Cirrus Skills

Passive: Through the Clouds

At level 4, Cirrus gains the ability to fly, bypassing terrain obstacles. His Basic Attacks generate Breath, increasing his Movement Speed by up to 60, though it drains rapidly. When attacking enemies with Basic Attacks or skills, he applies Gouge stacks, dealing physical damage based on the target’s max Health and Cirrus’s bonus Physical Attack. Enemies take continuous damage while moving, with a maximum of 5 stacks. Stationary targets take reduced damage, while jungle monsters and minions take full damage regardless of movement.

Skill 1: Cloud Descending

• Effect: Charges forward, gaining 60% Movement Speed. Cirrus then dashes, gaining a shield that absorbs 300 (+100% extra Physical Attack) damage and dealing 200 (+80% extra Physical Attack) physical damage to enemies hit, stunning them for 0.5 seconds. If he hits a hero, he can jump backward. Canceling the charge refunds 20% cooldown.
• Cooldown: 10 seconds

Skill 2: Razor Wind

• Effect: Throws wind blades, dealing 150 (+50% extra Physical Attack) physical damage twice and slowing enemies by 20% for 1 second. For 4 seconds, Cirrus gains 25% Attack Speed, and his Basic Attacks unleash three razor-sharp feathers that deal increasing physical damage with each strike.
• Cooldown: 10 seconds

Ultimate: Soaring Whirlwind

• Effect: Gains 30% damage reduction for a short time and lifts a target hero into the air, becoming untargetable and removing crowd control effects. Upon landing, deals 360 (+120% extra Physical Attack) physical damage, launching the target for 0.5 seconds. Damage increases based on Gouge stacks. Cirrus’s flying speed scales with level. If no enemy is nearby, he still deals damage upon landing.
• Cooldown: 45 seconds
