Xin Zhao

Notes

• The healing and bonus damage work on different stacking systems, each counting its stacks and being consumed separately. While both stack on-hit, the bonus damage stacks are consumed on-attack, and the healing ones on-hit.
• The healing stacks are denoted in the buff-bar.
• If Guinsoo's Rageblade were to trigger when the stacks are at maximum, they will grant the healing but not the bonus damage, thus causing an out-of-sync between the stacks shown in-game versus when the bonus damage is dealt.
• Only the initial slash of can generate a Determination stack. Slashes after the first do not count for stack generation.
• The stack counter displays 1–3 rather than the usual 0–2, meaning that a count of 1 does not translate to having 1 stack.
• Stacks reset when Xin Zhao dies.
• Stacks of Determination will be gained even if the attack is blocked.
• : Determination's interaction with parrying effects (dodge, blind).
• Determination deals proc damage.
• Since it is a separate instance of damage when applied by basic attack or either of strikes, flat damage reduction that applies to both the main and bonus damage such as passive will reduce each, for twice the reduction.
• The bonus damage cannot critically strike.
• When applied by a basic attack:
• The attack uses a unique animation.
• The bonus damage benefits from life steal.
• It applies life steal specifically.
• Neither the bonus damage or heal will be blocked by spell shield.
• When applied by :
• Triggers against the closest target struck by the first slash/thrust (equals first target to receive spell effects).
• Does not benefit from life steal, including not healing from Wind Becomes Lightning's 33% conversion for this bonus damage.
• Since proc damage is 'single target', Vamp will heal from 100% of the bonus damage.
• The bonus damage will be blocked by spell shield, the heal will not.
• Spell shield will block the mark application from , but not from basic attacks and .
