.8% in this matchup.

Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 3.4% popularity, Rengar constantly encounters meta-dominant Xin Zhao (12.6%, 1st place out of 60 Jungle champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Rengar performance in the current patch. Challenging situation: Rengar's weak 47.9% overall win rate compounds with this difficult matchup, creating serious obstacles for climbing. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Conqueror + Triumph combination (50.3% win rate) plus optimal itemization Hubris, Profane Hydra, Lord Dominik's Regards, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 47.2% to 57.8% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Rengar's superior farming (6.98 vs 5.52/min, 8th among Jungle) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 1.46 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Rengar outputs more damage (703 vs 644/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Xin Zhao: leads in both matchup win rate (52.9%) and KDA (2.40 vs 2.30, 45th vs 53rd place). Rengar players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Xin Zhao as Rengar (Jungle)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Rengar deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Xin Zhao deals mainly physical damage (86.39%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Rengar is higher farming statistics (ranked 8th among role champions) (versus 49th for Xin Zhao), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.4 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Rengar Jungle versus Xin Zhao Jungle matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Rengar player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Xin Zhao player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Rengar tips:

  • Use Rengar's ultimate to find and assassinate high priority targets in team fights and skirmishes.
  • A lot of Rengar's power comes from empowered abilities he uses at the right moment - choose wisely!
  • Make sure to take paths through brush when chasing opponents to take advantage of Rengar's passive.

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.
