Hero Information
Yixing
Class: Mage
Chinese Version Name: 弈星
Yixing was saved by the "Peony Alchemist" when he was most isolated and helpless. Since then, he has worshipped him as his master and found a true home. Playing chess was the path his master taught him to abandon pain and take control of the world.
Whether defeating the Fusang chess player before the Empress to earn fame in Chang'an or covertly executing stealth missions in the dark, he calmly moves his pieces to fulfill his master's wishes and secure victory.
Now, as a storm brews over Chang'an, the young master steps out of his long-trapped chess room, using the world itself as a chessboard. This time, he plays to pursue and protect his own destiny.
Skills and Abilities
Scorpion (Passive)
Passive: Yixing's normal attacks deal magic damage. Any skill hitting an enemy adds 1 layer of the degassing mark. After accumulating 4 layers, a chess piece spawns beneath the enemy, dealing 100 (+10% Magic Attack) magic damage and permanently granting Yixing 1 chess piece count for the game. Additionally, 5 pieces are gained per kill, assist, or every 60 seconds; each piece adds 1 Magic Attack point.
Chess pieces generated by the mark draw toward the center of the chess formation, dealing 170 (+11% Magic Attack) magic damage to enemies in their path.
Upon taking fatal damage, Yixing escapes into nothingness and spawns a chess piece beneath his feet, becoming immune to all damage and gaining 30% bonus movement speed for 1 second (150s Cooldown). Subsequent degassing damage to the same enemy within a short frame diminishes to 50%.

Flying Attack
Cooldown: 1.5 / 1.4 / 1.3 / 1.2 / 1.1 / 1s
Releases a chess piece at a designated location, revealing vision in the area for 3 seconds. Deals 100/120/140/160/180/200 (+18% Magic Attack) magic damage and reduces [Soul Calming] cooldown by 0.5 seconds. The piece lasts 12 seconds. Inside a chess formation, it gets drawn to the center, dealing 180/218/256/294/332/370 (+30% Magic Attack) magic damage and a 50% slow for 1 second. Hitting grants an enhanced basic attack dealing 120/145/170/195/220/245 (+60% Physical Attack) (+18% Magic Attack) magic damage.
Reaching 50/110/181 chess pieces unlocks an extra skill to empower the enhanced basic attack and grant a 5-second movement speed boost. Upgrades progressively add scatter effects and increased attack damage (+17% / +34%).
Stores up to 2 charges (1 charge every 6s). Successive line damage within 0.5s decays to 50%.

Reputation
Cooldown: 11 / 10.6 / 10.2 / 9.8 / 9.4 / 9s
Deals 160/192/224/256/288/320 (+25% Magic Attack) magic damage to a targeted area, spreading into a chess formation. Enemies in the center are pulled toward the middle, receiving an additional 160/192/224/256/288/320 (+25% Magic Attack) magic damage.
The formation lasts 10 seconds. Crossing its outer boundary accelerates degassing stack gain by 50% for 1s (max once per target). The formation dissipates if Yixing strays too far.
Deals +180% damage to non-hero units.

Changing Situation
Cooldown: 60 / 57.5 / 55s
Uses Yixing's position as a corner to draw a void chessboard. After 1.5 seconds, the board fully forms, airborne-knocking enemies for 0.5 seconds. Trapped enemies cannot leave for 4 seconds, continuously gain 3 degassing marks, and remain revealed.
Trapping an enemy hero stores 1 charge of [Flying Attack]. Smaller chessboard sizes reduce cooldown (up to 25% reduction). Yixing gains a decaying 30%–70% movement speed boost while casting.

Tips and Easy Combos
- Try to trap enemies within your 2nd skill field. If you exit the chess formation, reposition appropriately to wait out cooldowns or land Skill 1 to accelerate Skill 2's recovery.
- Basic Combo (2-2-3-1-A-1-A-1-A): Cast Skill 2 twice to drag enemies back, followed by Ultimate (3) to lock down the area. Execute Skill 1 + Enhanced Auto Attacks (1-A-1-A-1-A) to deliver maximum burst mark damage.
