Xin Zhao ARAM Build 26.22

Xin Zhao Item Build

A no-recall attrition war rewards Xin Zhao for buying attack speed, because it does more than speed his combo. Every extra hit fires his third-strike heal sooner, and that steady sustain is what keeps him topped up in a fight he can never step out of. He rounds it out with attack damage and durability so the all-in has bite and staying power, but on the Rift he could retreat to heal, while here the sustain comes mid-brawl.

Best Xin Zhao Runes

Conqueror rewards the way Xin Zhao commits to the endless teamfight, charging into the thick of the clump and never backing out. His kit is all about sticking to one target through the Audacious Charge slow and the Three Talon knockup while the fight rages around him. Fill the page with the durability that keeps him swinging in the middle of the Abyss brawl.

Xin Zhao Skill Order

With damage scaled to 95 percent on the Abyss, the order buys area coverage first: Wind Becomes Lightning is complete by level 9 and Audacious Charge takes 8 through 13, so the knockup finisher spends most of the game on the rank it opened with.

Xin Zhao ARAM Abilities

Wind Becomes Lightning does more than slow, it marks whoever it clips as Challenged, and that tag is what stretches Audacious Charge into a longer gap-closer against the same target. Reading that link, W then E, is the sequencing that turns a chase into a guaranteed catch.
