Our Pro Xin Zhao Jungle Path was analyzed from multiple challenger replays and it features a full clear that starts with Xin Zhao killing Red Buff with (W) WIND BECOMES LIGHTNING. After killing the Red Buff and reaching level two, you can unlock (E) AUDACIOUS CHARGE which results in two AoE damage dealing abilities. This makes your Krugs and Raptor camp clear really quick. These grant you level three, unlock (Q) THREE TALON STRIKE, after which you will path towards the Blue Buff side of the jungle to clear Murk Wolves, Blue Sentinel and the Gromp. These get you to level four so go ahead and upgrade (W) WIND BECOMES LIGHTNING. Now kill the Rift Scuttler and any enemy trying to duel you, after which you can proceed to gank one of the lanes connected to the river.
This is a great and relatively easy Xin Zhao jungle clear, and it's highly modular which is why pro players love it. Can start leashless raptors, as well as do an early lvl three gank by going Raptors → Red Brambleback → Krugs → Bot/Top lane gank.
