Zhen Ji

• Heal ability lets her sustain herself or a lane partner through trades.
• Ultimate pulses repeated damage in a large zone around her.
• Flexible kit lets her flex between mid lane mage and heal-support roles.

• Passive · Frozen Tears — Her skill damage stacks a frost mark on enemies for 7 seconds; at 3 stacks it triggers, dealing magic damage and freezing the target for 1 second.
• 1 · Flowing Tears — Summons a pillar of water at a location, dealing magic damage and launching enemies in the area for 1 second.
• 2 · Sighing Stream — Guides a stream of water that locks onto an enemy and bounces between targets up to 6 times (max 2 bounces per target), dealing magic damage on each bounce.
• Ultimate · Descent of the Luo Goddess — Sends a spirit of water surging forward, pushing back non-hero units; a direct hit on a hero, or reaching max range, forms a pool that deals magic damage every second and slows by 50% for 2 seconds to anyone standing in it.

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

Tip: As a poke mage, Holy Grail not only shortens her downtime between skills but also boosts her sustain.

Build 2: Boots of Calmness → Blazing Dominance → Mask of Anguish → Echo Staff → Scholar's Wrath → Sage's Codex

Tip: Zhen Ji has no great escape against a dive, but Blazing Dominance covers that gap while adding useful sustain.

Inscriptions: Nightmare, Mercy, Reincarnation

Tip: This set adds ability power, magic penetration, cooldown reduction, and spell vamp — the power and penetration raise her damage, spell vamp gives her staying power, and cooldown reduction lets her chain skills into her passive's freeze faster.
