The first build in the guide is always made to fit the meta and the runes present. The rest are situational and show meta builds that existed at some point in the years and that might cone back at some point in the future, if you are not sure about what to get or how ti mix and match then I suggest the first build that i list.

Hey, thank you very much for the awesome guide. Xin Zhao has always been the champion I have the highest win rate on in the jungle, and the most fun for me to play. I wanted to see if I am going with the most optimal build and paths and your guide has helped me ! (turns out I was doing pretty good :) ) Thank you for the valuable information, it will be put to good use by many !

In other people's playstyles, they allocate less time to farming and more time to ganking. This is probably the reason why they go phase rush and max e second. Maxing e allows for a faster knockup and phase rush makes catching people during ganking easier and is better for guaranteeing the success of a gank.

I think it depends on your own playstyle. If you are more the gank player you take Phase Rush, but if you like to farm more rather than ganking the lanes then you would go PTA.

Thanks :D, i will try to at least updated the guide every now and then whenever it's truly needed since i know a lot of people use it regularly and it would be a shame for the guide to be phased out if it's needed.

Try the builds on the top of the first page of the guide, those are the ones that get regularly updated, aka, first 1-2 builds.

If you want an all around great item that benefits Xin Zhao and the rest of the build i basically you winging it based on the game then Trinity is the way to go. If they have a lot of tanks, or you have a build that calls for Black Cleaver specifically, or you need some more health overall for a tankier build, then go for the Cleaver. thanks for your support :)

I list dozens builds that i have played over the years in the guide, you dont have to stick to one, for example i usually use the first build that i list on the guide which i change when i also change build because thats what feels better for me, i give notes for each build and its uses, try the build that i list as "early-midgame domination" or something that you feel fits your playstyle.

Kirito91
| August 20, 2018 3:37am
Which one do you feel better? Early mid game build with pta or Early mid game build with phase rush

HAMMERSLAYER

In the past Phase rush was almost always the worst choice and it seemed pretty underpowered but right now after the buffs on Stormrazor there is almost 0 reason to go for a Trinity Force as a second item so the playstyle changes rapidly, you can rush Stormrazor and then play a back and forth strategious engage with the help of Phase Rush in order to maximaze the Strmrazor damage and preserve health, so it can be the better choice if you rush Stormrazor and play more strategically instead of going all-in, if you do go all in or you get Trinity then i suggest PTA.

What do you think about lethal tempo with xin? is it good combination with stormrazor?
1
HAMMERSLAYER
(13) | September 5, 2018 10:10am
Unfortunatly not, Lethal Tempo requires a high basic attack DPS which come from builds that involve Bloodrazor, BotRK and Rageblade and even then PTA outperfoms it in most situations. Stormrazor is a very oportunistic and thus can't dive into battle and deal constant DPS without dying, that's why Phase Rush works now on Xin. I think Lethal Tempo will need a massive meta shift for it to be used on Xin effectively.

Every challenger jungler I know takes Phase Rush over PTA on Xin Zhao. Tarzaned arguably one of the best junglers in NA takes Phase Rush over PTA. Anything to say about this?
1
HAMMERSLAYER
(13) | June 21, 2018 2:38pm
Every Challenger jungle you see, picked Xin Zhao just because is in the meta and they have an average of 50-100 games on him, in the last 3 seasons. Do you know what the average Master and Challenger Xin Zhao jungler level up? They level up W and then E, if you find me a good enough reason to level E something other than last then i will commend you for that. Because something is a trend, that doesn't mean it's good. Phase Rush gives you a burst of speed and some slow resistance and that's all, if i want playing in top Challenger with a team of my own then i might have been using that and also go a 50% supportive build to help the team and the carries, in solo queue instead you must carry yourself, you can't really on team play and a supportive Xin Zhao with Phase Rush + Zekes + Knight's Vow + Randuins. Even if you want a supportive build then you need PTA to make up for the lost damage.

That Phase Rush is the best keystone on Xin Zhao and this guide is misleading toward higher elo ? xd I agree with you l0stinfr0st

HAMMERSLAYER
(13) | June 21, 2018 2:43pm
mate, we are both on the same elo, before 8.12 hit we were hovering around the exactly same elo and i am also D2 peak (achieved only by playing Xin jungle back in S7), you have 10 games xin with 40% winrate and you are going to accuse me of being missleading? Where are your credentials and where is your argument.

1. You are EUNE d2 EUNE aint d2 EUW 2. The most common keystone is phase rush on xin zhao 3. My account were created 2 months ago not hours ago ? I don't know what you are talking about 4. Yea I have 40% winrate on Xin Zhao with 10 games = 4 wins. 6 loses and I haven't played him recently because I am better at Graves and Kha funny enough

I am sorry to tell you but i also have D5 NA and D2 EUW accounts that i no longer play on. The account of the first commenter got created just a few hours ago, probably just to ask that question and i have a high suspition it's you who created it so i don't care much.

You are not answering on my questions or saying anything agaisnt my arugments so I don't know... How can you play on NA and EU ? and why don't you link me the d2 EUW account and me on IATK to prove it, if you have a suspition that I created the account L0stinFr0st you are a complete joke and I do have knowledge of Xin Zhao since he is an S tier jungler atm and i meet him in soloQ every day I play on my main

First of all i have a couple of years to play on other servers because i am no longer a highschooler with lots of free time that can play on 3 accounts(if you had better internet you could play on NA easily with just some extra ping, enough to get you to D5), secondly you creating that account is just an assumption of mine, i can't be sure so i don't care, thirdly you just found out about how Xin is getting played just because of him being in the Meta, that's not enough time to jump to conclusions, otherwise i would claim to know the best for every jungler since everntually they all jump into the Meta every now and then and you see them pretty often. All your arguments can be countered on the first comment i made, justifying all the picks i made on the champion.

Phase rush still most common keystone on xin

Sorry mate, most common =/= most effective

I mean it works and it is easy to play around and very effective on the champion with his kit

(13) | June 21, 2018 4:38pm
It works for teams but you can't rely on it in solo queue, i can't put all my faith on how the team will perform and if they win their lanes and just play a supportive Xin Zhao. In solo queue everyone tries to carry for themselves.

Ivern Nunu ? I mean it's a team game and you can still carry just by items triforce steraks titanic

HAMMERSLAYER
(13) | June 21, 2018 4:56pm
Nunu only got used along with Karthus, Ivern is non existant in this meta and doesn't get played below Challenger most of the time. Also, don't forget, a "support" jungle and a "supportive bruiser" jungle is totally different and have nothing to do with each other. If you think that Phase Rush xin zhao is good in solo queue then i urge you to start playing it and at least stay at the same MMR you are currently at, if you start falling don't mind that, keep telling yourself that it's good, when you reach low Plat then come back to me. Anyway, i can't be bothered anymore, i am one of the most, if not the most knowledgeable Xin Zhao out there, if you want to listen to me, then do, if you don't want to, then i don't care, this guide only helps people that want to learn and i get an astonishing 0% profit from it, i do it purely because some people want to learn and it helps them a lot. Don't bother me with nonsense.
