Xin Zhao

Strengths

Xin Zhao is a great initiator to combat. Lead the front to start a fight and use your ultimate to do the most damage possible.
Try to position yourself so your ultimate's knockback is most effective.

Passive · Determination — Every third attack deals bonus damage and heals Xin Zhao.
Q · Three Talon Strike — Xin Zhao's next 3 standard attacks deal increased damage with the third attack knocking an opponent into the air.
W · Wind Becomes Lightning — Xin Zhao slashes in front of himself with his spear, then thrusts it forward, slowing affected enemies and marking them as Challenged.
E · Audacious Charge — Xin Zhao charges to an enemy, gaining increased Attack Speed and dealing damage to all enemies in the area, slowing them briefly. This Ability gains increased range against Challenged targets.
Ultimate · Crescent Guard — Xin Zhao passively challenges an enemy he damaged recently. When activated, Xin Zhao deals damage to nearby enemies based on their current Health and knocks non-challenged targets back, becoming impervious to damage dealt by champions outside of the circle created.

A suggested 5-lane lineup built around Xin Zhao, based on hero partnerships and role synergy — not win rate.
