armor and 5 pots

skill sequence is W Q W E W then R > W > Q > E

start at mini golems, wraiths, wolves. if ganking after wolves take e at level 3 otherwise follow mentioned above. otherwise go for buffs


what i do when jungling, after hitting level 2 is that i wait till after triggering knockup from q before activating w, because the q cd doesnt lower until the knockup is used. to me it speeds up jungling as it triggers the second q faster.


as for masteries i usually go 1/21/8 for xin. runes is armor pen reds, armor yellows, mr blues, and health quint reds as thats all i have besides magic pen reds.

I LOVE Jungle Xin Zhao.

Q -> W then E next if you want a level 3 gank or Q then E if one isn't available.

Then R > Q > W > E.

Take Cloth Armor and 5 HP pots, the usual.

I think THESE will show the routes better than I ever could. ^_^

He can start with vamp scepter. I haven't jungled him since the buffs though.

uh what is wrong with it? idc if you have a problem with how i play jungle xin but i'd at least like some feedback as to why its apparently terrible.

also, that second vid was the path i take, blydden. except idk his runes/masteries and i like cloth and 5 pots better.

i dont really like the first part of the first video, he got too low at blue and after mini golems for my taste.

I start at mini golems with a vamp sceptre, work my way through Wraiths, Wolves, and Blue Buff before I have a real choice.

Take Q > W > Q > E
(Then R > Q > W > E OR R > Q > E > W, personal preference)
ALWAYS use your Q after you auto attack as it resets the auto attack animation. Usage of W doesn't matter TOO much, just spam it.

safiest way :

10 arp + rest ad , armor yellow magic resist blue

Q > W > E > E

0/14/16 masteries

cloth armor + 5 pots

start big wolf (pot when you leave it) -> blue > 2 wolves (no pot) > wraiths > red > golems > gank

you can go arp runes and start blue but you will need help (for stronger mid/late game damage)

Actually, AS runes (over AD) make for a faster jungle on most champions (exceptions being ones with AD scaling), but especially on Xin due to shorter cooldowns and faster TTS - and make jungling with Xin even safer due to his passive.

Don't see why you'd need to start at blue - I hope you're not under the delusion that all junglers should. Xin is extremely mana independant, and since he can easily start at double golems (with a Vamp sceptre too!), there's no need to start at blue.
