great guide, can you please finish the rest of the match ups tho please :D

Someone in the comment above said he couldn't see why you should max Q over E. That is all, this guy wasn't being a troll. Plus if you write guide but don't accept the fact that not everybody will like or upvote it, just don't do guide. xD

Hey sorry that the guide was confusing, was have reworked the item layout as well as touched up the info sections to match more accurately so it's not confusing. Hope this helps.

There is quite the discrepancy between the items and ability sequences listed in this guide. I'd advice you to have a look at it and see if you can't make it any clearer because it isn't to me (I'm rather new to Xin Zhao).

Your Season 4 Changes section needs an update, because it references maxing TTS first over AC. Great guide though! Looking forward to getting some more XZ practice in Team Builder and Ranked Games for those early-level ganks and to help my teammates snowball!

Yes it does thanks for the response.

The short answer is yes, you would deal more damage on Xin if you leveled Q & W as your first two skill, how ever, that is providing that your target is standing there and letting you continuously auto attack them.

With that said, the reason why I choose to go E first is for the cooldown being reduced on he ability and the slow is increased by a lot as well. seeing how this ability is your main source of sticking to your target, that is why I recommend leveling it first. I always prefer movement based skills on champions and then damage and/or utility.

Dose that help answer your question?

Thanks for making this guide. Had a question, do you think Feral Flare should influence our ability choices? Should we focus on W and Q for more attack speed and damage with Feral Flare stacks? I wonder if we can output more damage mid game with W&Q over E thanks to Feral Flare.

Awesome! I'd like to thank you for making this guide, I was doing terrible as Xin, but after I followed this guide for jungle I got a baron steal penta-kill first game! I wish I could give more than 1 vote for this guide it deserves to be on top.

What do you think about Zephyr and Feral Flare on Xin?

Great guide that helps me a lot about when to pick Jungle Xin Zhao and how to play him effectively!

If you have tried Wriggle's Lantern again after it's recent changes I would like to see an update on this item in your guide since I'm curious if you would consider it more viable for Xin Zhao right now.

Hey there,

I have to say, I really enjoyed this guide. I found it really informative and interesting to read, and although a lot of this is self-explanatory, it is really in depth and a huge asset to any person who wishes to learn and play Xin.
However, I have a few ideas that might make this guide even better. Firstly, I think it might be worth considering splitting up the thicker parts of text into bullet points to make it less daunting visually.
Furthermore, it may be worth considering using different colors to highlight comments that are linked, or to give a word or statement more emphasis.
Putting in a section on how you manage your cool downs and positioning in team fights may be a good investment. Although you touch on these areas; including whole sections would be beneficial. Lastly, I feel that you need to add to the last section where you discuss counters to Xin, and junglers he is strong against, making sure you offer an analysis for each champion you mention.
Other than this, I feel this is a brilliant guide and I will happily give this an up vote!

Great Job,
