Hero Information

Yaria

Class: Support
Chinese Name: 瑶

Originally a young forest doe, Yaria met a tragic end during a devastating war, only to be granted new life through a fateful blessing. Playful and innocent, she harnesses her mystical essence to freely shift back into a spirit deer, leaping gracefully across the quiet woods. Possessing the magical talent to nurture vitality in all living beings, Yaria travels the realm with high spirits, leaving a trail of whimsical pranks and playful chaos wherever she roams.

Skills and Abilities

Mountain Ghost · Spirit Deer

(Passive)

When hit by hard crowd-control effects (excluding Suppression), Yaria instantly breaks free and transforms into an untargetable Spirit Deer for 4 seconds.
This transformation resets all skill cooldowns. While in Deer form, Yaria cannot attack, but radiates an aura that slows nearby enemies by 30%. This passive triggers once every 60–48 seconds (scales down with hero level).

Wandering Soul

Cooldown: 10s

Yaria casts an orb of energy forward to knock back nearby enemies, dealing 250/300/350/400/450/500 (+30% Magical Attack) Magical Damage. Near the end of its trajectory, the orb automatically homes in on an enemy hero, dealing equivalent damage, knocking them back for 0.5 seconds, and revealing their vision for 5 seconds.
Possessed State: Increases the detection and tracking range by 20%.
Deer Form: Exits Deer form prematurely, resets all active skill cooldowns, and re-enters the battle.

Whispering Wind

Cooldown: 12s

Yaria automatically strikes up to 3 nearby targets continuously for 5 seconds. Each bolt deals 200/240/280/320/360/400 (+30% Magical Attack) Magical Damage. Yaria cannot perform basic attacks while this skill is active.
Possessed State: Increases attack cast range by 20%.
Deer Form: Causes Yaria to leap forward a short distance.

Independent on the Mountain

Cooldown: 15s

Yaria possesses a targeted allied hero, granting them a true damage shield equal to 1000/1500/2000 (+60% Magical Attack) (+8% target's extra HP). Possessing an ally enhances all her regular skills and immediately refund 30% of their cooldowns.
Possessed State: If the shield breaks, Yaria is knocked off and the skill goes on full cooldown. Actively dismounting the host refunds 50% of the Ultimate's cooldown.
Deer Form: Expands the slow aura radius of the Spirit Deer.

Gameplay Tips and Easy Combos

Active Damage Absorption: Utilize your Passive transformation by deliberately walking into enemy hard CC. This grants invulnerability, resets your cooldowns, and allows you to disengage safely.
Active Dismount Management: Manually cast your Ultimate to jump off an ally before your true damage shield completely breaks. Doing so reduces your Ultimate's cooldown by 50%, allowing you to re-attach much faster.
Vision & Crowd Control: Skill 1 provides multi-target vision and a homing knockback. Use it to check unlit bushes before entering teamfights or protecting high-priority carries.
Core Support Combos:
- Combo 1-2-3-1-2: Cast Skill 1 for initial crowd control and vision, activate Skill 2 for damage, attach to your primary carry using Ultimate to refund skill cooldowns, then immediately re-cast Skill 1 and Skill 2 from the possessed target.
- Dismount Reset Combo: 3-1-2-3 (Active Cancel)-1: Attach to your ally, drop your skills, manually dismount before the shield snaps to gain the 50% cooldown refund, and quickly attach again once available.
