SKILLS
This is the list of skills of Prince of Lanling
Passive
Secret Skill • Rush
Description: When the Prince of Lanling moves toward enemy heroes, his movement speed increases by 15% to 30%.
Tips: This passive skill allows the Prince of Lanling to stick to his enemies more easily without relying on mobility skills, maintaining a high frequency of basic attacks while chasing.
Skill 01
Secret Skill-Split
Cooldown: 5/4.8/4.6/4.4/4.2/4s, Cost: 50
Description: The Prince of Lanling slashes at nearby enemies, dealing 300/360/420/480/540/600 (+150% extra Physical Attack) physical damage and summoning a shadow clone to randomly attack a nearby enemy. The shadow clone deals the same amount of damage and prioritizes low-health heroes.
Tips: This is the Prince of Lanling’s primary damage output skill, especially effective against isolated enemies. In team fights, he can reposition himself away from the chaotic center, focusing on his target in a more isolated area for more effective damage output.
Skill 02
Secret Skill • Sling
Cooldown: 8/7.7/7.4/7.1/6.8/6.5s, Cost: 60
Description: The Prince of Lanling throws a shadow dagger, dealing 200/240/280/320/360/400 (+90% extra Physical Attack) physical damage to enemies in its path and reducing their movement speed by 90% for 2 seconds, with the effect gradually decaying. The dagger marks the enemy for 3 seconds, during which time the Prince of Lanling’s attacks stun them for 1 second and restore 350/420/490/560/630/700 (+10% extra max Health) health. When the mark disappears, the target takes 140/168/196/224/252/280 (+12% of the target’s lost Health, increasing by 1% for every 50 extra Physical Attack) physical damage. The dagger stops and is destroyed upon hitting an enemy hero.
Tips: The second damage instance from the dagger is based on the target’s lost health, so dealing as much damage as possible during this period will greatly increase the damage output.
Skill 03
Secret Skill – Strike
Cooldown: 24/21.5/19s, Cost: 100
Description: The Prince of Lanling immediately exits stealth and charges in a specified direction, dealing 700/1050/1400 (+250% extra Physical Attack) physical damage to enemies in his path.
Tips: This skill allows the Prince of Lanling to stealthily approach his target and unleash a powerful burst of damage, making it ideal for quickly eliminating enemies.
Ultimate
Secret Skill – Shadow
Cooldown: 24s, Cost: 0

If the Prince of Lanling stays near enemies for more than 3 seconds while in stealth, the stealth state will automatically be canceled.

Maximizing Lanling’s Potential with Team Synergy
Lanling excels when paired with teammates who can provide crowd control, engage, or peel for him. Some examples of heroes that synergize well with Lanling are:
Miyamoto Musashi
The Prince of Lanling has strong solo combat abilities, allowing frequent roaming and ganking in the early game. Miyamoto Musashi has a targeted crowd control skill that can quickly lock down enemy heroes, increasing the success rate of Lanling’s combo assassination. Miyamoto Musashi is characterized by high damage, high burst, and short-term high damage output, which can quickly lower the target’s health, making Lanling’s second skill more effective.
Kongming
When the Lanling roams and ganks, enemies often escape with low health using flash. Kongming’s ultimate skill can finish off low-health enemy heroes from a distance. His mobility makes him a great fit for cooperating with the Lanling in the middle and jungle areas. During team fights, the Lanling deals high single-target burst damage. Kongming’s passive skill and first skill can compensate for the Lanling shortcomings as an assassin, helping to poke enemy heroes and create opportunities for the Lanling to pick off targets or engage at the right moment.

Hegemon (Xiang Yu)
Hegemon can control the Lanling after he engages, pushing him away and limiting his damage output.
Zhang Liang

General Tips to Counter Prince of Lanling
- Have your team’s tanky heroes protect the core damage dealers, blocking the dagger attack and controlling the Lanling when he appears;
- The Lanling deals more damage to isolated enemies, so don’t face him alone;
- When hit by the Lanling King’s dagger, try to escape and avoid taking additional damage.
General Team Fight Strategy
The Lanling King excels at dealing burst damage with his skills. After unleashing his combo, he should retreat and avoid enemy retaliation. Use invisibility from the brush to avoid being detected by the enemy on the minimap and to prevent them from escaping.
Use invisibility to approach the enemy backline and initiate an attack when the enemy is unprotected.
First, ensure the second skill hits the target, then follow up with the first skill to stun and deal damage. Depending on the situation, use the second part of the third skill for further engagement or choose to retreat.
In team fights, instantly eliminating the enemy’s core damage dealer is the Lanling’s most significant contribution to the team.
