Tips & Tricks
- Xin Zhao turns into Zaahen after 5 combats of having him 3 starred (so you’ll usually have Zaahen at some point in Stage 5).
- Currently 2 main versions: Ionia or Demacia. The Demacia version is currently performing better.
- The 3 Emblems are just to fix the traits (Zaahen gets Xin Zhao’s traits as long as Xin Zhao is not on the board, but the website doesn’t account for that so the emblems are a workaround). The guide is not recommending the emblems.
- The Prismatic augment (Trials of Twilight II) is worse than the Gold augment in Patch 16.5.
- Blue Buff is a strong item on Xin Zhao (before he upgrades to Zaahen) and is good on Lux later, so consider slamming it if you have a surplus of tears

Economy Strategy
- Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.
- Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.
- Level to 6. Roll until stable. “Stable” changes depending on rank, items, augments, composition, and patch, but generally speaking it involves 2-starring your desired 2-cost carry and a tank with items. Major divergence between elos: The lower your elo, the less upgrades you need to be “stable” and thus lower elo players should generally roll less than high elo players on 3-2.
- After your 3-2 rolldown, you should attempt to rebuild your economy to 50g.
- Once you reach 50g (it might be later than 3-5), start slow rolling down to ~52g each turn. Try to avoid rolling to exactly 50g as any unit you want to buy in shop will put you below 50g.
- If you are high HP relative to the lobby, continue slow rolling to 52g each turn. If you are lower HP, you should roll to hit your first 2-cost 3 star on 4-1 or 4-2. If you have to roll below 30g, your placement is usually capped at 3rd or 4th.
- If you are still high HP (70+), you can continue to slow roll. Otherwise, in the majority of cases, you should roll deep for your 3-stars here. If your HP is low, you can even go to 0 gold looking for your 3-stars. If you have your 3-stars and can afford to level to 7 with 10g+, do so.
- Level to 7 if you haven’t already.
- Level to 8 as soon as possible. This may not happen until 5-5 or in some games, stage 6.
- Level to 9 whenever possible. This is rare, but can happen in the games you have a chance of winning.
I don’t see why ToT II is worse ? The nerf seems pointless no ? You generally want to hit Xin 3 on stage 4, so that you have Zaahen on stage 5, so losing a duplicator on stage 5 doesn’t feel bad ?
I know it’s a very rare circumstance, but where would you rank Dragonguards as an augment with this comp?
lol this is worse in low em/dia elo since people will sac econ (lol wuts dat) to hold xins. couldnt hit xin3 after 4-4 roll down and fast 8th
yeah rolling 2 costs at lv8 no wonder🙄
This comp is as strong as your luck to roll xin in the shop. Seriously, it’s like saying you are skilled by winning the roulette at the casino.
Is this buggy? Like for real, every time I take this Augment, I barely hit uncontested Xin 3*.
why Loris instead of ornn or braum?
Worst comp ever
what is construct a companion good for in this comp??
acelerated galio
Trials of Twilight 2 isnt actually listed as a +2 condition despite being mentioned in the comments
brother this comp is atrociously bad unless u hit a rr augment to tempo early it straight up loses to the B base lines even when u hit bis and upgrades
this comp is not allowed to lose streak, u play tempo, lose stage 4 usually and get zaahen stage 5. u win early if u position correctly, dont edge him, play him middle with 2 upg tanks and u just win every fight
its the most broken comp since 2 patches LMAO
This trial of twighlight augment seems to drop Xinzhao droprate to fuckin 0,1% because everytime i run this comp, i waste 50 gold just to reroll xinzhao and only gain 1. SHIT COMP DONT PLAY THIS SHIT
unironically true like is it even my fault for going 8th when i roll 2 million gold and have 5 xins
Whenever I play this comp the whole lobby is going Demacia LOL
If equip Galio with an emblem, does it add to the sinergies?
I really think you need: 1 slammable item + xin zhao 2 on 2-1 to winstreak and econ/augment that lets you hit on 3-2 so you hit xin zhao 4-2 at the latest and you can bleed out for a top 4
got BIS on 2 star xin mad early and lost until i went 8th lol
this is such a horrible comp, ekko and sona reroll blow it out of the water with no augment needed
Demolish economy, hit*3 Xin, sacrifice first augument slot… A TIER????
“Just play when conditions are good” brother you barely see the god damn augument, you want me to play it only when I have like 3 xins from grubs or some shit, like 1/1000 games, do I not even play it this season then? I wait for the revival set maybe I get the conditions in the revival of set 16 ?
What is this fucking NASA life or death armaghedon can only be done in 1/100000000 universes Dr. Strange looks in the portal to tell me when I can play him.
FFS riot games fix your GAME, this is not lebron james dunking for 10 billion dollars, my friend is playing in diamond doing everything right and he can barely get top 4 wtf 7 COST 2 STAR BTW.
It’s not going to break the meta in high elo everyone will hold xin 2, they are not kindergartners, even the guys in diamond do it because demacia ziggs and sona reroll is just good and braindead to play and guess fcking what XIN is a demacian.
This is such a meme comp, at best u can scam a 3rd or 4th but with everyone holding Xin Zhao and Demacia units right now it’s nearly impossible to play this comp
xin zhao is an absolutely dogshit unit
Zaahen is insanely weak when you consider what it takes to get him. In the end he only carries 2 or 3 fights while someone else had 40 years to hit a 4 cost 3* unit and wins easily
Is scythe still a condition? Don’t see it in an option for builds
Ionia version, yas gets rerolled too
