Dharma

• Damage reduction while channeling lets him tank through burst windows.
• Ultimate hits like a duelist while keeping frontline durability.
• Strong 1v1 pressure for a hero built to hold the line.

• Passive · Mantra of the Heart — Casting a skill grants stacking mantra armor (up to 3 stacks, each +80 physical defense); a skill hit empowers his next two basic attacks into a double-punch combo with bonus attack speed and self-heal.
• 1 · Mantra of Emptiness — Charges forward with a heavy punch, dealing physical damage and launching enemies in the path, then gains a decaying speed burst if it hits.
• 2 · Mantra of the King — Rapidly throws five punches in a direction, each dealing physical damage and stacking a defense shred on the target (up to 5 stacks).
• Ultimate · Mantra of Salvation — Throws a massive punch that knocks enemies back in that direction for physical damage; anyone knocked into terrain takes damage again and is stunned. Successfully pinning an enemy against terrain lets him recast for a flying kick that deals bonus damage scaling with their missing HP.

Build 1: Pursuit Edge → Boots of Resistance → Shadow Battleaxe → Grandmaster's Might → Champion's Warplate → Famed Blade · Siming

Tip: Dharma's burst comes in rhythmic windows but leans heavily on his skills, so stack damage and aim to blow the enemy away in one combo.

Build 2: Boots of Resistance → Shadow Battleaxe → Grandmaster's Might → Famed Blade · Siming → Champion's Warplate → Witch's Cloak

Tip: His control has limited range, and he can get focused during his own burst window — a defensive item near the end of the build helps him finish the combo safely.

Inscriptions: Mutation, Hawkeye, Hunt

Tip: This set adds physical attack, armor penetration, move speed, and attack speed — the attack and penetration boost his skill and basic-attack damage while his kit shreds enemy armor further, move speed adds mobility, and attack speed helps him land his passive's bonus damage faster after casting.
