How to play
Li Xin is a Fighter strong at pushing lanes and 1-on-1 fights. At level 4 he can freely switch between his Dominator form and Vengeance form, and the cooldowns of his skills are shared across both forms.
In Dominator form, using a skill grants an enhanced Basic Attack. Skill 1 charges a forward dash while negating damage, Skill 2 releases sword energy to deal damage, and Skill 3 charges and negates damage while dealing damage with sword energy. In Vengeance form he gains additional Basic Attacks and a different effect on each skill. Vengeance form's Skill 1 charges a dash and grants immunity to Crowd Control. Skill 2 releases sword energy to deal damage, and Skill 3 summons a magic circle that, after a delay, deals damage to enemies in the area and knocks them up.
For your skill leveling, prioritize the Ultimate first, and at levels where the Ultimate isn't available yet, prioritize Skill 2.

Li Xin — Early / Mid / Late Game
Early game: Before level 4, hit enemies with Skill 2 to earn extra experience and quickly reach level 4 to unlock the Light/Dark forms.
Mid game: Light form harasses by weaving in enhanced Basic Attacks after skills (a hit reduces all skill Cooldowns by 1 second), and during Skill 1's charge it has Crowd Control resistance to dodge the enemy's Crowd Control. Dark form triggers equipment effects easily with Basic Attacks and excels at dealing with tanks thanks to high Attack Speed. Use Skill 3 to pin the enemy down and chain into your allies' Crowd Control.
Late game: Choose your form based on the enemy composition. If the enemy has many squishy backliners and your team lacks area damage, use Light form for team-fight damage; if the enemy has many tanks and a direct fight is unfavorable, use Dark form to push lanes and draw the enemy in. Light form ambushes from the brush by the wall, then escapes through the wall after wiping enemies, while Dark form harasses the enemy by pushing lanes.
