Tips & Tricks

  • 1.Q (Three Talon Strike) third hit knocks up — E in, auto-Q for rapid three-hit proc.
  • 2.W (Wind Becomes Lightning) second slash is a long-range poke; use it to harass or slow before engaging.
  • 3.E (Audacious Charge) is a targeted dash with a slow; use it to gap close onto priority targets.
  • 4.R (Crescent Guard) knocks back all enemies except the last champion you attacked — isolate carries.
  • 5.Xin Zhao is a strong early-game jungler; gank frequently before level 6 while your base stats dominate.
