Hero Information

Ao Yin (Loong)

Class: Marksman
Chinese Name: 敖隐

He comes from an ancient race of dragons that disappeared from the world a long time ago. After a transformative experience that changed his life, this childish young man returned to the world a hundred times more resolute than before.

He vowed to return the true name of his vanished race to this world. In this vast world, all that's left of this ancient race will be watching him as he attempts to reclaim what was lost.

Skills and Abilities

Hidden Cooldown

(Passive)

The elemental dragon souls of Ao Yin's last two skills attach to his main and secondary sword fingers. The main sword finger deals 100% Physical Attack as Physical Damage. If other enemies are nearby, the secondary sword finger attacks the target, dealing 30%–60% Physical Attack as Physical Damage.

Ao Yin adds a layer of dragon soul mark when using skills (up to 3 layers). His next basic attack consumes all marks to drive the dragon souls against the target, launching one extra attack per mark consumed. Enhanced basic attacks gain different effects depending on the dragon soul attribute on the main sword finger.

When attacked by multiple dragon souls, subsequent dragon souls deal only 50% damage. When switching elements, dragon souls of the same element are retained first.

Thin Sun Palm Fire

Ao Yin swings his sword, dealing 300/400/500/600 (+60% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage and 75/100/125/150 (+15% Extra Physical Attack) True Damage to up to 3 targets in range (dealing 50% splash damage behind the target), applying a layer of dragon soul mark.

After casting, a Fire Dragon Soul attaches to the sword finger, causing basic attacks to deal an extra 15/20/25/30 Physical Damage. If both sword fingers hold Fire Dragon Souls, damage increases by 50%.

If the Fire Dragon Soul is on the main sword finger, the first part of the enhanced basic attack deals 75/100/125/150 (+36% Extra Physical Attack) True Damage, while the remaining two parts deal 75/100/125/150 (+36% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage.

Qingtian Siyu (Sky-Rain)

Cooldown: 12s

Ao Yin swings his sword, dealing 240/320/400/480 (+35% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to up to 3 targets in range (dealing 50% splash damage behind targets), and recovers 90/120/150/180 (+60% Extra Physical Attack) HP upon hitting enemies.

After casting, a Water Dragon Soul attaches to the sword finger, causing basic attacks to recover 18/24/30/36 HP and 0.5% Max Mana. If both sword fingers hold Water Dragon Souls, recovery increases by 50%.

If the Water Dragon Soul is on the main sword finger, each segment of the 3-part enhanced basic attack deals 60/80/100/120 (+35% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage and restores 90/120/150/180 HP on hit. Note: Skill recovery is reduced to 20% on non-hero units, and basic attack recovery is reduced to 50% on non-hero units.

Ao Yin Skill 3 - Pedaling on Steel Price

Pedaling on Steel Price (Step on the Wind)

Cooldown: 12s

Ao Yin swings his sword, immediately gaining 30/40/50/60% Movement Speed that decays over time, dealing 240/320/400/480 (+35% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage (with 50% splash damage behind targets) and knocking back up to 3 targets in range.

After casting, a Wind Dragon Soul attaches to the sword finger, granting 12/16/20/24 Movement Speed. If both sword fingers hold Wind Dragon Souls, Movement Speed bonus increases by 50%.

If the Wind Dragon Soul is on the main sword finger, each segment of the 3-part enhanced basic attack deals 60/80/100/120 (+35% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage and knocks back targets.

Poor in the Mystery

Cooldown: 80/75/70s

Ao Yin reveals his true form as a White Dragon and soars into the sky. During flight (up to 4.5 seconds, can end early), he cannot attack, ignores terrain, and becomes untargetable. He then dives forward (remaining untargetable), dealing 400/600/800 (+80% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage and 30% Slow to enemies in his path, while dealing equal damage and inflicting Dragon Fear for 1 second at the landing point.

Upon landing, Ao Yin equips his True Dragon Snow Sword, gaining 20/30/40% Attack Speed and 50 Attack Range for 10 seconds. His dual swords will attack up to two additional nearby targets simultaneously.

Targets afflicted with Dragon Fear involuntarily move away from Ao Yin. He can adjust the elemental dragon souls on his swords at will while flying.

Gameplay Tips and Easy Combos

Burst Damage Combo (2-1-A): When holding two layers of Fire element marks, execute the 2-1-A combo to unleash three layers of Fire Dragon Soul marks for maximum single-target burst damage.
Sustain & Survival Combo (1-2-A): When holding two layers of Water element marks, use the 1-2-A combo to trigger three layers of Water Dragon Souls for maximum HP recovery during lane trades.
Positioning & Ultimate Usage: Keep maximum distance and poke safely. Save Skill 4 (Ultimate) as a survival/escape tool or positioning tool rather than an engagement tool—initiating team fights with Ultimate makes your landing spot predictable and easy to collapse on.
