Xin zhao guide

    Hey there everyone im back here today to tell you guys how to play one of my old mains Xin Zhao. I just picked him up after i was forced to mid and the enemy banned talon which is my main champion that i have over 100k mastery points with. Okay so the way i play Xin is in the mid or top lane . You can if you want to play him in the jungle if you please but i really suck at that role because i want to gank but ill loose stacks on devourer and if i stack devourer i wont be helping my teammates so i don't know what to do when that happens.
    Okay first ill start of with his abilities his Q is an auto attack reset that boosts your damage on auto attacks and also every 3rd auto with this ability on will knock up the enemy then it'll go on cooldown . His W passively gives him heals on every 3rd strike and when activated gives you an attack speed boost. His E is a gap closer that does damage . His passive gives you armor penetration on the person you auto attack and his R/ult is an aoe knockback like Vayne's condemn that gives you defensive stats per person hit, it also keeps the person with your passive on them stay in place so i usually e on the enemy adc or mid then ult the supports and tanks away and take the adc out of the fight .In skill order i go R>E>Q>W because i want my e as soon as possible and it still gives you decent burst damage while your autos will still hurt with just a level 1 q.
    Masteries on Xin are kind of hard to decide on because there are only two options and those options are hard to choose from. They are Thunderlord's Decree and Ferver or Battle. I like to go with Thunderlord's because since it will deal bonus damage on every third auto or spell it really goes together with your kit because 2 of your abilities take 3 hits to activate. Ferver is also strong because you auto attack a lot and the bonus damage you'll get on autos will be really strong. For runes you can do anything from attack speed, attack damage or armor pen reds . Armor or scaling health yellows. And magic resist blues. For Quints i go for attack damage or attack speed since you really synergize with it.
     My build for Xin Zhao is Trinity Force rush, Guinsoos Rageblade , Hextech Gunblade , Mercery Treads, Dead Mans Plate, and Spirits Visage .
