Xin Zhao Build Guide by Hargis2010

@mashimuro- I know that its not a very good answer, but this was just how I have always done it lol. I'm on vacation atm be back on the 30th, I will test this then.

@RuminatingWin- Good job and thanks for the vote. Your Kass guide is a decent read with a lot of detail. But I would recommend finishing your Frozen Heart at one point. This would give you more armor, cap out your cdr, and give you an amazing aura.

oh lol thanks

Thank you, most of the time I actually buy Randuin's Omen. But to simplify this build (make it more n00b friendly) I chose the Sunfire Cape, for it is the best health/armor item you can buy (not counting Randuin's active). Replacing Randuin's with sunfire cape removes the multiple active items aspect therefore if you forget to use one you are not wasting what you paid for.

I added the section that you suggested. If you don't find it satisfactory let me know as I will gladly add to it.

I am going to downvote as of now, this might change if you give me some REAL reason for why you would choose Triforce over BC?

Pro's of Triforce:
- Chance to slow (it's a quite unstable pro)
- Abit MS (which is a big +)
- Abit health and mana (nothing big really)
- Minor burst increase when doing the combo. (we are talking a max of 200ish extra damage)

Pro's of BC:
- Crucial AS increase
- Highest amount of flat Arp you can get!
- Much higher increase in sustained damage compared to Triforce.
- Much much Cheaper than Triforce!

Triforce definately looses that fight for me because of how amazingly great synergy BC have with Xin Zhao's skillset.

I've tried both and I definately like the early BC more than Triforce - You can then work the Triforce into your build as a lategame item.

But please tell me whatever it is that makes you chooce triforce over BC ^^

Other than that you have a great guide with the right jungling route - however you should probably add that after blue, if there is nowhere to gank - going back to double golems and then grabbing red is the fastest way to go ;)

Edit: Found some other minor flaws - first of all maxing W after E? You be trolling mon? the increased AS isn't at all compareable to the increased damage on Q. And you can postpone completing you boots till after your first big item. (Atleast some games it works very well to not complete them right away ^^ )
and 5% damage is HUGE in jungle masteries should be 21/0/9 allways! No discussion Xin is in no way very reliable on any of the buffs so those 15% more isn't at all worth it.
