Champion Tips

Riot official

Playing as

  • 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.
  • It's often worth getting at least 1 point of Battle Cry to gain the health restore effect.
  • Try to position yourself so your ultimate's knockback is most effective

Playing against

  • Xin Zhao is a powerful initiator with both his charge and ultimate dealing damage to all units around him. Try having your team stay spread out until he's used his ultimate.
  • Xin Zhao relies heavily on his Three Talon Strikes for damage and cooldown resets, so preventing him from finishing his combo will have a dramatic effect.
