How to Beat Xin Zhao as Vi (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, Vi deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. 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 52nd for Vi) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.6 versus 2.5) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Vi Jungle versus Xin Zhao Jungle matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Vi 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.

Vi tips:

  • A fully charged Vault Breaker will deal double damage. It's great for catching and finishing off fleeing enemies.
  • Relentless Force does full damage to anyone caught in the shockwave. Use it on minions in lane to hit enemies hiding behind them.
  • Cease and Desist is a powerful initiation tool, just remember not to get too far ahead of the rest of your team.

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.
