  • Sundered Sky
  • Serylda's Grudge
  • Guardian Angel

  • Randuin's Omen

When the enemy's damage leans physical and fights happen on the front line

This build stacks +1083 Max Health and +115 Armor while still reaching +155 Attack Damage and +50 Ability Haste. Sundered Sky turns your first attack against an enemy champion into a Critical Strike (6s cooldown per target), dealing 160% damage and healing you for 125% of base AD plus 6% of missing HP. Serylda's Grudge adds 33% AR Pen, which cuts through opponents who build armor. Randuin's Omen cuts critical physical damage taken by 30%, so you can keep standing in front of an enemy AD carry.

Xin Zhao Strengths

  • Strong early 1v1s and ganks
  • Ult isolates targets and blocks ranged damage
  • Simple mechanics and consistent performance

Xin Zhao Weaknesses

  • ×Carry potential drops off in the late game
  • ×No escape ability once committed
  • ×Wall-crossing mobility is conditional

Early Game

Xin Zhao's level 2-3 ganks are among the strongest for a jungler. After taking Red Buff, show up in mid or a side lane right away. Early kills let you set the pace of the game.

Mid Game

Use your early lead to invade the enemy jungle and stall their jungler's growth. In objective fights, Ult can split the enemy formation, so look to start fights yourself.

Late Game

Your carry potential fades as the game goes on. Switching to a tank build and playing as the frontline is the safe choice. Protect your damage dealers with your body and hold the line.

Teamfights

The ideal engage is diving onto the enemy backline and casting Ult there. Knock the surrounding enemies away and isolate their carry. Inside the zone that blocks damage from range, keep fighting as long as you can.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Always engaging with Skill 3 and losing your way out

Charging in with Skill 3 without looking is a habit to avoid in ganks and teamfights. Enemies often Flash under tower or a counter-gank arrives, and with no escape you simply die. The better pattern is to open with the Skill 2 slow, walk up, and land the Skill 1 knock-up. Even after unlocking Ult, keep Skill 3 for chasing after the enemy uses their dash.

Xin Zhao Combos

Basic Engage

Dash in with Skill 3, slow with Skill 2, then knock them up with the third hit of Skill 1.
