Xin Zhao
GameplayXin Zhao is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- The stack counter displays 1–3 rather than the usual 0–2, meaning that a count of 1 does not translate to having 1 stack.
- Wind Becomes Lightning's generates one stack per strike that hits at least one enemy.
- Stacks reset when Xin Zhao dies.
- Stacks of Determination will be gained even if the attack is blocked.
- 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 : Determination's interaction with parrying effects ( dodge, blind).
- Determination 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.
- 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).
Challenged for 3 seconds.
- 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.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.
- The first strike will occur from wherever Xin Zhao is at the start of the cast time.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- The second strike will occur from wherever Xin Zhao is at the end of the cast time.
- The first strike's hitbox includes a 275 radius 160° cone in front of Xin Zhao and an additional 125 radius around him.
- The second strike's hitbox includes the same 125 radius around Xin Zhao, a missile with 1000 range and 80 total width, and a -60 radius area check upon the end of the missile.
- The 125 radius check does not hit champion summoned units.(bug)
- 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%.
- 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.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- Displacement immunity will also resist the application of the stun.
- 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.
Champion skins

Xin Zhao is a resolute warrior loyal to the ruling Lightshield dynasty. Once condemned to the fighting pits of Noxus, he survived countless gladiatorial bouts, but after being freed by Demacian forces, he swore his life and allegiance to these brave liberators. Armed with his favored three-talon spear, Xin Zhao now fights for his adopted kingdom, audaciously challenging any foe, no matter the odds.

- Xin Zhao is rendered, in Chinese localization, as 赵信 Zhào Xìn [ʈ͡ʂau̯˥˩ ɕin˥˩], coincidentally the name of a Xiongnu general who temporarily defected to Han Chinese forces, though historical inspiration for Xin Zhao is evidently another Chinese general, Zhao Yun.
