ZHOU YU

Mage

Mid Lane

SKILLS

This is the list of skills of Zhou Yu.

Passive

Blaze

Zhou Yu’s basic attacks and skills apply Blaze Marks on enemies and enemy structures, lasting for 4 seconds. After stacking 4 marks, the target ignites, taking 125 (+17% Magic Power) magic damage per second for 4 seconds and reducing their movement speed by 30% for 1 second. While ignited, no additional Blaze Marks can be applied.

Tips: Zhou Yu’s passive allows him to quickly clear waves and push towers, keeping enemies in his fire zones for longer durations.

Skill 01

Wildfire

Cooldown: 5/4.8/4.6/4.4/4.2/4s, Cost: 60

Zhou Yu summons a gust of wind, creating a Wind Zone. Allied heroes in the zone gain a 10% movement speed boost, while enemy heroes have their movement speed reduced by 20% for 3 seconds. Upon creation, the wind pushes back nearby enemies, dealing 200/240/280/320/360/400 (+30% Magic Power) magic damage. If the Wind Zone overlaps a Fire Zone for 1 second, it will spread, creating a new Fire Zone. The new and old Fire Zones can stack damage, dealing 100/120/140/160/180/200 (+25% Magic Power) magic damage every 0.5 seconds to enemies within.

Tips: The direction of the wind determines the spread of the fire zones, requiring accurate judgment of battlefield positioning and subsequent developments.

Skill 02

Scorching Bolt

Cooldown: 0.6s, Cost: 50

Zhou Yu commands fire arrows to bombard a targeted area, dealing 250/300/350/400/450/500 (+34% Magic Power) magic damage and leaving a Fire Zone for 6.5 seconds. The Fire Zone deals 100/120/140/160/180/200 (+30% Magic Power) magic damage every 0.5 seconds to enemies within. If more than 6 Fire Zones are created, the oldest ones will be removed. Scorching Bolt can be stored up to 3 times, with a cooldown of 9/8.6/8.2/7.8/7.4/7 seconds per charge (affected by cooldown reduction).

Passive: Zhou Yu regenerates 35/42/49/56/63/70 (+7% Magic Power) (+2% extra max HP) health every 0.5 seconds while in a Fire Zone.

Tips: Overlapping Fire Zones do not stack damage, so it’s important to strategically spread them across the battlefield.

Ultimate

Flames of War

Cooldown: 10/9/8s, Cost: 100

Zhou Yu summons a wave of flames in a designated area, dealing 200/300/400 (+40% Magic Power) magic damage. When the flames pass over a Fire Zone, they create a firestorm that deals an additional 200/300/400 (+40% Magic Power) magic damage and stuns enemies for 1 second.

Tips: By spreading Fire Zones, Zhou Yu can initiate large-scale control and deal massive damage, keeping enemies in the Fire Zones for sustained damage.
