Hey there summoners, my name's: HoppingGiraffe. i'm a silver 1 player in season 3 and with this guide i'd like to show everyone the potential of xin zhao as a jungler. xin zhao is by far my most favorite jungler he has very strong early game power wich allows you to carry your team to victory. (this guide can also be used to carry yourself out of bronze)

I think xin can either be build tank or damage. it really depens if you're fed or not.

I'd much prefer constructive criticism in the comments than a downvote. c: And if you like this guide, then be sure to upvote it!

Runes:

+0.95 Attack damage
I pick this rune for extra damage since xin early has a lot of power i utilise that by getting these runes
+1.7 Attack speed
Xin's gank really depend on the fact if you can get your knock up off, so therefore some more attack speed
+1.41 armor
For that extra jungle resistance some armor seals
+1.34 magic resist
For that extra resistance when ganking that mid laner
+1.5% movement speed
if you want to be effective in ganking you need some movespeed to get to lanes fast. so therefore take movement speed quintessences

PROS

+tanky
+high early damage
+knock up, AoE
+high mobility
+gap closers
+doesn't need blue buff

CONS

-late game kinda weak
-no range
-attackspeed and cd dependant
