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 Udyr

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his stun

    Once Blazing Stampede (E) has stunned you, take your trade: he can't stun you again for a while.

  2. No CC while he's awakened

    If you have CC, don't use it when he awakens Blazing Stampede (E): he's immune to immobilizing effects then. Wait for the effect to end.

  3. Stay away from his storm

    Keep your distance from Wingborne Storm (R): it damages and slows nearby enemies every second, and once awakened, it follows the last enemy he hit.
