Introduction

Xbalanque is a very fast and agile ADC. He isn't a very great laner,early in the game. However, mid and late game, Xbal pushes through and can be the shifting tide in the battle.

This is my first guide,and i realize it won't be perfect(or fufill every players needs)
Therefore, i will gladly take any constructive criticism. I will take all this into account and edit this guide so that it will be a great guide for Xbal.
(if anyone knows a thing or to about making guides, can you take the time to help me out?)

Reason to the choice in build

I tend to build Xbalanque to be just the biggest attack damage god to be out in the battleground. This makes him pose as a very big threat to just about any character.

While writing out this build, i am unfamiliar with inputting the items into the Chapter so that the item will show. Therefore, i will just write them out by hand.(will edit when i have fully learned how to write guides)

1.Warrior Tabi I mean really? who wouldn't? an alternative would be Ninja tabi if you are in a situation where your team is depending on your ult to make game changing differences(and your team needs a lot of these game changers)

2.Devourer's Gauntlets make a very long lasting effect when you are laning. You will sustain very well and you will make a very good amount of AD and Life steal.

3.Qin's Sais are just an item that seems to be a neccesity(not sure if i spelled correctly) for any god that deals AD. Why? well just look at what it does. It's just meant for any AD god

4.Hastened Fatalis is just what i tend to use instead of Frostbound Hammer. With this, you can just be stealing life, and doing serious damage to your opponent, while running in circles around him, making him look like a carousel.

5.Rage is PERFECT with Hastened Fatalis because it gurantees a crit. these two items are like the "hip" and "hop" (that was terrible) Now, when your carouseling around an enemy god, that god just got on the Carousel of DEATH >:D

6.DeathBringer 20% crit chance plus another 50%? What more could u possibly want? (more ADC gods?)

Skills

1.Dead of Night is a very useful passive. it gives a permanent buff for every god kill (max. 6 stacks with)

2.Branching Bola is a skill where it adds bonus damage to your basic attacks. When your basic attack hits an enemy, it splits into two (hence branching) and flies into a 45° angle.

3.Poison Darts can be used to poke enemies in lane and to harrass the enemy ADC and support. It also allows for Rising Jaguar to do 20% extra damage. This effect can hit an enemy max of 3 hits with the 2nd and 3rd hit doing 30% damage. To land the 2nd and 3rd hit, players must know how Xbalanque shoots his darts out in a cone.Therefore if you can position this attack correctly, you can make the most out of this ability.

4.Rising Jaguar is used as an escape, and finishing blow. While using this ability, you are immune to CC while in the air (YAAAAAYYYY). Sadly, you cannot jump over walls with this, meaning all those NFL jukes you thought of doing, just went down the drain.


5.Darkest of Nights
is what i believe to be one of the best ultimates that i have seen on a god. It covers the enemy screen, and it gives him a speed boost and gives him increased range on his basic attacks.It also starts a countdown on the enemy screen (while the screen is covered) and enemies moving on the end of the countdown are stunned for 1.5s. SWEET.

Pros / Cons

Pros
-Great late game push
-Universal ultimate that can change the tide in team fights
-High Damage
-Harass
-Ability and passive can give extra damage (Branching Bola and Dead of Night)
-High mobility

Cons
-Squishy
-hard to lane early game
-If you dont get the 6 kills, you're not really using the passive very well
-Very dependent on mana early game
-Suspectible to cc

I cannot critque the build, I'm no Xbal player, but your skill ordering is bad :l. Fluctuating between your 1-3 abilities? Tsk tsk. Your skill descriptions are very short and do not explain much. I'd say your pros and cons are alright.

Will downvote for obvious things missing
