Mozi

Mage

A defensive philosopher-mage who shields allies as readily as he burns enemies.

Strengths

  • Shield ability protects a diving ally through incoming burst.
  • Ultimate deals damage in an area while shielding nearby allies.
  • High utility makes him a strong pick for coordinated teams.

Abilities

  • Passive · Universal Love, Against Aggression — His fourth consecutive basic attack becomes a cannon blast for magic damage and a launch; casting a skill grants a stacking shield (up to 3 stacks).
  • 1 · Peaceful Stroll — Pilots his mech forward for magic damage to enemies in the path, and empowers his next basic into a cannon blast.
  • 2 · Mechanized Artillery — Fires a shell in a direction that explodes on hitting an enemy for magic damage and a 1-second stun, leaving a crater that deals magic damage every half-second for 4 seconds.
  • Ultimate · Steadfast Principles — Deploys an energy barrier that deals magic damage every half-second and stuns enemies who touch it, for up to 3.3 seconds.

Recommended Build

Build 1: Holy Grail → Boots of Calmness → Echo Staff → Mask of Anguish → Scholar's Wrath → Staff of Nothingness

Tip: His long skill range pairs well with Holy Grail's sustain, letting him poke freely without worrying about mana, while Echo Staff helps him clear waves safely.

Build 2: Holy Grail → Boots of Calmness → Mask of Anguish → Scholar's Wrath → Staff of Nothingness → Sage's Codex

Tip: Mozi's specialty is poke — pouring all his gold into damage massively raises the threat he poses.

Recommended Inscriptions

Inscriptions: Nightmare, Mercy, Hunt

Tip: Nightmare's magic attack and penetration, paired with his naturally high ability power, let him clear waves and poke fast; Hunt speeds up his passive's cannon-blast procs, and Mercy's 10% cooldown reduction shortens his skill downtime.

Hero Relationships

Best with: Guiguzi, Musashi Counters: Huang Zhong, Liu Shan Countered by: Xiang Yu, Mulan

Team Composition
