Xing Tian Build

Sentinels support start

Notes This is the most used and consistent start for supports, xing tian is no exception to this hower.
This build will give you a lot more early pressure from the item as it is an agressive bridge item that xing procs really well.

Druid Stone

Healing Potion

Hand of the Gods

Notes This is a build you can go into if you don't want to buy early and instead want to rush and get it a lot quicker.

Sentinel's Gift

Glowing Emerald

Healing Potion

Hand of the Gods

Blink Rune

Sentinels support build

Notes This build is more heavily focused on peel than set up and you should stick with your backline carries if you are going to use this build.

As for a replacement for , and magi's blessing are all good options.

Sentinel's Embrace

Stone of Binding

Gauntlet of Thebes

Sovereignty

Winged Blade

Pridwen

Blink Rune

Heavenly Wings

Early thebes build build.

Notes This build is more focussed around set up than peeling, and will allow for your jungler or solo to instantly burst a squishy carry whilst is an incredibly strong item for xing due to it giving some much needed cdr and a helpful shield after he ults which will usually pop after he uses hook slam on the enemies he's blendered mid air.
If the enemy is planning on going crit make sure to substitute out for
For alternative items, and sovreingty are all good replacements.

Build Summary

Vampyric shrowd start (use against physicals

Notes Unlike the fighters build it is more focussed on sustain and not being poked out of lane, your lane clear will also suffer however you will have a much easier time living in lane and surviving ganks.

Vampiric Shroud

Chalice of Healing

Multi Potion

Blink Rune

Vampyric Shrowd Build

Notes This is a late game build which offers high sustain from blood soaked shroud and a lot of protections.

jade emporer's crown can be sold late game for and even

can also be swapped for witched blade or depending on the matchup

can be changed for if you have multiple auto attackers on your team.

if they are building crit swap for

Extended Build

axe start (against magicals)

Notes This build offers very little clear early on due to xing's relitively low base damages in lane, however you will still be really hard to kill due to the protections, hp and sustain on axe/your passive.
You should go this against a magical as vampyric shroud gives no magical protections]]

could also be

Warrior's Axe

Chalice of Healing

Hand of the Gods

Blink Rune

warrior's axe Full build

Notes If you started with tainted steal then upgrade to .
Once you reach full build you will want to sell for an alternative late game option, the best options for this are if you're looking to do a little more damage, or if you want to be a little tankier and have that higher HP value.
chronos pendant can be swapped for
As for situational items, and / are all helpful.
This build is generally a higher DPS build for xing and will allow him to do ok damage from solo whilst still being very tanky.

Sundering Axe

Stone of Binding

Mystical Mail

Void Stone

Pridwen

Mantle of Discord

Blink Rune

Purification Beads

relics in solo

Notes Xing will still be one of the supports to use effectively due to his also being able to reduce enemy auto attack damage by a half.
You don't want to get teleport glyph as it will only hinder your late game and xing has enough sustain in the form of hp5 to get him through the early to the point where he doesn't need to back constantly.

Blink Rune

Purification Beads

Sundering Spear

Heavenly Wings

Shield of Thorns

Magic Shell

SPl solo build

Notes This is the build used in the spl for xing solo (which is currently performing really well due to the strength of ), you should sell late game as it offers very little when you don't play around waves.
can also swap for jade emporer's

Blood-Soaked Shroud

Tyrannical Plate Helm

Breastplate of Valor

Winged Blade

Genji's Guard

Mantle of Discord

Other solo items

Notes ALL ITEMS I HAVE NOT ALREADY PUT IN THE BUILDS WILL GO HERE

and are both alternate starters you can go if you want to focus on wave clear, however they are outshadowed by and

and are all late game pick ups you can go as a sell for or

was bought on xing in the spl, and whilst I don't think it's as good a pick up on him as say it's potentially viable on him as the passive procs on his first abilities %hp damage for 4 seconds.

is really strong if you can get it stacked quickly

and are both good against strong amounts of healing, same as

is good against crit hunters/junglers

is good against cc heavy teams

hero's axe is a defencive alternative to

Gem of Focus

Conduit Gem

Spear of the Magus

Spear of Desolation

Divine Ruin

Gem of Isolation

Hide of the Urchin

Pestilence

Contagion

Spectral Armor

Magi's Cloak

Axe of Animosity

Lanning phase (support)

Xing tian is incredibly good at setting up kills for his adc, his peel is exceptional aswell with the 50% auto attack damage reduction and a quick on demand knock up.
Use your ult for set up or peel and be careful with silences and roots, both of these are incredibly potent to xing tian.
Don't be afraid to fight in the early levels, you supply insane amounts of utility that can surprise the enemy.

Late game (support)

You can play xing tian as either a beads burner or someone who can combo off their team well,
Your team fight as a support is about peeling for your adc and mid lanners, xing tian can also work as a good back line diver with his ultimate and double jump.

Lanning phase (solo)

Xing tian is fairly weak without any items, usually you'll struggle to farm and fight until you get stone of gia and a defence item up as your built in sustain is fairly weak, when you get those items you can almost definitely fight your opponent and sometimes even the jungler, as long as you get past your weak itemless phase then you should do well.

Late game (solo)

You should aim to be as annoying as possible, back line dive, nuke a squishy then double jump out without a scratch, or you can aim to ult multiple people, you can use your ult for survivability if you wish.
Your passive and a stone of gia will still make you incredibly difficult to catch or kill and you can use your ult for the immunity frames to dodge 2 big hard hitting abilities.

Thank you for taking the time to read my xing tian guide, this is my first guide so if you would be kind enough to spare some feedback then that would be great.

Yo Blip,

Looks solid to me. One thing you might consider is level the 3 first, and possibly switch out the HoG for extra potions if you want more early sustain. The 3 has only a 1 second longer CD and deals higher level 1 damage with both leaps.

(2) |

thanks for the feedback, I've altered the level order but kept the potions as I just like hog for support too much, however I've also added a build to the solo part of the guide and a situational item tab

(394) |

Curious, typically do you hold all 3 void minions for the ADC to get extra farm, or do you kill the 2 smalls and just wait for the ADC to be near to finish the buff holder?

I personally aggro the camp when the adc starts walking to purple and I hog when they're in assist range, it minimises poke and still gives the adc enough farm to hit level 2 on the first wave, I always feel that without hog you just take too much poke.

(394) |

And that's where I see a bunch of different strats on this clear...as Kriega said, HoG camp and finish buff holder right when ADC gets in range. Depending on Supp god, when I play them, I've either accepted taking some initial damage and healing up w/ a potion while making sure all 3 were low for ADC to finish, or as you've just stated, starting on the camp once ADC is moving toward me so I minimize incoming damage and still allowing ADC to get full farm.

(143) |

If you're going Ymir or Ares you don't have to go HoG (not sure if I said this before recently, but just clarifying).

(394) |

In other threads yeah. I would lump Kuzen's triple bounce in there as well. Maybe Athena's 3 combo with the passive basic.

(2) |

Oh this is also a bit late, but I never feel like I need the extra sustain on xing from multi pots as his passive has hp5, so going hog is more beneficial

(394) |

Ahhh I forgot his passive, that makes sense too.

(143) |

You hold just the buff holder, and last hit it when they're in assist range. Also when you get to the wave if starting benevolence you need to last hit 1 minion so you can hit 2 from first wave.

The support part of this guide is hot, gg 💪🏻

Thank you :D
