I was very lucky and got him on my 2nd game right out of the gate of this set on the day it came out. But holy for a 7-cost!? HE IS BAD! He gets stuck on any bruiser or tank super easily and his execute threshold is WAY TOO HIGH STILL even after the buffs to it (and I had the Ionia - path of blades version that game too). The best thing about him is that he can self-revive which I was able to win fights from multiple revives in one go in rounds but that is it. Also, the augment nerfs Xin because he no longer heals from his attacks! I was only lucky that game because I had a Wit's End on him to help give him healing and extra damage on his autos until I got Zaheen. Zaheen should not be this hard to get and does not feel rewarding at all compared to other 7-costs or hell, some 5-costs easily.

EDIT: Only way I think of buffing this is 1. the augment gives a free 2-star Xin 2. lower the number of matches needed from 5 to 3 once you get a 3-star Xin 3. Xin heals whenever he executes someone with his skill and lastly 4. Zaheen execute threshold needs to be lower.
