How to play
Mai Shiranui is a Mage who combines mobility with burst damage. By chaining Skill 2 into Skill 1 and her Ultimate, she can quickly dart in and out of fights to finish off enemies.
At set intervals, she gains an enhanced Basic Attack. Skill 1 dashes forward, launching enemies in the target area into the air. Skill 2 throws a fan, dealing damage and Slow to enemies. The Ultimate dashes forward, dealing damage while knocking enemies back. When leveling up your skills, prioritize the Ultimate, and when it isn't available, prioritize Skill 2.
Skills (level values & ratios)
Passive: HISSATSU SHINOBI-BACHI：Every 5s, enhances the next basic attack. It deals 100 (100 + 100% of Physical ATK) Magic DMG to the enemy hit, knocks it back, and restores 10 Energy.
While casting an enhanced basic attack or a skill, sliding the left stick increases Move Speed by 50% for 0.5s and turns in that direction. This effect decays over time. Base Damage 100〜198
Skill 1: HISHOU RYUUENJIN：Dashes in the designated direction and performs a spinning kick, dealing 600 (600 + 80% of Physical ATK) Magic DMG to enemies in the area and knocking them up for 0.75s.
On hitting an enemy, restores 25 Energy. CD (s) 10→6 / Base Damage 600→1000 / MP Cost 70
Skill 2: KACHOUSEN：Throws a fan in the designated direction, dealing 450 (450 + 90% of Physical ATK) Magic DMG to the first enemy hit and heavily slowing it for 0.5s. At the same time, reduces the target's Magic DEF by 50 for 3s. On hitting an enemy, restores 10 Energy and deals the same Magic DMG to the nearest unit behind the target (damage to heroes is halved). CD (s) 3→2.5 / Base Damage 450→900 / Resistance Reduction 50→150 / MP Cost 35
Ultimate: CHOU HISSATSU SHINOBI-BACHI：Dashes in the designated direction, dealing 800 (800 + 110% of Physical ATK) Magic DMG to enemies along its path and knocking them back. Enemies hit have their Physical ATK reduced by 20%.
On hitting an enemy, restores 25 Energy. CD (s) 25→20 / Base Damage 800→1200 / Attack Reduction 20%→30% / MP Cost 100
Mai Shiranui — Early / Mid / Late Game
Early game: Early on, minimize your number of deaths. Take Skill 2 at level 1 to wear down minions, clear waves with the Passive when you have the chance, and after level 2 hit the back minions with Skill 1 into Passive, then finish off the remaining HP with Skill 2.
Mid game: Once your equipment comes together you can instantly delete the carry (backline damage dealer) with a full skill combo, so spend more time lurking in the bushes and waiting.
Late game: With six items complete, landing all your skills lets you instantly delete any non-Tank hero that doesn't have a Witch's Cloak. In team fights, use Skill 2 to chip them down; the enemy carry loses nearly all combat ability if you land even one hit.
