Mulan

• Disguise lets her get free positioning before revealing and engaging.
• Ultimate hits an area hard after she closes the distance.
• Solid all-around stats let her flex between tank and frontline duelist.

• Passive · Great Wall Sentinel — With her light sword, she gains bonus move speed and her hits stack a Balance mark on enemy heroes; at 5 stacks it triggers for bonus physical damage plus a silence and heavy slow. With her heavy sword, basics attack slower but deal bonus physical damage, and casting skills grants hyper armor and damage reduction.
• 1 · Sundering Slash — Charges then slashes in a direction for physical damage; landing the hit allows a second cast within 5 seconds.
• 2 · Dance of Blades — Throws her light sword in a direction for physical damage, then it spins in place for 3 seconds, dealing repeated physical damage and a slow; picking the sword back up cuts this skill's cooldown.
• Ultimate · Blooming Blade — Draws her heavy sword and sweeps around herself, gaining damage reduction and dealing physical damage plus a large attack boost for 5 seconds; drawing the heavy sword switches her kit to its heavy-sword versions.

Build 1: Shadowstalker Boots → Shadow Battleaxe → Ominous Omen → Champion's Warplate → Witch's Cloak → Famed Blade · Siming

Tip: Her hyper armor while casting makes her immune to most crowd control, so Shadowstalker Boots adds even more tankiness; Shadow Battleaxe and Famed Blade · Siming's cooldown reduction let her reposition and chase more freely.

Build 2: Boots of Resistance → Shadow Battleaxe → Ominous Omen → Witch's Cloak → Star-Shattering Hammer → Demon's Wrath

Tip: Mulan takes a lot of damage while charging her ultimate — Demon's Wrath's healing procs right as she winds up, keeping her HP safe while boosting that charge's damage.

Inscriptions: Mutation, Hawkeye, Concealment

Tip: Mulan's inscriptions vary a lot by build, but the armor-penetration set is the standard, beginner-friendly pick — attack and penetration raise both her basics and skill damage, while move speed helps her rotate to support teammates.
