SKILLS
This is the list of skills of Lam
Passive
Hunter
Cooldown: 0s, Cost: 0
When an enemy’s health drops below 30%, they are marked as “Prey” by Lam. Lam’s skills and basic attacks deal an additional 15% true damage to “Prey.”
Tips: This true damage is effective even against tank heroes.
Skill 01
Wavebreaker
Cooldown: 10/9.6/9.2/8.8/8.4/8s, Cost: 40
Lam uses his arcane powers to enter a “Submerge” state, increasing his movement speed by 60 for 3 seconds. After this time, he will emerge from the water and refund 50% of the cooldown. While in Submerge state, using Wavebreaker allows Lam to burst out of the water, dealing 300/350/400/450/500/550 (+120% Additional Physical Attack) physical damage to the target and applying a 50% slow effect for 1.5 seconds.
Passive: There is no time limit in river areas. If an “Enemy Prey” appears within a 1500 range, the speed boost effect is further increased by 450.
Tips: Using Wavebreaker while in Submerge state will grant a brief displacement effect.
Skill 02
Space Split
Cooldown: 7s, Cost: 40
Lam attacks nearby enemies, inflicting two successive hits that deal 225/265/305/345/385/425 (+40% Additional Physical Attack) physical damage each. For each enemy hit, Lam gains a mark, up to 3 marks. Using basic attacks will chase down enemies and remove one mark from Lam, dealing 50/60/70/80/90/100 (+75% Physical Attack) physical damage and restoring 70/84/98/112/126/140 (+30% Additional Physical Attack) (+2% Max Health) HP. Each time a chase is triggered, the cooldown of Space Split is reduced by 1 second.
When released in Submerge state, Space Split includes a specified direction displacement and reduces the cooldown of Wavebreaker by 50%.
Tips: Useful for quickly closing the distance to enemies or escaping.
Ultimate
Death From Below
Cooldown: 40/35/30s, Cost: 100
Lam throws a dagger, applying a 90% slow effect to enemies along its path for 0.5 seconds. After a short delay, he will charge to the dagger’s location, dragging enemies along the path to the endpoint for a final execution, dealing 550/800/1050 (+170% Additional Physical Attack) physical damage.
When released in Submerge state, Death From Below does not throw the dagger but directly triggers the subsequent effect and reduces the cooldown of Wavebreaker by 50%.
Tips: Lam is in an unstoppable state during the assault and can pass through thicker walls.

Maximizing Lam’s Potential with
Team Synergy
By making good use of the stacks to reduce cooldown, you can quickly refresh skill 2’s cooldown, achieving an “infinite skill 2” effect. You can take advantage of the long-range crowd control provided by skill 3 to drag enemies into your team’s defensive turret range. Flexibly using the unlimited speed boost in the river area can significantly enhance your ability to provide support.
Timebender (Sun Bin)
Timebender Provides movement speed bonus, further enhancing Lam’s mobility, allowing Lam to swiftly destroy the enemy team.
Beast (Zhang Fei)
Beast Offers shield bonus, increasing Lam’s margin for error in fights and making it harder for Him to be instantly killed by focused fire.
Countering Lam
Zilong (Zhao Yun)
Against heroes like Zhao Yun, who possess both tankiness and burst damage, Lam not only struggles to deal damage but is also at risk of being quickly eliminated.
Diao Chen
As Lam needs to get up close to deal damage, heroes like Diao Chan can effectively avoid Lam’s attacks by using their second skill to create distance.
General Tips to Counter Lam
Crowd control skills can effectively interrupt Lan’s pursuit, making it difficult for her to get close and deal damage.
General Team Fight Strategy
Utilize the speed boost from submerging and target the enemy’s carry position, then use skill 3 to pull the target back, separating the enemy carry from their support.
Proper positioning and battle strategy are essential for success with Lam. Here are some tips to help you dominate the battlefield:
- Stay on the move: Use Lam’s high mobility to roam the map and set up ambushes for unsuspecting enemies. It will create pressure and give your team an advantage in the map control.
- Pick your battles: Lam excels at eliminating isolated targets as an assassin. Look for opportunities to catch enemies off-guard and burst them down quickly before they can react.
- Time your ultimate: Use Weabebreaker to engage in fights, and ultimately use Death from Below (Ultimate) to control enemies’ movement. Be mindful of the cooldown, as misusing this ability can leave you vulnerable.
- Utilize your passive: Remember that your Passive and Skill Two Space Split allows you to deal massive damage during fights. Use Skill One to dodge skill shots, chase enemies, or escape when necessary.
