Intro

First off, this is not a guide, just a build. The order of this build doesn't really matter, As long as there is some cooldown and ethereal staff in there fairly early, the rest is situational. I absolutely love Xing because he is so disruptive and gets away with being right in the heart of the action thanks to his passive. I generally play super aggressive with Xing for this reason. Just dive in and watch them flee in fear!

With this build my aim is to build massive health and then ethereal staff makes your damage huge as well. If you want to go more damage, opt for warlock's sash first or second item and build those stacks early! I usually throw in one magical and one physical defence item in too (ones with health to increase his damage where possible). Stone of gaia works well with his passive and mystical mail works well with my aggressive play style!

I hope you have fun with this build because I certainly do. Just get stuck in and annoy the S**t out of them!

Pros/Cons

Pros

+Very disruptive
+Great crowd control
+Big damage for a guardian
+Very hard to kill when built tanky

Cons

-Long cooldowns
-Beads shut down his ult
-Long wind-up time for his ult, gives people plenty time to run away (as can be seen in the video around 2.20)
-Slow

Video Example

Summary

This build has (in my opinion) the best of everything. He is both tanky and powerful, has good CC (+gem slow) and good sustain. Adjust according to your opponents and you can't go too far wrong!
Enjoy!

I love this build. I used it for my first time actually playing as Xing Tian, and went 9/2/26 with him. I had a great time using and would recommend to any beginner using him in arena.

Yeah, he lost a bit of damage, but he kept all his utility so he is still a really good god to have on your team. That's why he still gets banned.

Yeah, his damage was nerfed and if you compare him to how he was then yes he is underwhelming. I'm probably not the best person to ask about the specifics but I level his 1 first because it is a cheaper damage than his 2 - His 2 (if you land both hits) is better damage but costs more mana and has a longer cooldown. I leave it with just one point in it and use it as a utility ability over damage until end game. I know what you mean though, he has lost his potency. He is still 1st picked/banned during the SWC this year though so he can't be that bad!

So question lew, loved xing upon release especially the hook slam. Secured plenty of kills with it for myself and others. Well o saw it was nerfed. Didn't seem like much but I tried him again and he felt positively underwhelming, and underwhelming is how I feel about his other abilities. Is the breath really the best thing to level now? Does it do good damage? I know he's not a damage champ but I just felt like it did nothing previously even for flat percentage damage.

Summary

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
