SKILLS
This is the list of skills of Consort Yu
Passive
Blessing of the Dryads
Cooldown: 0s, Cost: 0
When Consort Yu performs a basic attack, there is a 25% chance to add an additional attack. The additional attack deals 100 (+20% physical attack) physical damage and reduces the target’s movement speed by 15% for 2 seconds. This effect can stack up to 3 times. When attack speed reaches a certain threshold, Consort Yu’s abilities “Oak Bolt” and “Vaulting Shot” get enhanced.
Oak Bolt: When attack speed reaches 0/40/80/120/160/200%, the casting animation speed is increased by 0/20/40/60/80/100%.
Vaulting Shot: When attack speed reaches 0/40/80/120/160/200%, she shoots 1/2/3/4/5/6 bolts.
Tips: This skill is an extremely powerful soft control for marksmen. Whether you make a positioning mistake and encounter an enemy assassin in the jungle or are roaming for a gank in the lane, this is a very good skill for retreating or holding down enemies. During the time the enemy is slowed, it’s enough for Consort Yu to unleash a set of skills to deal explosive damage.
Skill 01
Oak Bolt
Cooldown: 6/5.8/5.6/5.4/5.2/5s, Cost: 50
After a brief charge, Consort Yu fires a powerful bolt, dealing 800/960/1120/1280/1440/1600 (+240% extra physical attack) physical damage to the first enemy hit. Each enemy hit reduces the damage by 15%, down to a minimum of 40% damage. When attack speed reaches a certain threshold, Consort Yu’s “Song of Chu” is enhanced.
Oak Bolt: When attack speed reaches 0/40/80/120/160/200%, the casting animation speed is increased by 0/20/40/60/80/100%.
Tips: Whether in the lane or in team fights, Consort Yu can use this skill to poke the opponent from a distance. Since this skill deals physical damage after passing through enemy units, it is a good way to wear down more enemies before a team fight, which is key to ensuring victory. It’s worth noting that this skill is cast after a brief charge, so as Consort Yu’s player, you need to accurately predict the enemy’s movements!
Skill 02
Protecting Winds
Cooldown: 12/11.6/11.2/10.8/10.4/10s, Cost: 80
Active: Consort Yu increases her movement speed by 20/24/28/32/36/40% for 2 seconds and becomes immune to physical attacks during this time. She becomes immune to control effects at the moment the skill is activated, removes the slowing effect, and activates “Tree God’s Protection” for 5 seconds.
Passive Trigger: Consort Yu gains protection, increasing her attack speed by 15/18/21/24/27/30%.
Tips: In team fights, Consort Yu should save this skill for when the enemy’s physical assassin heroes dive in close. Use the skill, reposition, and unleash crazy damage. Of course, if you’re safe, the movement speed bonus from this skill can also help you chase down enemies and secure kills. Note that this skill cannot remove control effects or magic damage.
Ultimate
Vaulting Shot
Cooldown: 25/22.5/20s, Cost: 100
Consort Yu dashes to a target, stunning them for 0.5 seconds and reducing their movement speed by 90% for 2 seconds. She then jumps back and shoots 2 bolts at the target, each dealing 340/510/680 (+100% extra physical attack) physical damage. After the jump ends, Consort Yu gains a 20/30/40% attack speed bonus for 4 seconds. When attack speed reaches a certain threshold, Consort Yu’s “Dance Before Battle” is enhanced. Consort Yu is immune to control effects during the jump.
When attack speed reaches 0/40/80/120/160/200%, she shoots 1/2/3/4/5/6 bolts. Subsequent bolts reduce damage by 40%, down to a minimum of 20% damage.
Tips: This skill can be used as a displacement ability. After using Consort Yu’s second skill, having another displacement ability on hand while dealing high damage showcases her strong survivability. At the same time, the high physical damage usually serves as a beautiful finishing blow in a kill sequence.

Consort YU Best Partners (Synergies)
- Eclipse (Dong Huang Taiyi): Yu is vulnerable to mage assassins, and Dong Huang Taiyi is a perfect hero to protect her. His ultimate ensures any mage trying to dive Yu will be controlled, allowing her to burst down the squishy mages and deal damage freely in team fights.
- Da Ji: Both are high burst heroes, capable of instantly killing squishy assassins with their combined skills. Their targeted crowd control skills make them a deadly duo, especially in the late game.
Consort YU Counters
- Dodge Yu Ji’s first skill by sidestepping.
- If you see Yu Ji coming to gank, retreat to your tower to ensure safety.
- If you’re a physical assassin, wait for Yu Ji to use her second skill and engage after the skill’s effect has ended to secure the kill.
- Mage assassins like Luna can easily kill Yu Ji.
- Diao Chan’s high magic damage and diving abilities are hard for Yu Ji to handle.
Consort YU Team Fight Strategy
During fights, use the first skill to poke and wear down opponents’ health. When facing enemy physical assassins, use the second skill to avoid damage and output damage. The third skill has high physical damage, which can be used for mobility, crowd control, and finishing off enemies.
Before a team fight, Yu can use her first skill from a distance to poke the enemy. Avoid using the second skill to chase enemies prematurely, as it should be saved to ensure survival when assassins dive her. Finally, enter the clean-up phase to secure kills.
Consort YU Gameplay Strategy
As a pro gamer, to dominate with Censort Yu, follow this gameplay strategy for early, mid, and late game:
Early game:
- Focus on last-hitting minions to maximize gold income and experience.
- Use the Oak Bolt (1st skill) to poke and harass enemy laners, while conserving mana for potential engagements.
- Pay attention to the minimap for possible gank opportunities or enemy jungle invasions. River and jungle entrances for vision.
- When ganking or engaged in a skirmish, utilize Vaulting Shot (Ultimate) to initiate and crowd control enemies, then follow up with basic attacks and Oak Bolt for maximum damage.
Mid game:

- Participate in team fights and skirmishes, making use of the Oak Bolt to poke and wear down opponents before engaging.
- Save Protecting Winds (2nd skill) only for evading enemy assassins or diving high-priority targets. Use it strategically to reposition yourself in fights, avoid damage, and maximize your damage output.
- Look for picks with your team and secure objectives like towers and neutral monsters.
Late game:
- Prioritize staying alive and dealing damage in team fights. Position yourself safely, maintaining distance from enemy assassins and front-liners.
- Use the Oak Bolt to poke enemies from a distance before full engagements, whittling down their health.
- Save Protecting Winds for survivability when assassins dive you or to chase down low-health enemies.
- Coordinate with your team to focus on high-priority targets and make use of synergies with heroes like Dong Huang Taiyi and Da Ji for increased effectiveness.
- Secure objectives such as towers, tempest dragon monsters to gain advantages and close out the game.
