I recently started playing xin zhao. i started playing him and fell in love his sustain and damage is great at all levels and built right he can be just as big of a menace late game as early. ive played proably 50 games as him so far and there was only 1 match that late game when far behind i couldnt 1v1 thier most fed champ if i got the suprise. Is there any tips you guys could give?

Edit, I play him jungle, i have tried him top and couldnt get it to work. any advice on that would also be welcome.

I've been having more success ever since I started building more glassier early game. Which makes sense seeing Xin is an early game champ. So Items like item 3707 and item 3078 are amazing if you manage to pick them up before mid game. Then, later, just build some defenses.

don't get item 3710 get item 3707 instead. Xin is strongest early game and the early AD combined with an early gank is very strong. Also when ganking, if you manage to flank the enemy don't use audacious charge (E) unless they flash or move out of range. because if you are blocking their path they have to go past you to escape so you can easily cc them with (q) and (e) them if they try to flash past you.

item 3930 item 3153 into fulltank (optimising cdr!!! Zhao can do real plays with CDR) get both buffs gank and destroy the solo laner's life for all game.

And never get any item 3057 item it's absolutely terrible for zhao.

People think its insane. I've seen it once and this Xin carried the game himself 1 v 5. The build was item 3930 , item 3006 , item 3115 , item 3089 , item 3285 , and item 3157 . I thought this was stupid at first. Except he heals twice as much...with sated devourer he was healing like 400 hp + everyother auto with that much attack speed. This guy had bad early game. Come late game he was soloing full hp turrets.
