Otp Xin Zhao, played him midlane more than jungle, much more enjoyable.

Jungler sucks, and its gonna suck more with the nerfs, so I decided to climb with Xin Zhao midlane instead, and boy do I enjoy that, and to revolutionize this pick that everybody is trashing on I plan to reach the high ranks with it.

Will update this guide when I get more information and strategies.

You go hail of blades, and trade with the enemy everytime you can, if the opponent has cc bait it out before going in, you will 90% of the time win the trade, Xin Zhao is an early game dominator, hes made for killing, so go for the kills, clear your lane, instantly go out for ganks or objectives, you are not gonna be in the spotlight in endgame, so get your teammates forwards.

You have a serrated dirk powerspike, abuse it.

Your strongest point in the game is level 1 to 2, your early game is insane, and aim to get first blood, do level 1 trades to get the opponent low, and then kill them on level ups.

COMBOS
The usual combo I do with Xin Zhao is (E, Auto, Q, Auto 3x, W, Auto) if you want to gurrantee some big damage you can (Q, Auto a minion 2 times, E, Auto, W, Auto) if the opponent is low enough, your executing combo will be (Q, Auto attack minion 2 times, flash, E, Auto, W, Auto, Ignite) this will kill most 50% HP enemies at level 3
