Build for Top-Lane Xin Zhao?
Hey all,
As a F2P casual scrub I am always cautious about buying new champions since my IP income is like a leaking tap. Anyways, although I "main" top lane, I am trying to improve my champion pool for other lanes, specifically jungle at the moment, and came to the conclusion that I would buy Xin Zhao as I have heard he is strong at the moment with the Cleaver buff.
That being said I also want to play him in the top lane too, but I haven't come across any concrete "must follow" item builds, and most of them look sub-optimal. So I was wondering if any more experience players could give me advice on what works for Xin Zhao top, or if it's even worth playing him top at all?!
I was thinking build him like Jax, but more of a tanky-initiator-jumpontotheircarryandult type champ, with items like; Tri-Force, Youmuus, Black Cleaver (?), Blade of the Ruined King (I don't think it would be good on him for some reason...), Randuin's, Spirit Visage etc. I know in the jungle at the moment building cinderhulk -> black cleaver is pretty solid, but that doesn't transfer to a lane champion very well.
Any thoughts?
or 
. Does your team need someone to catch people out and kill them like an assassin? There's bursty damage builds with 
. Does your team need a splitpusher? Then you might want to consider 
for it's dueling power, or just go AP. 
will fit in just about any Xin build, including the AP one.
