How to play
Liang is a Mage with powerful Crowd Control. By chaining Skill 2 twice into Skill 1 and his Ultimate, he summons a magic circle that locks enemies down and finishes them off.
Continuing to attack the same target for a short time deals bonus damage. Skill 1 summons a barrier that Stuns enemies it hits. Skill 2 summons a magic circle that deals damage over time. The Ultimate pins an enemy down, dealing Stun and damage. When leveling up your skills, prioritize the Ultimate, and when it isn't available, prioritize Skill 2.
Skills (level values & ratios)
Passive: Power Word - Trance：If the interval between damage from basic attacks or skills is within 1.5s, he enters a continuous-attack state against the target, dealing 120 (120 + 70% of Magic ATK) True DMG every 1.2s. True Damage 120〜260
Skill 1: Power Word - Barrier：Summons 4 magic barriers at the designated location. When an enemy touches a barrier, it disappears, dealing 360 (360 + 75% of Magic ATK) Magic DMG and stunning the target for 0.75s. When the stun ends, the enemy is slowed by 25% for 0.5s.
An enemy that touches another barrier within a short time takes reduced damage. Stun effects cannot stack, but nearby enemies are slowed by 25% for 1.25s. CD (s) 11→9 / Base Damage 360→720 / Slow 25%→50% / MP Cost 60
Skill 2: Power Word - Fate：Summons a magic circle at the designated location for 5.5s. Deals 110 (110 + 24% of Magic ATK) Magic DMG every 0.5s to one enemy within the circle and grants Vision of the area. Against non-hero units, the circle's damage is increased by 50%. While Zhang Liang is within the circle, his Move Speed increases by 60.
Up to 22 magic circles can be summoned at once. Every 12s (varying with CD reduction), Skill 2 gains 1 charge (up to 3 charges). Base Damage 110→220 / CD (s) 8 / MP Cost 60
Ultimate: Power Word - Control：Uses Power Word to suppress one enemy hero for 2.2s, dealing 100 (100 + 18% of Magic ATK) Magic DMG to the target every 0.5s.
When Zhang Liang finishes casting the skill, creates a magic zone at the target's feet for 0.5s that deals 240 (240 + 30% of Magic ATK) Magic DMG and stuns for 0.75s any enemy that steps into the area. CD (s) 55→45 / Base Damage 100→200 / Second Hit Damage 240→360 / MP Cost 130
Liang — Early / Mid / Late Game
Early game: In the early game, defend the mid lane. Even without your Ultimate, Skill 1's Crowd Control is strong, and its long range can cut off the escape route of fleeing enemies, making it good for hunting enemy Mages together with a high-damage ally.
Mid game: Once your Ultimate is available, your Crowd Control shows its true value. Build up your economy while watching the minimap to go help out, and when allies are nearby, never let an enemy you've caught with Crowd Control escape.
Late game: In late-game team fights, use your long range to chain various Crowd Control from behind the Tank or from the bushes, working with your team to finish enemies and prevent their escape. You are an easy target for Assassins, so play around your tower and jungle.
