Xiang Yu

• High burst damage combo can delete squishy targets in seconds.
• Ultimate grants armor and lifesteal, letting him win extended trades.
• Dash-heavy kit makes him hard to disengage from once he commits.

• Passive · Will to Break Through — Below 30% HP while under attack, takes 40% less damage for 6 seconds, once every 90 seconds; his basic attacks also deal bonus true damage.
• 1 · Fearless Charge — Charges through enemies in a direction, knocking them back on contact, then finishes with an uppercut that launches enemies for physical damage.
• 2 · Burn the Boats — Roars to slow nearby enemies by 30% and deal magic damage while reducing their damage output; each point of physical defense also grants him bonus HP.
• Ultimate · Overlord's Strike — Channels indomitable will, then unleashes a devastating blade wave that stuns and deals more damage the lower his HP is; while channeling he cannot be reduced below 1 HP.

Build 1: Boots of Resistance → Crimson Lotus Cloak → Thorned Armor → Witch's Cloak → Glacial Storm → Ominous Omen

Tip: Stacking physical defense grants bonus max HP, making him tankier than other tanks; his strong engage and high HP also make the most of Glacial Storm.

Build 2: Vanguard · Redemption → Shadowstalker Boots → Crimson Lotus Cloak → Ominous Omen → Witch's Cloak → Warlord's Plate

Tip: His natural tankiness lets him play the roam position, and Shadowstalker Boots means he can't just be locked down and picked off.

Inscriptions: Fate, Void, Harmony

Tip: A standard bruiser-tank set — Harmony adds tankiness and sustain, Fate's attack speed lets him land more basics, and Void's cooldown reduction lowers his skill CDs significantly.
