Any advice for Xin builds?
I have been toying around with one but i wasn't able to finish it once.
Basically going zerk boots, cloak and dagger, black cleaver, youumu, hexdrinker and a defensive item of choice.Or if i need more hp switch out boots for mercs, and take frozen mallet instead of C&D.
This would for some crit damage and attack speed while having decent enough survivabilty with some resistances and possibly hp if needed.

Go Tanky DPS.

Get ONE damage item - Youmuu's or Black Cleaver - then build 2-3 tank items.

Going up in a few minutes; I think I shall play Akali.

Also, as akali would you say building Hextech revolvers first or sheen? I'm adament the hextech just means I survive so much more allowing me to do crazier shit and get away with it more often.

Just won a game where i had to tank as Jarvan, the game itself proved that kills don't mean much, we were behind some 5-7 kills the whole time but they only managed to destroy two of our towers.Ofcourse a fed Eve helped a lot, but i think that was evened out by our 0/9/7 Lux, besides they had a pretty nasty Kat and Veigar.

Now doing a 3v3. Another game that bolsters the position that you can own any team with 3 tanky deeps, mundo singed and nunu vs twitch, vlad and brand.

Ever sinced they buffed xin's W back, his old tanky DPS build works again. You basicaly go merc threads, youmuu, sword of the divine, then go tanky all the way.

When you're going to kill someone, you activate both youmuu and sword of the divine + W + Q. You attack at the speed of sound for true damage, and become a boss tier chaser.

True damage?

Sword of the divines active gives 30 armor pen and makes your attacks undodgeable.

Higher damage? Yes. True damage? Far from it. Tanks with 200 armor won't notice the arpen really.

Actually, the only reason you go the standard Xin build is to kill tanks. What's the point of ghostblade + sword of the divine + arpen runes masteries against squishies? Sure, it'll probably do true damage to them but you're literally going to have more arpen than squishies have armour.

Black cleaver is enough if Xin wants to burst squishies down with his combo. Arpen build is when you need to autoattack a lot (this is not something Xin Zhao wants to do).

I recommend instead of ghostblade + sotd, get black cleaver + wits end / wriggles. Not as much armour pen, but definitely more damage and attack speed. Then all tanky like he said.

i messed up my last game and got 2 phantom dancers first, i could outrun just about everyone, and had 2.5 attack speed.

however i felt like i couldnt kill shit due to only doing like 110 dmg ^_^.

also fuck warwicks with madreds blood razor fffff, really made me notice how little damage i did when i couldnt solo a warwick.

my build currently for xin varies slightly.

dorans blade > lane for 5 minutes or whatever > go back for boots of speed or if you laning well berserker boots/ ninja tabi and a few health pots> save up for a part of a black cleaver, generally i save up for the BF sword> get black cleaver>  farm moar get phantom dancer > farm moar get kills, get bloodthirster > farm moar get an armor item that will protect you from most of their team ie thornmail, force of nature > sell dorans off for item slot get something to protect you from cc or another dmg item IE bloodthirster.

i honestly dont know how well ninja tabi save my life, but i have dodge runes now so i have like a 18% dodge chance with ninja tabi and runes.

i couldnt solo a warwick.

The basic rule for 1v1ing Warwick is this. If you can solo baron, you can kill Warwick 1v1.

Surely 100 armor pen from actives + an arp item+ runes and masteries is not a noticeable difference, especialy when it takes half the damage it'd take to bring them down . Alternatively, you do true damage to anyone who isn't a tank.

Sure for squishies.

Just played an awesome ranked game as Zilean. We even taught some of our team Finnish, such as what "Kiitos", or "Auta" mean.

Too bad our Eve was killed too quickly, many many times I could've ulted her if she jsut had some more defense.
