Skills
Spear Will – Sweeping Fire (Passive)
Ying channels her divine spear, Sweeping Fire, gaining Spear Intent stacks when using skills. Basic attacks consume these stacks to trigger different Spear Intent skills:
- 1 Stack: Stalwart Peacemaker (Close-range)
- 2 Stacks: Zealous Devastation (Mid-range)
- 3 Stacks: Zenith Wildfire (Long-range)
Bonus: Spear Intent skills reduce Moonslash & Cloudchaser cooldowns by 1.5s.
Moonslash (Skill 1)
A forward thrust followed by an upward flick (0.5s knock-up) and downward slash, dealing physical damage. (Cooldown: 9s | Cost: 45)
Tip: Use this for crowd control and initiating combos.
Cloudchaser (Skill 2)
Charges forward, gaining movement speed. On release, Ying dashes, dealing damage and slowing enemies by 30% (1s). Longer charges = higher speed, distance, and damage. (Cooldown: 9s | Cost: 40)
Tip: Fully charge for maximum impact when chasing or escaping.
Starburn (Ultimate)
Ying dashes rapidly, damaging and knocking up enemies. She finishes with a powerful sweep, leaving a fire trail (3s damage-over-time). Grants damage reduction during use. (Cooldown: 35s | Cost: 100)
Tip: Ideal for multi-target control and burst damage.
