SKILLS
This is the list of skills of Pei
Passive
Blast
Description: In human form, Pei’s basic attack range is increased, and his basic attacks deal an additional 16 magic damage. If Pei continuously attacks the same target within 3 seconds, this extra damage can stack up to three times the base value. Each successful basic attack restores 5 energy.
Tips: Pei recovers energy more quickly in human form, preparing him for a burst when switching to Tiger Form. In Tiger Form, Pei has higher base attributes and stronger combat skills, but energy recovery is slower, requiring synergy with his human form.
Skill 01
Striker Stance
Cooldown: 8/7.6/7.2/6.8/6.4/6s, Cost: 40
Description: Pei unleashes a powerful ki blast, dealing 250/300/350/400/450/500 (+115% extra Physical Attack) magic damage to enemies in its path and an additional 8% of the target’s current health as magic damage. It also reduces their movement speed by 25/30/35/40/45/50% for 1.5 seconds. Hitting an enemy unit with this skill restores 20 energy.
Tips: This skill combines damage and control effects, with a long attack range that allows Pei to harass enemies from a distance. The short cooldown makes it a strong execution tool, giving Pei assassination potential comparable to other strong finishers.
Skill 02
Guarding Stance
Cooldown: 8s, Cost: 50
Description: Pei releases an aura around himself, dealing 100/150/200/250/300/350 (+70% extra Physical Attack) magic damage to nearby enemies. This also forms a shield that absorbs 400 (+150% extra Physical Attack) damage and increases Pei’s attack speed by 30/34/38/42/46/50% for 5 seconds. While the shield is active, it deals 20/30/40/50/60/70 (+14% extra Physical Attack) magic damage every 0.5 seconds to nearby enemies.
Tips: The aura shield doesn’t disappear when switching forms. When fighting in complex terrain like the jungle, Pei can use quick movements to deal excessive damage and skillfully evade enemy pursuit by jumping over obstacles.
Ultimate
Tiger Form
Cooldown: 6.4/5.6/4.8/4s, Cost: 0
Description: Pei switches to Tiger Form, gaining a 20/25/30% movement speed boost for 1 second and enhancing his next two basic attacks for 7 seconds. The first strike pounces on the target, dealing 20/110/200/290 (+100% Physical Attack) physical damage and applying a 90% slow for 1 second. The second strike, if used within 5 seconds, deals 20/110/200/290 (+100% Physical Attack) magic damage to enemies in front of Pei.
Tips: This is Pei’s core skill, allowing him to switch between two forms with completely different skill sets starting from level 1. Choosing the appropriate form depending on the battle situation is key to success.
