Okay. Well, I was told I should be ashamed of myself for playing Xin, but hey, whatever, I like him, so fuck everyone else right?
Xin Zhao is the Seneschal of Demacia... whatever the fuck that means. Xin is a spearman who is close to Garen, Jarvan, and Lux, I mean, seeing as though they're all in the same army and all. Xin is a fun character to use who can either go AP or AD, but 99% of Xin's go to AD. Y'know what though, I'll play my Xin either way. Because either way he works.
So, to actually do Xin's review, here goes nothin...
Xin's passive is called Challenge. Xin can activate Challenge with his basic attacks and Audacious Charge. In a nutshell, Challenge isn't really helpful, because all it really does is reduce your target's armor by 15% for three seconds (Of course, hitting the target again causes re-activation, so it's not just one hit and it's done forever, that'd be fuckin stupid.) Although is passive can be useful to stack up with the Black Cleaver, Other than that it only provides a short comfort for if you're fighting really tanky enemies, and personally, I think although that 15% can make a difference, it could've been done a lot better.
His Q is called Three Talon Strike. Three Talon Strike, is pretty fuckin fun. When activated, the next three attacks Xin performs are empowered, and the third attack knocks up his enemy in the air. I mean, it's kind of how I get most of my kills, aside from his E, so yeah. Nothing much to explain.
His W is called Battle Cry. I love this ability and it's the main reason that AP Xin works out so fucking well. It has a passive and an active. It's passive is that it heals Xin every three attacks. No matter what he's fighting. Even if it's an inhibitor or a turret or well... anything... he'll heal every three hits. The active of this ability is that it increases his attack speed for a few seconds. It's pretty fucking awesome when Xin's fighting like, turrets and stuff.
Xin's E is called Audacious Charge. I really like this one. Audacious Charge is a really fun ability and also makes AP Xin work out well. What Audacious charge does is, upon targeting, Xin charges at a target enemy, dealing damage and slowing the target enemy and enemies around them for a few seconds. It gets pretty fun once you build a bit of AP.
Xin Zhao's ult is called Crescent Sweep. What is does is deal physical damage and knock back every enemy who isn't challenged (y'know, Xin's passive... right?) Also, Crescent Sweep deals an added 15% of the targets current health, which makes knocking full health tanks down a notch pretty easy (I also noted that 15 is a thematic number for Xin. Not that I think it means anything. I don't really care.).
Uhh, that's about it for Xin. I haven't really gotten into the swing of using him, so I can't do terribly much on this review, however, I will give you my common build for him:
Berserker's Greaves
Zephyr
Trinity Force
Guinsoo's Rageblade
Black Cleaver
Either Rabadabadingo Cap or Sanguine Blade depending on how I feel.
