Hero Information
Butterfly
Class: Assassin
Chinese Name: A Ke (阿轲 / Original Hero Equivalent)
To the outside world, Butterfly is a cold, top-notch mercenary driven by neither emotion nor desire. Rumors suggest her tireless work ethic stems from a massive debt owed to the Mercenary Guild. However, few know that behind her stoic exterior lies a girl orphaned in childhood who secretly cherishes warm memories of her past, largely thanks to a companion named Allain. Following his trail to Navenia, she has vowed to track him down and protect him—even if he no longer remembers who she is.
Skills and Abilities
Assassin
(Passive)Butterfly gains 2 Assassin marks upon eliminating an enemy hero, and 1 mark for securing an assist or killing a monster/minion.
Upon reaching 3 marks, her next skill cast incurs no cooldown, allowing for rapid skill resets in battle.
Sword Sweep
Cooldown: 7sButterfly sweeps her blade in a circle, dealing 220/264/308/352/396/440 (+65% Physical Attack) Physical Damage to nearby enemies (each additional enemy hit increases damage dealt by 25%).
Casting this skill grants her a temporary shield that absorbs 250/300/350/400/450/500 (+75% Physical Attack) damage for 2 seconds and increases her Movement Speed by 50% (decaying over time).
Flying Sword
Cooldown: 8sButterfly hurls a blade forward, dealing 220/264/308/352/396/440 (+65% Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in its path. The first enemy struck takes 1.5x base damage and is slowed by 50% for 1.5 seconds.
Hitting enemies with this skill increases her Attack Speed by 25/30/35/40/45/50% and Critical Rate by 10/12/14/16% for 4 seconds (stacks up to 2 times).
Assassination
Cooldown: 18sButterfly leaps toward a target, dealing 400/500/600 (+90% Physical Attack) Physical Damage and applying an Assassination mark for 3 seconds. Leaping onto an already marked target delivers additional True Damage equal to 12% of their missing Health.
While marked, Butterfly takes 50% reduced damage from that target's basic attacks. Attacking a marked target restores Health equal to 35% of damage dealt. If the marked target dies, Ultimate cooldown is immediately refreshed, and basic attacks against marked targets reduce Skill 1 and Skill 2 cooldowns by 1 second.

Gameplay Tips and Easy Combos
- Early Game Pathing: Farm efficiently to reach Level 4 as quickly as possible. Butterfly relies heavily on her Ultimate (Skill 3) to gap-close and lock down low-HP targets. Prioritize ganking vulnerable side lanes once unlocked.
- Teamfight Execution: Flank enemy backlines to execute Marksmen and Mages. Avoid engaging tanks directly head-on; save your burst for targets you can eliminate quickly to trigger your passive skill resets.
- Passive Stack Management: Time your abilities around your 3-stack Assassin passive. Chain consecutive kills and resets to wipe multiple enemies in fast teamfight sequences.
- Core Burst Combos:
Execution Burst: 3-A-2-A-1-A: Gap-close with Ultimate (Skill 3), weave basic attacks with Skill 2 for the slow and Attack Speed buff, and finish with Skill 1 for AoE shield damage.Chase & Reset Combo: 2-3-A-1-A: Slow distant targets with Skill 2, leap in with Ultimate, auto-attack, and trigger Skill 1 to absorb retaliatory damage while securing the kill.
