Ziya

Mage

A legendary strategist-support whose talismans control a fight before it even begins.

Strengths

  • Talisman marks set up guaranteed follow-up damage from allies.
  • Ultimate disables and damages a wide area, opening a teamfight.
  • Strong utility for both engaging and disengaging fights.

Abilities

  • Passive · Deification — If a damaged target dies within 3 seconds, he gains experience orbs. At level 15 he awakens his Deification power, unlocking Bestow Divine Power and raising his level cap to 25 (each level grants bonus ability power); casting it grants a teammate 1200 experience and also raises their level cap, with a chance to grant them experience orbs too.
  • 1 · Seal of Divine Power — Seals enemies in range with divine power for magic damage, then repeated magic damage every 0.4 seconds for 3.5 seconds; sealed enemies gradually lose move speed, physical, and magic defense (up to 50%/10%/10%). Grants himself a decaying speed burst on hit.
  • 2 · Divine Punishment — Punishes the reckless with a rune field dealing 3 hits of magic damage, then after a brief delay the field explodes for more magic damage and a 0.75-second launch.
  • Ultimate · Law of Heaven and Man — Gathers cosmic power in a direction and fires three shockwaves — the first two deal magic damage each, and the last deals much heavier magic damage. After awakening at level 15, this skill charges 10% faster. Charges up to 2 seconds (moving or casting his 2's second stage fires early); longer charging extends range, up to 1800 distance, and it also deals 10% damage to structures in its path.
