Items

The Builds are here so that you can somewhat know how to counter most mid laners.Now of course they could use tuning for your enemy.

Pros / Cons

PROS:Xbalanque is a hunter so he has good wave clear.
Xbalanque is a very good early-mid game character, So with a good gank you could win almost every fight with at least a kill.
Cons:Mages with high burst damage (janus,Thoth,and ah puch/more)can virtually kill you in short amounts of time.

Hi Myst,

If you're in Mid as Xbalanque, I think it's important that you rush your stacking item vs getting Boots first. I also think you're better served with Transcendence over Devourer's Gauntlet, which I would consider if I was ADC but not Mid.

Thing is, you want to be able to use Branching Bolas all the time for wave clear, and the mana from Trans will really help. In addition, the higher power from Trans is good for your ability damage, and you want to be able to use those abilities fairly often...that bit of CDR is helpful.

Then, when going Trans, crits aren't often best, as crits go along with a burst mentality. The thing that best emphasizes burst damage is a good AS steroid, and Xbal has none. His better direction then is power and pen, so a build direction that includes Qin's Sais is probably better.

Getting Berserker's Shield is probably a fun thing, but...just not the best item for him there, and definitely not as something you keep in a full build. It's a bridge item, meant to be sold late, and 15 physical protection is just not much of anything. If you really want that physical protection, your better bet would probably be Shifter's Shield.

Your build against a physical Mid is far from optimal. You should almost never build a solo crit item. Deathbringer by itself would serve you less well than if you got Qin's Sais for your overall DPS.

If you're set on getting crit, and you start with Wind Demon, Deathbringer should probably be your 2nd crit item, with Poisoned Star coming in last.

All this together, the optimal build path for Xbal as a standard example would probably be something like:
The Crusher could be sold late, or skipped altogether.

But overall, he's not the greatest choice for Mid in my opinion. His poke isn't very strong, and he has to get in closer to get good damage from his abilities, e.g. 3 hits from Poison Darts. I'd prefer going for Neith, Medusa, or others.
