Building Xin Zhao and Vayne.

Epic Gamer 82·Aug 14, 2016·1 votes·554 views

I always see on YouTube and in game these insane builds where people playing Xin and Vayne walk up to someone and 3-hit them before they can even react! I have been experimenting with all different kind of builds on these two champions but I can't quite find it. I've looked on Mobafire and LOLKING and the builds there don't deal the damage output I see everywhere else.

I was just wondering if anyone on boards knows how to build Vayne and Xin Zhao for those crazy 3-hit kills.

Thanks.

In my Diamond 1 (or Diamond 2, since I constantly switch between the two) main account, I'm a shameless Xin Zhao main.

Here are my preferred builds with pretty good two/three-shot potential in the late game.

item 1400 item 3142 item 3006 item 3147 item 3026 item 3072 (eventually replace with item 3046 )

item 3748 item 1413 item 3047 item 3078 item 3083 item 3065 (eventually replace with item 3742 )

item 1419 item 3087 item 3006 item 3031 item 3072 item 3046

The second build is my favorite because in case the early game doesn't go your way, you can still be useful to your team as a tank. The two other builds are better if the early game goes your way, because you can really snowball hard with that much damage.

Out of curiosity, how do you feel the following build would be?

Fervor of Battle + [Boots of Choice] item 1419 item 3071 item 3742 item 3065

While the damage might be lower against squishy targets, it seems like it would scale well into the late-game (especially against tanks and neutral objectives) and durable targets.

In all honesty, I believe most AD/Off-Tank builds work with Xin Zhao. It all depends on what you want to accomplish in the specific game you're currently playing. Heck, even AP used to work (before his AP ratios and W's AS got nerfed to the ground in patch 6.4)
