Skills summary

Passive Skill

Aim

• Cooldown: 0
• Cost: 0
• Passive: Shouyue's basic attacks deal 180% physical damage with increased attack intervals and cannot critically strike. For every 1% critical strike chance Shouyue gains, it converts into 3 points of physical attack. When not in combat, Shouyue can hide at the edge of terrain, entering a stealth mode, and gains a 16% to 30% movement speed increase, which scales with hero level.

Active Skill 1

Eye of Tranquility

• Cooldown: 1.5
• Cost: 30
• Shouyue places a vision device at her feet, granting vision within a 600 to 1000 range, scaling with skill level. The vision device can be prepared every 50/48/46/44/42/40 seconds, up to a maximum of 3 stored devices. Up to 3 vision devices can be placed at once, each lasting 300 seconds. Devices are disabled if captured by enemy heroes. Passive: When standing still, Shouyue gains 1 stack of Ambush effect per second, each stack increasing physical penetration by 7/8/9/10/11/12%, up to 5 stacks. Moving cancels the Ambush effect.

Aiming takes 2 seconds, but the bullet might deviate if aiming is not completed. Up to 3 skill bullets can be stored (affected by cooldown reduction).
