Yango

• His puppet inherits most of his items and can disguise itself as an enemy hero, creating constant mind games.
• He can swap positions with his puppet instantly, dodging burst or repositioning for a pick.
• His thread-pull ultimate rewards catching multiple enemies at once with bonus damage and a slow.

• Passive · Secret Art · Manipulation — His puppet inherits most of his item effects and some buffs; it deals physical damage on basic attacks and shares gold/experience with him. Destroying the puppet stops him from summoning a new one for 20 seconds and exposes and stuns him; recalling the puppet cleanses him and grants a shield plus move speed.
• 1 · Secret Art · Shadow — Throws his puppet in a direction for physical damage and a launch, then takes control of it — the puppet can mimic an enemy hero until it attacks or is attacked; a second cast in Puppet Form recalls it immediately for the same damage.
• 2 · Secret Art · Paper Crane — After a brief delay, throws four darts in a direction for physical damage (extra hits reduced); in Puppet Form, swaps his and the puppet's positions, dealing damage along the puppet's path.
• 3 · Secret Art · Cross Flash — Whips out threads that pull backward, damaging enemies hit, with bonus damage and a slow on anyone caught by both threads; in Puppet Form, the puppet deals damage and slows nearby enemies, then can bind them for a follow-up stun and magic damage.
• Ultimate · Secret Art · Dispersal — Vanishes and reappears at another location nearby after a brief delay; in Puppet Form, the puppet charges in a direction instead, dealing physical damage along the path.

Build 1: Boots of Calmness → Shadow Battleaxe → Champion's Warplate → Grandmaster's Might → Star-Shattering Hammer → Ominous Omen

Tip: Since the puppet inherits most of Yango's item effects, a bit of extra HP keeps it from getting instantly deleted.

Build 2: Pursuit Edge → Boots of Calmness → Shadow Battleaxe → Champion's Warplate → Grandmaster's Might → Star-Shattering Hammer

Tip: Jungle build — farming from the jungle is safer and makes better use of the puppet's disguise for mind games.

Tip: Yango's damage window is relatively safe, so a crit-focused set aims to land one big burst that overwhelms the opponent before they can react.
