Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose most trades due to Xerath's superior poke range and Jhin's burst potential when you engage.
- Post-6 the matchup becomes more even as your R provides strong engage potential, but Xerath's R gives him disengage options.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q hooks when Xerath steps forward to poke or when Jhin is reloading and positioned aggressively.
- Follow up immediately with E to flay them back into your ADC's range for maximum damage output.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently after level 6 when you have R available for ganks.
- Optimal timings are when your ADC has backed and the wave is pushing toward your tower, or when enemies recall.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions when enemies are in range to punish - Xerath will immediately punish with Q-W combo.
- Avoid walking too far forward without minions as cover since both enemies outrange you significantly.
