Hero Information

Erin

Class: Marksman
Chinese Name: 艾琳

Erin is a spirited and curious elf princess born in the enchanted Luminescent Forest. Bound by rigid traditions, suffocating rituals, and strict elven etiquette, she longed for true freedom. Right before her coming-of-age ceremony, Erin decided to break free from her royal duties and escaped into the human realm to embark on her own thrilling adventure.

Skills and Abilities

Elf Dance

(Passive)

Erin's basic attacks deal physical damage scaling with (+100% Physical Attack) and (+20% Magic Attack) while generating energy. When energy reaches maximum, Erin consumes it to perform a rapid dash leap.

Every 100 Magic Attack increases her dash flight speed by 30 units (up to 450 max speed). Reaching maximum energy grants 1 stack of Laurel Mark and empowers her next basic attack, launching a piercing shot that deals 70 (+120% Physical Attack) (+30% Magic Attack) Physical Damage to all targets in its path.

Erin utilizes adaptive penetration and lifesteal: her effective penetration and lifesteal stats automatically adopt whichever value is higher between her Physical and Magic stats.

Leaf Dance

Cooldown: 7.5s

Erin fires a bundle of bay leaves forward, dealing 350/420/490/560/630/700 (+40% Physical Attack) (+100% Magic Attack) Magic Damage to the first target hit and gaining 1 stack of Laurel Mark.

Upon striking an enemy hero or reaching maximum distance, the leaves expand into a floral ring, dealing 125/150/175/200/225/250 (+20% Physical Attack) (+30% Magic Attack) Magic Damage to nearby enemies and slowing them by 30% for 1 second.

Every 100 Magic Attack reduces this skill's cooldown by 0.1 seconds (up to 1.5 seconds maximum reduction).

Whispering Dance

Cooldown: 7.5s

Blessed by the Golden Forest, Erin instantly restores full energy (granting 1 stack of Laurel Mark and empowering her basic attack) while simultaneously receiving 1 extra Laurel Mark stack.

In addition, Erin becomes immune to slow effects and gains 20/24/28/32/36/40% bonus Attack Speed for 3 seconds.

Laurel Dance

Cooldown: 20/17.5/15s

Whenever Erin fills her energy, she gains 1 stack of Laurel Mark. Reaching 6 stacks unlocks her Ultimate. The maximum stack limit scales to 12/15/18 layers.

Upon activation, Erin gains 10/15/20% bonus Movement Speed and continuously consumes stacks to barrage nearby enemies with laurel leaves. Each leaf deals 60/90/120 (+40% Physical Attack) (+35% Magic Attack) Magic Damage to the lowest-HP enemy within range and reduces the cooldown of [Whispering Dance] by 0.2 seconds.

Gameplay Tips and Easy Combos

Rhythm & Kite Mechanics: Master Erin's auto-attack rhythm. Use three consecutive basic attacks to full-stack her energy, triggering her short dash leap to reposition and maintain safe distance while continuously delivering damage.
Kiting & Chasing with Ultimate: Erin's Ultimate grants bonus movement speed during activation. Activate it early to pursue fleeing targets or safely retreat while outputting substantial damage.
Positioning in Teamfights: Poke and pull back using empowered basic attacks from the edge of teamfights. Once key enemy crowd-control abilities are spent, activate her Ultimate to clean up low-HP opponents.
