Shen Mengxi

• Her skills ignite enemies, and a basic attack on a lit target triggers a bonus-damage explosion.
• Her 3 doubles as a self-heal-free burst dash, letting her stun and burst enemies in her path.
• Her ultimate splits into multiple bombs, covering a wide area with sustained magic damage.

• Passive · Restless Rhythm — Her skill hits ignite enemies, revealing them for 3 seconds; a basic attack on an ignited target triggers an explosion for magic damage to nearby enemies. She regenerates 3 bombs on death.
• 1 · Cat Bomb — While charged, throws a cat bomb at a target location every 0.75 seconds, exploding for magic damage in an area; she holds up to 10 bombs, gaining 1 every 5 seconds, and can throw up to 5 in a row. While self-igniting (from her 2), bombs instead lock onto enemies for a knockback and two-stage magic damage.
• 2 · Just a Normal Thing — Lights a bomb, gaining a decaying move-speed burst; within 5 seconds she can detonate it to dash in a direction, stunning and dealing magic damage to enemies in the path. If not detonated in time, the fire fizzles and refunds a bomb. Changes her 1's throw pattern and cooldown while active.
• Ultimate · Mixed Special — Charges, then throws a combo bomb for magic damage, followed by damage over 2 seconds, plus three cat bombs that scatter outward for more magic damage each. Charges a new combo bomb every 50 seconds, up to 2 stored, affected by cooldown reduction.

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

Tip: Her range is long and she has strong mobility, so an aggressive full-damage build lets her keep the pressure on.

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

Tip: She often has to get close to throw an empowered bomb — Radiant Moon's active makes those approaches safer, and its cooldown reduction gives her more bombs overall.

Inscriptions: Nightmare, Sacrifice, Reincarnation

Tip: Shen Mengxi usually throws bombs from a safe distance, so lean into ability power and penetration with a touch of sustain.
