| I followed the call to build the Great Wall. |

| The city of Chang’an shall never forget me. |
| The million stars above the Great Wall are its permanent watch-keepers. |
| The winds of war have enveloped our world…Where are the kings and lords? |

| What a spectacle! |
| Your cluelessness would be entertaining… if it wasn’t so pitiful. |

| I wonder if a reincarnated soul has a better understanding of death. |
| Stranger, how can you let your homeland slip from your hands? |

How to play Li Xin?
Here are some tips you must consider to play and master Li Xin in Honor of Kings:
- He is good with slit push since he has damage to 1v1 enemy heroes and movement speed to get out of danger quickly. So, if you reckon you cannot do much in team fights, try to split.
- Try to stay behind and do the damage with your 2nd skill, and if there is a chance you can kill the enemy carry and get out, then go all in on the enemy carry.
- You must learn to camp or hide in the bush strategically and hold and release skills buttons.
- Don’t engage in the teamfight, as Li Xin is not tanky. Instead, select the suitable form and attack from the back row, targetting mage and marksman. During 1v1 Domination form works best.
