Tanky DPS Xin Zhao

[quote=Jebus McAzn]PFP: I like that build a lot, although I'm going to be trying it with Randuin's or Sunfire Cape instead of I-Edge.[/quote]

[quote=Dante Rebellion]Straight up DPS is the best way to build him imo.. boots+madreds Wriggles Brut finish boots Youmuu B.F Sword (damage is much needed) Trinity Force Black Cleaver Banshee It's similar to guardsman bob's Xin build, but I add tri-force since the burst and damage is just beautiful[/quote]

First of all, I wouldn't jungle with Xin, since he is so great in lane. If that's really your plan, go with one of the other builds mentioned earlier (Wriggles > Boots > Brut > w/e > w/e) I build him like a Tanky DPS. The most viable way, imo. Glasscannon/abovementioned is awesome damage, but I don't like the fact that you'll die so much (I'm not going to define "much", but it's more than I want to die in the games :P). Lately I tried this new thing. I've won ever since (4 games xD): 1. Cloth armor+5pots/Dorans Blade/Dorans Shield/Boots+3pots Boots (I ALWAYS pick Merc's - only few times Ninja .. never felt like "Berserkers" was better than these options) 2. HoG 3. Brut 4. Avarice Blade (this together with HoG will give you a great amount of gold, quickly) 5. Wardens Mail 6. Negatron Cloak 7. Ghostblade 8. Phage 9. Vampiric Scepter 10. Trinity (Zeal before) 11. Randuins 12. Banshees/FoN 13. Starks So final is: Boots - Ghostblade - Randuins - FoN/Banshees - Trinity - Starks The reason I start out so defensively, is, like mentioned earlier, because Xin got awesome damage even without items. Early on, you'll have decent damage, a lot of money and great survivability compared to your opponents. Masteries is different. But I usually go mostly in defense-tree (not full tho). Runes are: 9x AttSpeed RED (in Adonikams newest build there was a calculations stating, that these might be better than ArmP .. I dunno, trying it now) - 9x Dodge seals - 9x Flat CDr glyphs - 3x Movement Speed Quints. xD[/quote]
