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

Lore

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 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

  • Zhin's kill taunt against Ying "I haven't forgotten about you." (▶️) 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 splash art, though oddly isn't shattered. This was later revealed to be an error here, as the moon shattered a long long time ago.
  • Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall, it was discovered that Zhin would be around 6'1 or 186cm tall.

  • Zhin's emote "Kindle" could be a reference to the bonfires from the Dark Souls series.
  • The line "Let the Bodies hit the floor!" (▶️). This 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.

  • 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.
  • In older versions of Paladins, there used to be a number of additional recolors of default champions. For Zhin, these recolors included the Warlord skin.
  • 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.

  • Zhin nomad smallNomad
  • A nomad is a person without a fixed home, often wandering from place to place.
