Xin Zhao, the Seneschal of Demacia, is a perfect jungler for anyone who loves fighting. All of his abilities are designed to dominate duels. Increased attack speed, healing with every third hit, CC and an ult with which you can burst and which immunizes you against damage from ranged fighters for a short time make Xin Zhao a fighter who is ready for any situation. If you want to learn how to master the rift with him, then you’ve come to the right place.
The first Jungle Clear is a little sluggish with Xin Zhao, but you can make up some time by utilizing his “Autoattack Resets”. An “autoattack reset” means that as soon as the damage from your autoattack comes through, you immediately use Q or E to cancel the rest of the autoattack animation. With a little practice, this quickly feels very natural when playing Xin Zhao. His abilities synergize very well with each other, the E is not only an “autoattack reset”, but also provides additional attack speed and a slowdown as well as area damage. The “W” is your most important ability, as it does the most damage and is easy to hit after the “E”. It also marks the enemy you hit as challenged, so you can use your “E” against them at longer range (only on champions and epic monsters). Once both abilities are on cooldown, use the “Q”, also an “autoattack reset” and each hit with the active “Q” will reduce the cooldowns of your other abilities by 1 second.
