Xin Zhao was last buffed in Patch 6.2e (). Across 17 patches, Xin Zhao has received 11 buffs, 3 nerfs, 3 adjustments since release in Patch 1.0a.

Abilities
DeterminationWR
Passive - Determination

Innate: Xin Zhao's basic attacks on-hit generate a stack of Determination, stacking up to 3 times. The third stack consumes them all to deal 22% - 50% (based on level) AD bonus physical damage on-attack and heal Xin Zhao for 7 - 60 (based on level) (+ 10% AD) (+ 40% AP) on-hit.

Three Talon StrikeWR
Ability 1 - Three Talon Strike
Cost: 30 Mana
CD: 9 / 8 / 7 / 6
Cast Time: None

Active: Xin Zhao empowers his next three basic attacks on-attack within 5 seconds to each have an uncancellable windup, deal bonus physical damage and reduce his other abilities' current cooldowns by 1 second. Each attack refreshes the duration.

Bonus Physical Damage: 20 / 28 / 36 / 44 (+ 40% bonus AD)
Total Bonus Physical Damage: 60 / 84 / 108 / 132 (+ 120% bonus AD)

The third attack knocks up the target for 0.75 seconds.

Three Talon Strike resets Xin Zhao's basic attack timer.

Wind Becomes LightningWR
Ability 2 - Wind Becomes Lightning
Cost: 45 Mana
CD: 11 / 9.5 / 8 / 6.5
Cast Time: 0.65 - 0.4 (based on attack speed)

Active: Xin Zhao slashes in an arc and, after the cast time, thrusts his spear in a line in the target direction. Each strike deals physical damage to enemies hit, reduced to 50% against minions, and slows enemies hit by 50% for 1.5 seconds. The thrust deals increased damage and marks the farthest enemy champion or large monster hit as Challenged for 3.5 seconds, during which they are revealed.

Slash Physical Damage: 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 (+ 50% AD)
Minion Slash Damage: 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 (+ 25% AD)
Thrust Physical Damage: 40 / 85 / 130 / 175 (+ 75% AD)
Minion Thrust Damage: 20 / 42.5 / 65 / 87.5 (+ 37.5% AD)
Total Physical Damage: 80 / 135 / 190 / 245 (+ 125% AD)
Total Minion Damage: 40 / 67.5 / 95 / 122.5 (+ 62.5% AD)

When Wind Becomes Lightning is cast, the durations of Three Talon Strike, Audacious Charge bonus attack speed, and Crescent Guard are delayed by Wind Becomes Lightning's cast time.

Audacious ChargeWR
Ability 3 - Audacious Charge
Cost: 50 Mana
CD: 11
Cast Time: None

Active: Xin Zhao dashes to the target enemy's location, dealing magic damage to enemies near them and slowing them by 30% for 0.5 seconds. Audacious Charge's range is increased against Challenged targets.

Magic Damage: 55 / 90 / 125 / 160 (+ 80% AP)
Bonus Attack Speed: 45 / 52.5 / 60 / 67.5%

Xin Zhao then gains bonus attack speed for 5 seconds.

Three Talon Strike can be cast during the dash.

Crescent GuardWR
Ability 4 - Crescent Guard
Cost: 100 Mana
CD: 80 / 70 / 60
Cast Time: 0.35

Passive - Challenge: The last enemy champion hit by Xin Zhao's basic attacks or Audacious Charge is marked Challenged for 3 seconds.

Physical Damage: 75 / 150 / 225 (+ 100% bonus AD) (+ 80% AP) (+ 15% of target's maximum health)

Active: Xin Zhao sweeps his spear around him, dealing physical damage to nearby enemies, capped at 600 against monsters, and knocking back all non-Challenged targets hit over 0.5 seconds, as well as stunning them for the same duration.

For the next 5 seconds, Xin Zhao is invulnerable against enemy champions far away from him.

Patch 1.0aNew

Xin Zhao added to Wild Rift

The clear outlier from Patch 1.0, Xin Zhao’s pick rate and win rate are both very high. His full combo is sweeping foes off the map, and teammates can’t even touch him if he has his ultimate on. We’re nerfing his most important stat, Attack Damage, while also making him much squishier.
