Xin Zhao General information

Xin Zhao tips and tricks

Keep the wave closer to your side of the map early. You will be able to chase the enemy down with your Wind Becomes LightningW and Audacious ChargeE if you have all the lane to run them down.

Adapt your build to your team’s needs! Xin Zhao’s build path is very versatile and he can either go full damage or tank depending on what you need!

Look for picks in the mid-game to catch out unexpecting targets moving around Summoners Rift alone.
