Before Transformation: Each basic attack increases Zhang Fei’s Fury by 3 points.
After Transformation: Using skills causes the ground around Zhang Fei to tremble, reducing the movement speed of nearby enemies by 50% for 2 seconds.

Skill 01
Forbidden Domain
Cooldown: 6s, Cost: 0
Zhang Fei swings his spear, dealing 450/550/650/750/850/950 (+100% Physical Attack) physical damage to enemies. If an enemy hero is hit, they are knocked back. Hitting enemy units increases Fury by 3 points.
Tips: The damage of this skill isn’t very high before transformation, but the knockback effect is crucial. Use it to repel enemy assassins who dive in, protect your backline, or quickly farm minions and jungle monsters to accumulate Zhang Fei’s energy.
Skill 02
Leaping Savior
Cooldown: 12/11.6/11.2/10.8/10.4/10s, Cost: 0

Using this skill increases Fury by 3 points, and granting a shield to each ally increases Fury by an additional 1 point.
Tips: Before transformation, this skill serves as a support ability. It doesn’t deal damage but can be used in team fights to reduce damage taken by allies or to help Zhang Fei escape. After transformation, it becomes a powerful offensive skill when used in combination with his other abilities.
Ultimate
Unbridled Outburst

Zhang Fei roars, creating a path of fierce winds, granting him a shield equal to 40% of his maximum health for 15 seconds.

Zhang Fei Synergies
- Huang Zhong: Huang Zhong is relatively fragile and needs protection from teammates. Zhang Fei is the perfect hero to protect him from damage. Huang Zhong is most vulnerable to enemy dives and focus fire when using his ultimate, but Zhang Fei can provide shields and knock back enemies, further stunning and scattering them, allowing Huang Zhong to maximize his damage output while staying protected.
- Solarus (Hou Yi): Hou Yi is another hero who relies on teammates for protection and is particularly susceptible to taunting. Assassins want to eliminate Hou Yi first due to his terrifying damage output. Zhang Fei’s shield can block at least one enemy assassin’s skill, while his 1st skill can keep enemies at a distance from Hou Yi. His ultimate creates an even better environment for Hou Yi to maximize his damage output.
Zhang Fei Counters
When Zhang Fei’s energy is not full, his fighting power is weaker; attack him at this time. In team fights, try not to waste skills on Zhang Fei.
- Mulan: Zhang Fei’s solo fighting ability is not strong; when facing burst assassins like Mulan, it’s better to retreat.
- Zhuang Zhou: Zhuang Zhou’s ultimate can alleviate the control effects of Zhang Fei’s skills.
Zhang Fei Team Fight Strategy
Zhang Fei has different roles depending on his transformation state. In his untransformed state, he is a tank hero, taking damage and saving teammates. After transforming, he gains damage output and becomes more durable and resistant.
For Zhang Fei with dual skill sets, it’s crucial to seize the opportunity to use his ultimate. When engaging enemies, you can avoid transforming immediately and wait until the enemy has used their mobility skills before using your ultimate for a guaranteed stun, making the fight easier.
If you manage to control multiple enemies, your teammates can swarm in and quickly eliminate the opposing team.
In team fights, Zhang Fei can initiate with his ultimate to control and engage enemies. Then, use his 2nd skill to jump in and control enemies while continuously dealing damage with his 1st skill, crushing the enemy backline.
Coordinate with melee champions to focus fire on fragile enemy heroes and eliminate them. Remember that his ultimate requires accumulated Fury, so use basic attacks or skills on minions to accelerate Fury recovery and ensure you have the ultimate ready during team fights.

Late Game Strategy:
- In the late game, Zhang Fei’s role transitions to a frontline tank and damage dealer. Use your ultimate to initiate team fights, controlling and engaging enemies.
