Who this champion beats in lane, and who beats it.Who counters Xin Zhao and who Xin Zhao beats
Xin Zhao is terrifying once he is on top of you, but everything he does is gated behind getting there. His only gap closer is Audacious Charge, a single short range dash, and after he uses it he has no escape, so if you survive his commit he is stuck in the fight with you. His range is short, his crowd control is the knockup on the third hit of Three Talon Strike plus the slow on his spear, and his ultimate only protects him from the target he challenges and from ranged attacks, not from melee bruisers who stand in his face. He also fades as the game goes long, trading his strong early skirmishing for less impact in the late game. To beat him, dodge or punish the dash, out sustain or out brawl the extended fight, or simply out scale his early window. When you pick Xin Zhao, you are betting you can reach your target and end the fight before they can answer.
