Hero Information

Shangguan Wan'er

Class: Mage
Chinese Name: 上官婉儿

Once a humble servant girl sequestered deep within the imperial palace due to her grandfather's alleged involvement in a historic treasonous rebellion, Shangguan Wan'er spent years tormented by haunting visions of sinister flowers. At the recommendation of the court painter, she was granted the freedom to roam the streets of Chang'an. Driven by a fierce determination to uncover the truth behind her grandfather's tragic fall and seek vengeance, she navigates the courtly intrigue. Now, as the peonies bloom once more and hidden enemies re-emerge, the long-buried truth is finally within her reach.

Skills and Abilities

Inkfall

(Passive)

Every third basic attack becomes enhanced, dealing an additional 300 (+40% Magic Attack) Magic Damage to enemies along a linear path.
When brush strokes from different skills overlap, they trigger an ink explosion that deals 300 (+40% Magic Attack) Magic Damage to nearby enemies (subsequent hits within 1 second deal 50% reduced damage).
Touching an active brush stroke restores 100 (+22% Magic Attack) Health and immediately readies an enhanced basic attack.

Fast Momentum

Cooldown: 5s

Shangguan Wan'er hurls a swift ink brush in a target direction, dealing 200/240/280/320/360/400 (+40% Magic Attack) Magic Damage to enemies hit along the way. Upon reaching maximum range, the brush bursts, dealing 200 (+40% Magic Attack) Magic Damage to surrounding targets.

Concealed Brush

Cooldown: 1.5s

Selects a designated location to begin writing back toward her current position. The initial brush placement deals 150/180/210/240/270/300 (+20% Magic Attack) Magic Damage. As the stroke traces back, it deals 300/360/420/480/540/600 (+40% Magic Attack) Magic Damage and slows enemies hit by 50% for 2 seconds.
Stores a stroke charge every 12/11/10/9/8/7 seconds (maximum 2 charges, scaled by Cooldown Reduction).

Ink Dance

Cooldown: 40s

Dashes forward with her brush, dealing 300/385/470 (+24% Magic Attack) Magic Damage along the line. Hitting an enemy or another skill's brush stroke allows her to dash again within 3 seconds.
Completing 3 to 5 dashes causes her to soar high into the air, becoming untargetable and immune to all crowd control. While airborne, she unleashes continuous attacks dealing 600/800/1000 (+45% Magic Attack) total Magic Damage (3 dashes unleash 4 attacks, 4 dashes unleash 7 attacks, and 5 dashes unleash 10 attacks; damage to the same target is reduced to 25%).
She can move, attack, or cast skills during pauses between dashes. If interrupted before soaring, 20% to 80% of the cooldown is refunded based on the number of dashes executed.

Gameplay Tips and Easy Combos

Skill Synergies: Overlapping your Skill 1 and Skill 2 creates passive ink explosions. Stepping onto these active paths restores HP and empowers your next basic attack.
Engagement Timing: Wan'er relies on taking flight with her Ultimate to survive teamfights. Wait for hard CC skills to be baited out before committing, as heavy crowd control can stop your sprint sequence short.
Execution & Patience: Range poke with Skill 1 and 2 to create springboards. When an opening appears, dash through your active strokes or enemy heroes to reach full stacks and achieve untargetable status high above the battle.
Core Burst Combos:
- Standard Dash Combo: 2-1-3-3-3-3-3: Cast Skill 2 at range, fire Skill 1 toward it, then use Skill 3 (Ultimate) to dash along the converging ink paths into the air.
- Close-Quarters Burst: 2-3-3-1-3-3-3: Place Skill 2, dash forward twice, launch Skill 1 into your direction, and complete the final dashes to take flight.
