keep it on the dl, but

ghostblade -> iceborn gauntlet -> spirit visage is the perfect core on Xin right now.

wouldnt this build flow a bit better?

bruta -> sheen -> mercs -> gauntlet -> visage -> cleaver.

you don't overcap cdr with cleaver instead of ghostblade and you get your defensive items faster with this build because you stay on the allready highly costeffective brutalizer for a longer time.

purely offensive&expensive items like ghostblade/cleaver etc. are very luxury no?

please confirm

GB/IG/SV = 15 + 15 + 10 = 40% CDR
Ghostblade also adds a lot more sticking power to Xin than Cleaver does. He's only going to be hitting one person at a time with most of his stuff.

killing things = survivability (FACTS)

you also get damage, cc, 60 armor, and 50 MR. This seems like the most solid 3 items Xin can get. Do you go straight for completed items or piece it out?

you don't get overlap as tooplark pointed out.

also, bruta -> ghostblade >>>>>>>>>>> bruta -> sheen. ghostblade is insanely good on Xin and sheen proc vs. ghostblade active isn't even a competition in terms of early offensive output, especially with ghostblade's new CD.

flow can be altered as the game dictates, but I'd generally say the most you should do is add in chain/negatron and boots 2 to counter your lane opponent before getting back on the order I'm saying.

I'm guessing Boots 3 into bruta? How exactly do you start the build? Any dorans or any other life steal to start?

whatever you need for laning. I usually start boots + 3, but dblade/dshield have their places and you can follow up boots with doran's items if you need earlier power spikes than bruta. dshield with 21 defensive is really great vs. stuff like nid/teemo that attack you a ton for early lane pressure.

Ghostblade CD went from 60 seconds to 45 and it now always gives you 6 seconds of the buff which is very useful in practice for when you're getting kited.

Is the passive (unique t_t) of dshield applied before or after the armor reduction? If the masteries are any indication I'd say it's after, but just wanna make sure.

21/9/0 or 9/21/0 depending on matchup.

dshield passive is applied pre-reduction iirc.

...it's supposed to give 15% cdr. ghostblade's the one with 10% cdr.

anywho, sub out iceborn gauntlet for cleaver. it's league of true damage right now and so I actually feel better with the HP from cleaver over the armor from gauntlet sadly and cleaver is cheaper and trucks people harder.

no, sv = 15, gauntlet = 15, gb = 10, add em all up, you get 40

ghostblade is currently 10% cdr.
