Mai Shiranui

• Clone ability baits out enemy skills before the real burst combo.
• Ultimate deals heavy damage while creating another clone to confuse targeting.
• Strong pick potential against enemies who target the wrong clone.

• Passive · Ninja Bee — Every 5 seconds, her first basic attack releases a bee in her facing direction for bonus magic damage and a knockback, restoring energy on hit; casting a skill lets her roll a short distance and gain a decaying move-speed burst. Her 1 and 2 restore energy on hit, and her ultimate restores energy per enemy hit.
• 1 · Flying Dragon Flame Formation — Kicks upward into the air, dealing magic damage and a 0.75-second launch to enemies in range.
• 2 · Flower Butterfly Fan — Throws her fan, dealing magic damage and a 90% slow to the first target hit, plus a magic-defense shred for 3 seconds; restores energy on hit.
• Ultimate · Final Blow: Ninja Bee — Charges forward, dealing magic damage and a knockback to enemies hit, while shredding their physical attack for 2.5 seconds.

Build 1: Godslayer's Tome → Boots of Resistance → Echo Staff → Mask of Anguish → Scholar's Wrath → Staff of Nothingness

Tip: Mai Shiranui struggles to clear waves, so Echo Staff's passive helps her clear quickly; as an assassin-mage, item passive procs also add to her burst, making each combo hit even harder.

Build 2: Boots of Calmness → Godslayer's Tome → Echo Staff → Scholar's Wrath → Radiant Moon → Staff of Nothingness

Tip: Boots of Calmness give her more flexibility as she weaves around the fight, and Radiant Moon adds extra room to operate.

Inscriptions: Nightmare, Mercy, Reincarnation

Tip: Ability power lets her deal real damage in the early-to-mid game; since she has no mana bar, spell vamp cuts down her trips back to base significantly, and cooldown reduction improves her poke — all paired with her passive to maximize damage output or a clean getaway.
