Great build! +1

1st its only has 5 items -.- 2nd why put off audacious charge till the end? its like the best initiator skill ever!! if you wanna gank you want that up i usually uprgade audacious charge and battle cry evenly with one point in TTS then TTS when theres nothing left to upgrade.
Just my opinion.

This is the only build i use of Xin Zhao now and it owns everyone, i always win before i can get my Bloodthirster. >.<

Yeah, it was a preference thing. I don't find myself needing an extra slow and its always nice to be able to counteract any healing. The extra damage can be useful for finishing people off but the real strength of ignite is being able to pop that on whoever is getting heals.

I love your build. It has great description and so far ive been on a winning streak with about the same items. I haven't got up to the bloodthirsters yet either because the other team surrendered or we did very good with me as an initiator :D

thanks for your build :]

Exhaust vs. ignite is mostly a preference thing. With Xin you already have a slow, and you should generally be able to get TTS off twice on most people. By that time, they're probably either dead or running. With the changes to cleanse, Ignite gives you guaranteed damage, whereas Exhaust is more variable, and prone to being countered by cleanse, or even ghost or flash.

It's up to you, but usually you should be able to get TTS off twice without the extra slow. If you find that it isn't working for you, go with exhaust.

Hey TSTC,

i would use exhaust instead of ignite to to slow the enemy and got better chance to hit Three Talon Strike twice (/often).

Can u please describe why u use ignite? Thx

actually i play xin like i play garen, 100% crit chance, 2 phatom dancers, and 1 IE, and a phage, but ill give it a try with this build ;)

Really glad to have found this guide among all the ones posted as soon as they could be. It's gotten me quite a few wins already and your description is top notch. Keep up the fantastic work.
