SKILLS

This is the list of skills of Cirrus

Passive

Through the Clouds

Cooldown: 0s, Cost: 0

At level 4, Cirrus gains the ability to permanently ignore terrain while flying. His basic attacks accumulate Breath Value, providing him with a movement speed bonus of 0-60 points. When not attacking, the Breath Value rapidly decreases. His basic attacks and skills apply a stack of Ripping Effect on enemies. When enemies move, they take physical damage equal to 0.24% of their maximum health (with an additional 0.02% for every 50 points of extra attack power), up to a maximum of 5 stacks, lasting 2 seconds. The more stacks, the stronger the Ripping Damage, with a maximum increase of 10 times.
If the enemy hero does not move, they still take 50% of the Ripping Damage. For minions and jungle monsters, the Ripping Effect is fully triggered without needing to move, dealing physical damage every 0.2 seconds based on (2.7% of Cirrus’s physical attack).

Tips: After reaching level 4, Cirrus can permanently ignore terrain, allowing him to utilize the environment for better positioning and output.

Skill 01

Cloud Descending

Cooldown: 10/9.6/9.2/8.8/8.4/8s, Cost: 0

Cirrus charges up to increase his movement speed by 60/72/84/96/108/120% and dives forward, knocking back non-hero units. He gains a shield of 300/360/420/480/540/600 (+100% extra physical attack) and deals 0.5 seconds of stun and 200/240/280/320/360/400 (+80% extra physical attack) physical damage to the target. Upon hitting the first hero, Cirrus can jump backward in any direction.
The dive knocks back non-hero units, and canceling the charge returns 20% of the cooldown.

Tips: After landing a hit with this skill, Cirrus can jump backward in any direction, allowing him to decide whether to chase or disengage.

Skill 02

Razor Wind

Cooldown: 10/9.6/9.2/8.8/8.4/8s, Cost: 0

Cirrus slashes with his wings, sending wind blades forward that deal two instances of 150/180/210/240/270/300 (+50% extra physical attack) physical damage and slow the target by 25% for 1 second. For the next 4 seconds, Cirrus gains a 20/24/28/32/36/40% attack speed boost and can perform ranged basic attacks. He can shoot three feather blades at increasing distances, dealing physical damage of (+20% physical attack), (+30% physical attack), and (+50% physical attack) respectively.

Tips: After using Skill 2, Cirrus gains the ability to attack from a distance, allowing him to maintain a safe range while dealing damage in the terrain.

Ultimate

Soaring Whirlwind

Cooldown: 45/40/35s, Cost: 0

Cirrus gains a brief 30%/45%/60% damage reduction and accelerates, lifting the target enemy hero within the circle into the air, removing crowd control effects from himself. While airborne, Yun Zhong Jun is untargetable and can move freely. Upon landing, he deals 360/540/720 (+120% bonus attack) physical damage and knocks up enemies for 0.5 seconds. Each Rend stack increases the landing damage by 10%. Enemies lifted into the air by this skill can only take damage from cirrus while airborne. The movement speed during flight scales with cirrus’s level. If no enemies are within the circle when activated, cirrus will fly up alone and deal the same damage upon landing.

Tips: The ultimate can pick up a single enemy and take them out of position. Try to bring them to a safe spot before following up with basic attacks.
