<small>This is Zhin's official bio currently found in his champion page in-game.</small>
  +
  +
  +
Robbed of his noble lineage, Zhin ruthlessly carved out his own throne atop the criminal underworld. By the time he was a man, he'd won the loyalty of enough thieves, assassins, and corrupt bureaucrats to build his own shadowy empire: the [[Thousand Hands Guild]].
  +
  +
Anyone scheming against him has a tendency to vanish in the middle of the night, while those who confront him directly meet their doom at the end of his wicked flaming sword. He once refused to pick a side, as it was easier to make profit from the conflict.
  +
  +
But with the [[Resistance]] gone, and the Guild stronger than ever, he can meet the [[Magistrate]] head-on and exact revenge against [[House Aico]] & the [[Grand Magister]] who took it all from him.

  +
<small>This is an unofficial version of Zhin's bio intended to more clearly present all currently known information regarding him. Sources can be found [[Updated Bios|here]].</small>
  +
  +
  +
Though robbed of his noble lineage, Zhin would carve out his own throne in the criminal underworld, gaining the loyalty of enough thieves, assassins, and corrupt bureaucrats to form his shadowy empire the [[Thousand Hands Guild|Thousand Hands]].
  +
  +
At some point, Zhin would come across a nameless street-rat who was brave enough to challenge him. This impressed Zhin, and he took the boy in, giving him a new life, a new family, and his new name: [[Koga]].
  +
  +
But, due to jealousy, false evidence and lies would be spread about Koga, which Zhin believed, enraging him to the point Koga was forced to flee. Though Koga would later return for revenge, and come to battle with Zhin and [[Skye]], the outcome of this fight is unknown.
  +
  +
At another point, he would assist [[Androxus]] in a fight against [[Lex]] and [[Maeve]].
  +
  +
He later accompanied [[Atlas]] and a group of other champions into the [[Shattered Desert]] to face [[Yagorath]].
  +
  +
Following [[House Aico]] gaining leadership of the Magistrate, Zhin created the [[Resistance#New_Resistance|New Resistance]] to supposedly fight against this injustice, though this seems to just be an act, with his true goals more nefarious in nature.

*Zhin's kill taunt against [[Ying]] "I haven't forgotten about you." (<sm2>DarkLord TR Taunt Directed ying 1.ogg</sm2>) implies Zhin may be the "bandit king" that imprisoned Ying, as mentioned in her bio.
 
  +
*The moon is present in the background of Zhin's [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EafAzxGX0AAFmq4.jpg splash art,] though oddly isn't shattered. This may indicate the shattering of the moon is a recent event.
 
  +
*Though it's a popular theory that Zhin is the "bandit king" that imprisoned [[Ying]], and that she was rescued by [[Sha Lin]], it is only that, a theory, and isn't canon unless officially confirmed. When a developer was asked about it, they only gave a vague answer that didn't hint one way or the other.<ref>[[:File:Zhin, Ying, and Sha Lin.png]]</ref>
  +
*Only Zhin knows how many members are in the [[Thousand Hands Guild|Thousand Hands]].<ref>[[:File:Tip Thousand Hands Members.png]]</ref>
  +
*It's implied Vatu had something to do with how Zhin (and possibly others of the Thousand Hands) learned some of his abilities, though he wasn't explicitly the teacher.<ref>[[:File:Vatu and Zhin.png]]</ref>
  +
*The moon is present in the background of Zhin's [[:File:Zhin Default Promo.jpg|splash art]] though oddly isn't shattered. This was later revealed to be an error.<ref>[[:File:When the Moon Shattered.png]]</ref>
  +
*Based on a [[:File:ViktorHeight.png|dev statement]] revealing [[Viktor]] to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall and comparing it to model sizes [https://www.reddit.com/r/Paladins/comments/f7dnc3/updated_champions_height_irl/ in-game] and [[:File:ChampionHeights3.png|out of game]], it was discovered that Zhin would be around 6'2 or 188cm tall.

Zhin ▶️ is a Flank Champion in Paladins, added on June 14th, 2017.

Lore[ | ]

This is Zhin's official bio currently found in his champion page in-game.


Robbed of his noble lineage, Zhin ruthlessly carved out his own throne atop the criminal underworld. By the time he was a man, he'd won the loyalty of enough thieves, assassins, and corrupt bureaucrats to build his own shadowy empire: the Thousand Hands Guild.

Anyone scheming against him has a tendency to vanish in the middle of the night, while those who confront him directly meet their doom at the end of his wicked flaming sword. He once refused to pick a side, as it was easier to make profit from the conflict.

But with the Resistance gone, and the Guild stronger than ever, he can meet the Magistrate head-on and exact revenge against House Aico & the Grand Magister who took it all from him.

This was Zhin's in-game bio prior to the Desert Omens update. It's no longer considered canon.

This is an unofficial version of Zhin's bio intended to more clearly present all currently known information regarding him. Sources can be found here.


Though robbed of his noble lineage, Zhin would carve out his own throne in the criminal underworld, gaining the loyalty of enough thieves, assassins, and corrupt bureaucrats to form his shadowy empire the Thousand Hands.

At some point, Zhin would come across a nameless street-rat who was brave enough to challenge him. This impressed Zhin, and he took the boy in, giving him a new life, a new family, and his new name: Koga.

But, due to jealousy, false evidence and lies would be spread about Koga, which Zhin believed, enraging him to the point Koga was forced to flee. Though Koga would later return for revenge, and come to battle with Zhin and Skye, the outcome of this fight is unknown.

At another point, he would assist Androxus in a fight against Lex and Maeve.

He later accompanied Atlas and a group of other champions into the Shattered Desert to face Yagorath.

Following House Aico gaining leadership of the Magistrate, Zhin created the New Resistance to supposedly fight against this injustice, though this seems to just be an act, with his true goals more nefarious in nature.

This was Zhin's in-game bio prior to the The Damned Frontier update. It's no longer considered canon.


Robbed of his noble lineage, Zhin ruthlessly carved out his own throne atop of the criminal underworld. By the time he was a man, he'd won the loyalty of enough thieves, assassins, and corrupt bureaucrats to build his own shadowy empire: the Thousand Hands guild. Anyone scheming against him had a way of vanishing in the middle of the night, while those who confronted him directly met their doom at the end of his wicked flaming sword.

He refuses to pick a side in the war, as there's more profit to be made playing them against each other.

Summary[ | ]

Zhin is a flank champion that excels at dueling his opponents at close range. He attacks with his Inferno Blade, which flings burning oil at his foes. His Counter and Billow skills are built to outplay opponents and punish their mistakes. Whirl's short cooldown allows it to be used in a defensive and offensive manner. Zhin's ultimate skill, Spite, renders both the target and himself completely immobile for a short duration, making it a risky but powerful tool for taking out important targets. Zhin does, however, suffer from limited mobility and has a lackluster performance when fighting at distance when compared to most other flankers. He also has a low damage potential, a high amount of downtime between abilities, and low sustainability. Zhin can be effective in lower level play, but struggles in more competitive settings due to his downsides.

Trivia[ | ]


Lore

  • Though it's a popular theory that Zhin is the "bandit king" that imprisoned Ying, and that she was rescued by Sha Lin, it is only that, a theory, and isn't canon unless officially confirmed. When a developer was asked about it, they only gave a vague answer that didn't hint one way or the other.[1]
  • Only Zhin knows how many members are in the Thousand Hands.[2]
  • It's implied Vatu had something to do with how Zhin (and possibly others of the Thousand Hands) learned some of his abilities, though he wasn't explicitly the teacher.[3]
  • The moon is present in the background of Zhin's splash art though oddly isn't shattered. This was later revealed to be an error.[4]
  • Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall and comparing it to model sizes in-game and out of game, it was discovered that Zhin would be around 6'2 or 188cm tall.


Cameos

Zhin appears in the following content:


References

  • Zhin's emote "Kindle" is a reference to the bonfires from the Dark Souls series.
  • The line "Let the bodies hit the floor!" (▶️) is a reference to the song "Bodies" by Drowning Pool.
  • One of his jokes "Appear weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak, which for you is always." (▶️) is a reference to Sun Tzu's The Art of War.


Other

  • The icon for the Talent Guillotine shares the same artwork as the icon for Spite.
  • The icon for the Talent Smolder shares the same artwork as the icon for Billow.
  • Zhin and Koga's base footstep sounds originated from a cat's stomach being rubbed.
  • In older versions of Paladins, there used to be a number of additional recolors of default champions. For Zhin, these recolors included the Greed and Warlord skins.
  • Having been present in the mobile game 'Paladins Strike', Zhin received unique skins exclusive to Strike. These skins include Ice Lord Zhin and Ronin Zhin.


Champion Skins

  • Zhin Collection Render Nomad Icon Nomad
    • A nomad is a person without a fixed home, often wandering from place to place.



  • Zhin Collection Render Demon Slayer Icon Demon Slayer
    • Soul Eater Jenos is present in this skin's splash art.
    • This skin, as well as Soul Eater Jenos by extension, both had various unused splash art concepts prior to their final compositions being settled on.[5]


  • Zhin Collection Render Conqueror Icon Conqueror
    • The line "It's too dangerous to go alone." (▶️) is a reference to a line spoken in the original Legend of Zelda.
    • Similarly to the Ebon Star skin, prior to the removal of the Parts and Pieces system, this skin's helmet could be removed, revealing a unique face texture; however, with the removal of the system, this face texture can no longer be seen.
    • This skin's splash art appears as a spray.




  • Zhin Collection Render Kazu Icon Kazu
    • This skin is part of the third set of crossover content alongside the rest of the gen:LOCK Crossover Pass following Grover and Team Fortress 2 Barik.
    • This is the only skin to speak completely in another language, in this case, Japanese.
    • As expected, this skin contains numerous references to gen:LOCK.
      • Many lines mention or reference various aspects of the gen:LOCK Program, such as Holons.
      • The lines "Shall we upgrade the Robo Shogun?" (▶️) and "Thanks for the Robo Shogun." (▶️) both reference Kazu's Holon specifically. The latter line also references how Cammie is responsible for the designs of the later Holons in the series.
      • The line "I'll tell you what I said to my superiors in Japan before they busted me down: I don't fight simply because someone told me to." (▶️) references a line spoken by Kazu in Episode 3 of the series.
      • The line "If I were 10 years old, I would jump in excitement." (▶️) references a line spoken by Kazu in Episode 7.
      • Many lines also mention The Union, the main antagonistic group of the series.
    • Kazu appears in the Chibi Kazu avatar alongside his Holon, with the latter also appearing in the Shogun spray. The Grappler spray is also themed after him.
    • This skin shares its theme with Chase Viktor, Yasamin Lex, Cammie Maeve, and Valentina Kinessa.
