Xin Zhao
Abilities
- Notes
- Stacks reset when Xin Zhao dies.
- Determination II deals proc damage.
- Since it is a separate instance of damage when applied by basic attack or either of Wind Becomes Lightning's strikes, flat damage reduction that applies to both the main and bonus damage such as Amumu's Tantrum's passive will reduce each, for twice the reduction.
- The bonus damage cannot critically strike.
- Since it is a separate instance of damage when applied by basic attack or either of
- When applied by a basic attack:
- The attack uses a unique animation.
- The bonus damage benefits from life steal.
- PENDING FOR TEST It applies life steal specifically.
- When applied by either of Wind Becomes Lightning's strikes:
- Triggers against the closest target struck by the strike (equals first target to receive spell effects).
- Does not benefit from life steal, including not healing from Wind Becomes Lightning's 33% conversion for this bonus damage.
- Since proc damage is 'single target', Vamp will heal from 100% of the bonus damage.
- The Determination II stacks are not visible on the champion's buff bar in-game.
- Hitting one or more enemies with Wind Becomes Lightning's strikes generates one stack per strike.
- If Guinsoo's Rageblade would trigger when the Determination II stacks are at maximum, the bonus stack will instead overstack, and be consumed on the next Determination II usage.
- Stacks of Determination will be gained even if the attack is blocked.
- PENDING FOR TEST: Determination's interaction with parrying effects ( dodge, blind).
- Notes
- Spell shield will only block the third attack.
- The enhanced attacks present input buffering during their wind-up animation (Xin Zhao cannot be issued any commands until after it ends).
- Notes
- Spell shield will block only a single instance of damage - either the thrust or the slash.
- The first strike will occur immediately and the second will occur after the cast time completes.
- Wind Becomes Lightning's first strike will always cast from the original casting position, whereas the second strike will cast from wherever Xin Zhao is at the end of the cast time.
- Because Wind Becomes Lightning uses an older type of 'healing based on life steal' and not applies life steal, Spirit Visage will amplify the life gain twice (+25% life steal and +25% healing), for a total of +56.25%.
- The in-game tooltip of this ability currently lists the thrust scaling as AP*, but it still only scales with total AD.
- Notes
- The primary target cannot dodge Audacious Charge's effects.
- The target will always emit the area of effect from their position.
- Notes
- Pets, traps, ground AoEs, DoTs, and delayed-damage abilities (e.g. Death Mark, Explosive Charge, Hemoplague) will not damage Xin Zhao if the enemy champion source is outside the circle when the damage applies.
- Crescent Guard will cast from wherever Xin Zhao is at the end of the cast time.
- Enemies will not be marked as Challenged if Crescent Guard has not been learned. Learning the ability after an enemy would have been marked will still cause them to be knocked back.
