Ability
Description
Leveling up
Three Talon Strike
(Active): Xin Zhao prepares to unleash a fearsome combo, causing his next 3 standard attacks to deal bonus damage with the final attack knocking his opponent into the air.
Cost: 30 mana.
Physical Damage: 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 (+1.2 total attack damage)
Cooldown: 9 / 8 / 7 / 6 / 5 seconds
Three Talon Strike is a autoattack modifier that causes Xin Zhao's next 3 autoattacks to deal bonus physical damage, and the third attack to cause a knockup effect on the attacked target for 1 second. Every enhanced attack will also reduce all of his other abilities' cooldowns by 1 second.
If Xin Zhao is blinded while using Three Talon Strike, his attacks will count as misses, and not deal any damage
Attacking while having the blind debuff will also consume the stacks
Even if Xin Zhao is blinded, he can still activate the knockup effect of Three Talon Strike
Three Talon Strike can critically strike, but only the basic attack part gets multiplied.
Three Talon Strike changes Xin Zhao's attack animation, and as a result, the attack speed during the ability would be slightly faster than usual.
Three Talon Strike will affect turrets, dealing extra damage. The third hit's knockup is not applied.
Inhibitors and the Nexus will not be affected by the bonus damage and will not consume the enhanced stacks, but will still reset Xin Zhao's autoattack timer
Three Talon Strike resets Xin Zhao's autoattack timer on cast.
Three Talon Strike's cooldown will not begin until it expires.
Due to this, Three Talon Strike does not reduce its own cooldown.

Self Heal: 25 / 31 / 37 / 43 / 50 (+0.7 per ability power)
Battle Cry passively heals Xin Zhao every third basic attack. When activated, Battle Cry is a self-target ability that increases Xin Zhao's attack speed.
Battle Cry has no cast time and does not interrupt Xin Zhao's previous orders.
Battle Cry's passive heal will count and trigger on attacks upon enemy structures.
