Yang Jian

• True sight ability denies enemy stealth plays entirely.
• Ultimate deals heavy damage while briefly stunning the target.
• Strong all-around dueling stats for a flexible pick.

• Passive · Mind Corrosion — Each nearby enemy hero cuts the duration of crowd control on him by 20%, up to 60%.
• 1 · Reversal of Fortune — Sends his hound charging in a direction for physical damage; hitting an enemy lets him recast within 5 seconds to lunge at them for bonus physical damage plus a slice of their missing HP, refreshing the cooldown if it secures a kill.
• 2 · Shattering Illusion — Sweeps in a direction for physical damage and a 50% slow; stuns longer if his HP percentage is lower than the target's, and empowers his basics with bonus true damage for 5 seconds on hit.
• Ultimate · Third Eye — Fires three beams from his third eye in a direction, each dealing physical damage (extra beams on the same target reduced); each beam that hits heals him, with reduced healing on repeat hits.

Build 1: Boots of Resistance → Shadow Battleaxe → Champion's Warplate → Glacial Storm → Famed Blade · Siming → Witch's Cloak

Tip: Yang Jian often relies on his ultimate for both sustain and a comeback kill — heavy cooldown reduction lets him cast it often, and Famed Blade · Siming's passive becomes the foundation for daring, high-reward plays.

Build 2: Boots of Resistance → Shadow Battleaxe → Champion's Warplate → Glacial Storm → Phoenix's Eye → Sage's Sanctuary

Tip: He wants to manage his HP carefully to land his 2's stun, but low HP also risks a quick death — Sage's Sanctuary as a final item adds margin for error.

Inscriptions: Mutation, Hawkeye, Hunt

Tip: This set hits hard — armor penetration secures his damage, 10% move speed speeds up his ganks and team-fight rotations, and 10% attack speed helps his 2's bonus true damage proc faster on basics.
