SKILLS
This is the list of skills of Lady Zhen
Passive
Frozen Touch
Cooldown: 0s, Cost: 0
Every time Lady Zhen deals skill damage, she applies a Frozen Mark to enemies, lasting for 7 seconds. After reaching 3 stacks, the mark deals 250–500 (+48% Magic Attack) magic damage and freezes the target for 0.75 seconds. Subsequent freezes will reduce the duration to 0.5 seconds.
Tips: Use this passive to inflict control effects and deal additional damage with Lady Zhen’s skills.
Skill 01
Ocean of Tears
Cooldown: 9/8.6/8.2/7.8/7.4/7s, Cost: 70
Lady Zhen summons an ice pillar at a specified location, blocking enemy units’ path and dealing 500/600/700/800/900/1000 (+80% Magic Attack) magic damage to enemies in the area. The pillar also knocks up enemies for 1 second and slows them by 10/12/14/16/18/20% for 8 seconds. If Lady Zhen is within the area when the pillar appears, she will be encased in ice and become invulnerable for 3 seconds. When the ice is removed or expires, the pillar shatters, dealing 150/180/210/240/270/300 (+35% Magic Attack) magic damage and slowing enemies by 10/12/14/16/18/20% for 3 seconds, with double damage at the explosion center.
Tips: This control skill has a slight delay and is not very effective as an initiation tool. It’s important to predict the enemy’s movement when using it.
Skill 02
Flowing Sigh
Cooldown: 8/7.7/7.4/7.1/6.8/6.5s, Cost: 60
Lady Zhen channels a stream of water in a specified direction, which will lock onto enemies and bounce between them, up to 5–7 times (increased at skill levels 3 and 5). Each enemy can be hit a maximum of 2 times. Each bounce deals 250/300/350/400/450/500 (+45% Magic Attack) magic damage. You can target the ice pillar with this skill. If bouncing cannot continue, it will disappear after a 3-second delay on the target.
Tips: This is a strong AOE skill with high damage, and it can hit multiple targets, making it highly effective in team fights. It is also useful for wave clearing and harassment early on.
Ultimate
Destructive Deluge
Cooldown: 45/40/35s, Cost: 100
Lady Zhen releases the Essence of Water, which moves forward and repels non-hero units. When it hits enemy heroes or reaches its maximum range, it creates a water zone. The first enemy directly hit by the essence takes 300/450/600 (+65% Magic Attack) magic damage. The water zone lasts for 5 seconds, dealing 150/225/300 (+32.5% Magic Attack) magic damage per second to enemies within it. Each instance of damage reduces movement speed by 25/37.5/50% for 1.5 seconds.
Tips: This is a powerful team fight ability that deals significant damage over time. It pairs well with the passive skill to provide AOE control effects.

Lazy Zhen Teammates Recommendation
Zhang Fei: His first two skills before activating his ultimate can protect Zhen Ji, allowing her to use her skills to damage and control enemies. His ultimate can also protect Zhen Ji. After activating it, his first two skills can damage and slow enemies, allowing Zhen Ji to safely use her skills to damage enemies.
Huang Zhong: After setting up his cannon, Huang Zhong often becomes a target for enemies. When enemies attack Huang Zhong, Zhen Ji’s ultimate can hit more enemies, output damage while passively controlling them, relieving pressure on Huang Zhong. Under the protection of support, they can together kill enemy heroes.
Lazy Zhen Counter
Han Xin: Zhen Ji, being a fragile mage, is afraid of assassins like Han Xin who have high damage and many displacement abilities.
Diao Chen: Zhen Ji’s skills don’t limit Diao Chan very well.
Battle Tips:
- Skilled positioning can help dodge Zhen Ji’s control skills.
- During team fights, avoid staying too close to teammates to prevent Zhen Ji from landing considerable AOE damage through control. As Zhen Ji is a relatively fragile magic damage dealer, she fears assassins’ dives and controls during team fights. Thus, good positioning is needed to ensure survival.
Lazy Zhen Team Fight Strategy
Zhen Ji’s first skill has a certain delay time. When counterattacking, there is a higher hit rate. After controlling the enemy with her skills, combining her second and third skills can deal very high AOE damage.
In a team fight, it’s necessary to first use other skills to consume passive layers and find the right time to use her ultimate and second skill’s AOE damage to hit more enemies.
