Hero Information

Yang Jian

Class: Fighter
Chinese Name: 杨戬

Yang Jian has a third eye hidden within his forehead, which is why Nuwa chose him as her successor and bestowed upon him the role of protector of the mortal world. However, after hunting wrongdoers and patrolling the realm for a long time, he began to have doubts about Nuwa's motives.

After he had fought in one war after the next and seen a succession of rulers wrestle control from each other, the trials of his friend Nezha finally made him realize that perhaps the world wasn't quite as fragile as Nuwa would have it. The creatures that inhabited it had their own will and lives, and in time, he decided to fight for their right to rule over themselves.

Skills and Abilities

Sanity Corrosion

(Passive)

Each nearby enemy hero reduces Yang Jian's crowd control duration by 20%, up to a maximum reduction of 60%.

Reversal

Cooldown: 6s

Yang Jian summons the Howling Celestial Dog to charge forward, dealing 210/255/300/345/390/435 (+45% Physical Attack) Physical Damage to the first enemy hit and granting vision during the mark's duration.

Within 5 seconds, this skill can be recast to charge at the marked target, dealing 320/395/470/545/620/695 (+65% Physical Attack) Physical Damage plus 16% of the target's missing HP as additional Physical Damage (max 800 extra damage against non-hero units).

If the target is defeated while marked or eliminated directly by this skill, the cooldown of Reversal resets instantly.

Illusionary Destruction

Cooldown: 10s

Yang Jian sweeps his weapon, dealing 250/300/350/400/450/500 (+100% Physical Attack) Physical Damage to nearby enemies and slowing them by 50% for 2 seconds.

Stuns targets for 0.5 seconds upon hitting. If the target's HP percentage is higher than Yang Jian's, the stun duration increases to 1 second. After hitting an enemy, Yang Jian's basic attacks deal an extra 80/120/160/200/240/280 (+35% Physical Attack) True Damage for 5 seconds.

Root Eye

Cooldown: 22/19/16s

Yang Jian unleashes lasers from his Sky Eye up to 3 times (1 laser for the first two casts, 3 lasers for the third cast).

Each laser deals 300/450/600 (+72% Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in its path and restores 160/240/320 (+50% Physical Attack) (+5% Extra HP) HP to Yang Jian upon hitting targets.

If hit by multiple lasers simultaneously, subsequent hits deal only 30% damage and grant 50% healing effect.

Gameplay Tips and Easy Combos

Early Game Ganking: Partner with crowd-control allies to guarantee skillshots land. Cast Skill 1 right after an enemy is immobilized for clean follow-up damage.
Flanking Strategy: Look for opportunities on the flanks during team fights. Use Skill 1 to dive straight into enemy squishies and burst them down with True Damage from Skill 2.
Chain Resets: Finishing off targets with Skill 1 instantly refreshes its cooldown, enabling high-mobility multi-kills and team fight cleanups.
