Playing as Xin Zhao

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Land your three hits

    After Three Talon Strike (Q), land your three autos: the third one is a knock-up, and each one lowers your other spells' cooldowns by 1 second.

  2. Thrust first, charge second

    Land the thrust of Wind Becomes Lightning (W) before Audacious Charge (E): the Challenged target is revealed, and your charge reaches farther on them.

  3. Isolate your target with your ult

    Hit your target right before Crescent Guard (R): Challenged, they stay with you while the others are knocked back, and damage from outside can't reach you for a moment.

  4. Get ahead early

    Gank and skirmish as much as you can early on: Audacious Charge (E) and the Three Talon Strike (Q) knock-up matter most before everyone has their items.

Playing against Trundle

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Draw him out of his domain

    Don't fight in Frozen Domain (W): he gains move speed, attack speed and increased healing inside. Back off to draw him out of the zone.

  2. Back off after his Chomp

    If you deal physical damage, back off after his Chomp (Q): it steals some of your attack damage for a few seconds, and he gains it.

  3. Get away from his pillar fast

    Get away from Pillar of Ice (E) as fast as you can: it slows nearby enemies and blocks the path while it stands.

  4. Back off when he steals your resists

    Back off when he casts Subjugate (R) on you: he steals part of your armor and magic resist, and gains what you lose.
