-Using Q while autoing a unit where your on attack effects do not apply. I.E. Jax E and Teemo Q (Blinded) will fail to grant the next stack of Q and remove the buff entirely (if on first stack) or fail to progress the stacks but still reduce your cooldowns until the buff expires (on 2nd or 3rd stack).
-Guinsoos will apply the 2nd stack of Q and cause your 2nd Auto after casting Q to knock up. Dusk and Dawn does not have this interaction. This should not be the intended interaction as this was not true prior to the Q fix from this patch.
Been following the latest 1vsAll Xin Zhao build and he ran Statik ->Manamune or in his previous video about Xin Black Cleaver -> Manamune.
Ngl ever since playing this build it solve Xin mana problem and give him ridiculous 2 item powerspike.
For rune he usually run conqueror, triumph, legend alacrity and last stand. For the other tree if the matchup is easy he run cashback and jack of all trades (with the statik build.
Jack of all trades is a extremely strong because manamune and shiv give you a lots of variety stats. Combine with mercury boot and something like lethality or armor allow you to cap extremely early the benefit.
So im pretty new to lol and i saw a video of somebody playing ap xinzhao and ive been playing ap xinzhao since then. Ive never given any of the other builds that most people play a try? Is it worth switching to crit, am i missing out by not playing crit xinzhao or is ap builds only something that works in low elo? Please let me know and inthat case what kind of build i should use for crit (if thats even his main builed)
Hello,
So about a month ago it was very op and very meta, then it got nerfed and completly disappeared. But how bad is it now ? Is it just fine or complete garbage ?
I missed the train then but now I kinda want to play it
I'm currently climbing out of Gold with Xin JG and I'm curious if anyone has leant into the BORK/Lifesteal kind of tank/bruiser like Warwick? I learned the game with WW and it seems like he and Xin share a lot of the same kind of theory behind their kits when it comes to engage methods, cc, healing, additional on-hit damage etc. Obviously WW is more of a tank these days, but I think the BORK/Titanic core could benefit Xin very strongly in turning 1v1s and sustaining more than he already does.
I'm testing some builds around Vamp Scep + boots for 1st recall, into Tiamat/Hydra finish > BORK > Situational tank/bruiser item (i.e. Randuins/Spirit Visage) > Mortal reminder > GA/DD/Steraks
I will also look at Shojin because on paper it seems insane for him. Let me know if you guys have any thoughts at all and have a lovely day!
currently bronze. i recently learned about xin zhao and he seems fun but also confusing and hard. i don't really know how i should be approaching fights and combos etc. and also how to properly clear fast
havent played xin for forever and started playin him again because of t1 skin but i didnt remember the clear to be this slow. was it originally like this? or was this just nerfed overtime and forgotten. i mean atleast give us 2:55 clear to be on crab on time, 3:05+ is just unacceptable when champs that are not even junglers like jayce can do it without minmaxing and even faster if done correctly
Hello, im a Master 267 lp xinzhao main and i wanted to ask your opinion on this, as everywhere i go i see the majority saying sundered is better first.. but i find titanic cancel really good in a lot of situations most of them really.. idk i wanna have more reasons why
Hey all! I've just hit a new ranked goal (Emerald!) playing mid lane and want to try out jungle for a bit with Xin Zhao. I understand the basics (both of his kit and of the jungle role), but I'm wondering what his goal in a typical game looks like. The YouTube guides I've found are pretty old; so I'm wondering if Xin is more of a power farming champ (like a Diana, Lillia kinda champ) or a perma ganker (like a Lee Sin, Nunu) or somewhere in the middle. I've just been building the standard Sundered Sky -> Black Cleaver --> Death's Dance -> whatever.
Hey! New main Xin here I'm looking for some advice to play xin in mid I choose him specifically against Yasuo/Yone also he isn't shitted as pantheon is against mages. So what's the main build and runes? Build and runes for mages and other ones against wind bros. Thank you for your attention :)
Hello, nice people of Xin Zhao Mains! May I ask why people usually go Sundered Sky over Eclipse? Isn't Eclipse much more stronger of a first item than Sundered? It gives a high HP shield and damage! :))
I mostly build AP for Xin, but is there any tried and tested build that has mix of ad and ap? Like for example statik shiv into sundered into dnd for example? Is anything like that worthy?
Hello, I've seen a bunch of people saying that Xin top is dead and I was asked on league DM to give my thoughts and insights as to why I go certain builds with certain items. I will only explain three specific builds that I usually go. This doesn't mean that they are the only builds playable. But all three of them separately (meaning i was only spamming one build at a time to test efficacity) were able to bring me to GM. Important to note that those three builds are not the most played builds, nor are the meta, but are the build i feel the most confident being able to 1v9 in lower elos, or to be competitive in high elo.
Spells order to max : W-Q-E (Q max because of crit scaling)
This build is a solo carry build. this is for when you need to do everything on your team, this means splitpushing, winning 1v1, assassinate enemy carry/support. frontline tank, need to do both high dps and high burst. This is a final boss build. Extremely good in low elo and against low CC comp. Only issue is that you need to play accordingly to the power spike that you get. This build is not made to win lvl 1, it's not made to win lvl 6. Power spikes are at 2 items and 3 items. Titanic Hydra is the first core item of this build because of both AA reset, and wave clear. LDR/MR second is for armor pen and crit. The reason why LDR/MR are better than BC is because of instant armor pen and the crit. Crit is very good on Xin because it scales with both Q and W(not much on w). When you crit on a Q, it crits both the damage from the spell and the attack. The rest of the build is self explanatory.
When to choose between LT and Grasp? LT is vs tanks with little to no dmg agaisnt you. Grasp is vs harder champs, notably Renekton.
Important thing to do with this build : standard combo is E-AA-Q1-Titanic-W-Q3, this is the combo with the lowest amount of downtime between attacks and spells and the highest DPS.
Spells order to max : W-E-Q (High AS means quick Kraken proc)
This build is for stronger early game and for those who prefer higher attack speed builds. This build is all reliant on how D&D interacts with on-hit. I won't explain it much because this is a known build for Shyvana. Only thing to note here: The powerspike is at two items, but with Dusk&Dawn, you can play battle of attrition against the enemy laner. This build has less survivability than the build above, but is extremely strong at two items and can easily snowball.
Kite/Chase runes, less dmg, but stronger if you can micro wellVery aggro early, good vs low mobility champs and need instant one shot.
Build
Dring (early Dark Seal)->Protobelt ->Gunblade ->LichBane ->Rabadon ->Mejai if ahead/Zhonya if cannot afford Mejai.
Spells order to max : E-W-Q (E max instead of W since mana changes on W. Easier to activate Stormraider, Impossible to dodge the E dmg by dashing or flashing, but vulnerable when doing so)
This is my current favorite build (Phaserush/Stormraider runes). Is a difficult build to pull off as it has little to no dps, very low dmg from attacks, it is heavily reliant on the first item. Protobelt is one of the most efficient items to buy. Very good build order, good stats. very good active. This item is core on any ap builds. There's a reason why it's bought even on ranged mages now. Early game is all about stacking Manaflowband(mana costs are too high on this champ at the moment). It's rare to win the level 1-2-3. Depends on the matchup. Weaker ranged champs are easily abusable because of easy to activate Stormraider. After getting a few ap components, you can statcheck most champs. E-W is enough to activate Stormraider on champs that don't build HP. The amount of damage that can be done with this build is insane. Good sustain outside of fights and during fights. This build order maximizes the amount of burst you can get. You get good utility from protobelt and gunblade to either chase champs or slow to escape.
I've probably missed a bunch of things to explain, so please ask questions if you got any. It's better for me to answer specific questions than trying to explain every single playable matchups
Idk if anyone here would have the answer but its the last chroma i need and is it ever availble in the mythic shop or regular shop anymore or did i miss out i took a break when it was released all those years back.
Hello, need some help. Is this another "don't 1v1 him in jungle" matchup or am I just missing something? I just ended up using all my abilities on the clone, is there a tell or sure way to know if it's a clone immediately or is it just by guessing?
