Learn how to play with Xin Zhao with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Xin Zhao ganks your lane, save your crowd control abilities until after his Q knock-up expires. This creates a longer CC chain rather than overlapping disables, giving enemies less time to escape.
Lane Phase Skirmish
When Xin Zhao activates his R, he becomes invulnerable to enemies outside its radius for 4 seconds. Use this window to safely follow up with your abilities while enemies are forced to either fight within his circle or retreat.
Team Fight Skirmish
Maintain lane priority in the first 3-5 minutes when playing with Xin Zhao. His strong early dueling makes him excellent at securing scuttle crabs and invading, but he needs nearby lanes to have priority in case of enemy counterplay.
Basic Lane Phase
When Xin Zhao marks an enemy as "Challenged" (visible effect after hitting them), focus this target immediately. When Xin uses his ultimate, this is the only enemy who can damage him from outside his circle, making them the priority target.
Team Fight Skirmish
Track Xin Zhao's ultimate cooldown (100-120 seconds) and avoid engaging in full teamfights when it's down. Without his R, he becomes extremely vulnerable in the late game and can be focused down quickly.
Advanced Team Fight Late Game
Be ready to assist with dragon control around 5-6 minutes when playing with Xin Zhao. His strong early dueling makes him excellent at securing early dragons, but he needs support from nearby lanes to contest vision and prevent enemy collapse.
Lane Phase
Xin Zhao's third Q strike provides a 0.75 second knock-up. Time your crowd control abilities to begin as this knock-up ends for maximum disable duration, especially when trying to secure kills during ganks.
Skirmish Team Fight
After Xin Zhao marks an enemy as "Challenged" with his abilities, his E dash range nearly doubles (from 650 to 1100). This extended range allows him to reach targets at medium distance, so maintain pressure on damaged enemies even when they've retreated.
