So, I've been playing Xin a TON lately. He's quickly become a second main for me, right behind , and is currently filling the void where Sion's ultimate once was.

It seems like I enjoy playing champions that are, for lack of a better word, chameleons. They can be built in any way to fit any team comp.

Malphite can go AD, AP, or Full Tank, and be viable.

Xin is an incredible burst assassin with full AD, a straight up indominable wall when built for full health and armor/MR, and a regenerating zombie when built AP.

So, I'd love to hear your comments. What's the best way to build him?

This was my latest match, a failed attempt at going full tank (I added the rageblade because my team was falling behind in damage output at the very end) http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1710783034/212207004?tab=overview

if atmas was still in the game id say go with health. but sadly its gone. I saw this one xin carry hard. he had devourer phantom dancer botrk hydra spirit visage mercs. i guess he lacked some armor (except for ult) but he could 100 to 0 anyone so fast. but it was low elo. here's the match history he went 21-12 he ran armor pen marks his glyphs were quite strange however http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1702645846/38944781?tab=overview lol he didnt even use merc went with zerker boots this xin was nuts (makes sense since enemy had a lot of attackspeed slow)

try this i just came up with it http://www.lolking.net/guides/329272

Attack speed is far more valuable than straight AD (Like BT) because his ratio's aren't exactly great for it and he relies more on auto's to do his combo.
