I like the build +1

No problem I just didn't find Ghostblade that much of a diffrence, because when I charge in I use Battle Cry, Charge, TTS. ULT before TTS if its up, and I find my cooldowns not long at all.

Yeah I have to admit my build is a bit squishy, I'll try swapping out Ghostblade, but then again it might work for you but not for me, depends on play style. But thanks for your suggestion i'll try it out and see how i do.

I think its a good build although it is really squishy. Here's my two cents, you need a defensive item, but you also want to make sure you are able to dish out the damage Xin is suppose to, what I would do and I've tested it in matches recently is swap out the Ghostblade for a defensive item. Thornmail if you are facing alot of AD/AS champs. Banshees obviously for people stacking AP, or spell casters. Your core should be Berserk/Mercury(situational),Black Cleaver, and Phantom Dancer. After that everything else should be based on your team/opponents. That being said, I find Trinity Force + Banshees to be the best all around items for survivability if you manage to get a match where you build them both up.

Edit* The reason for swapping out the ghostblade is you are already going to get enough attack speed so you won't need the active. As for the passive cooldown reduction, you don't really need that if you use battle cry when attacking someone. That being said you already have CDR from your skills, AS from a skill, and ArP you should have that made up in your runes. I found no gamebreaker swapping it out.

Voted UP though. It is a nice way for someone to start trying out Xin.

thank you

like it, good work, nice build+1 from me

Thank you! I will take that into consideration. It's really hard to swap them out cuz all of them are so awesome!

I have to agree with Toxic in saying that it's always good to use at least one defensive item in a core build like this.

Other than that the guide is well thought out. Nice.

way too squishy

To keep it simple, I doubt this will work on a competitive game. You are a melee champion and your only "defensive" item is trinity force and you put all the defensive items in "situational". I think that's a mistake. Banshee Veil will always give you inmunity to 1 spell and... what team plays 5 auto-attackers? I mean, doesn't matter if it's mumu's ultimate, rammus taunt, malza's ulti, kassa silence. There's always something to be ready for. If you play that build aganist someone who actually knows how to focus you'll just charge towards him and he'll be like: "thanks, I don't even have to chase you to slap you". I'd say that at least, banshee veil is a must for any xin zao (and I'd say that frozen maullet is too). If you are ranged you can be squisy cause you'll have a couple of seconds while the enemy gets to you to start hitting. But I see that your build is just too squisy for a melee.

I've seen this in game (played for others xin's i guess) and it never was a problem, mainly they just fed me and my team. If you are melee you can't afford being this squisy

DAYUM NIGGUH THIS IS THE ****!
thnx bruh

GREAT GUIDE!
