How to play
Menki is a Mage jungler who excels at pushing lanes. The combo Skill 2 → Skill 1 → Basic Attack → Skill 2 pressures enemies.
His hallmark is that using skills raises his Physical Attack along with his Physical Defense and Magic Defense. Skill 1 raises a Shield, and landing a Basic Attack reduces its cooldown. Skill 2 throws a bubble that deals damage and a Slow to the target. The Ultimate flies in a circle, then deals damage and launches enemies up when it stops.
For leveling skills, prioritize the Ultimate first; when you can't take the Ultimate, prioritize Skill 2.
Skills (level values & ratios)
Passive: Dream-eating：Each time he casts any skill, his mass increases. Every 10 mass increases his Physical ATK, Physical DEF, and Magic DEF.
When entering combat, he consumes 5 mass per second. When leaving combat, he consumes 15 mass per second. Physical ATK Bonus 6〜20 / Physical DEF Increase 8〜57 / Magic DEF Bonus 8〜57
Skill 1: Lingering Dream：Wields the power of dreams, gaining a 431 (175 + 150% of Physical ATK) shield for 4 seconds. Additionally deals 352 (250 + 60% of Magic ATK) Magic Damage to nearby enemies and increases his own mass by 30.
Each basic attack hit reduces the CD of Skill 1 by 0.5 seconds. Base Damage 250→500 / Shield 175→350 / CD (s) 5
Skill 2: Dream Bubble：Throws 1 Dream Bubble in a designated direction and simultaneously increases his own Move Speed by 30% for 2 seconds.
The bubble returns to Monkey King's position after reaching its maximum distance.
After retrieving the bubble, he throws it again toward a nearby enemy, and it returns to Monkey King's position once more after reaching its maximum distance.
The Dream Bubble deals 130 (130 + 20% of Magic ATK) Magic Damage to enemies along the path and applies 1 stack of a Move Speed reduction effect lasting 2 seconds (up to 4 stacks; the Move Speed reduction effect is enhanced by Monkey King's Magic ATK).
Retrieving the Dream Bubble twice increases his mass by 30 and turns the bubble into a Dream Bomb. Throwing the Dream Bomb in a designated direction deals 100 (100 + 24% of Magic ATK) to 550 (550 + 132% of Magic ATK) Magic Damage to enemies within the explosion range.
The damage increases with the Dream Bubble's flight time, reaching maximum when the flight time reaches 5.5 seconds. CD (s) 10→8 / Base Damage 130→240 / Explosion Damage 100→240
Ultimate: Dream Roam：Activates Dream Roam. While active, he continuously gains mass and deals 201 (150 + 30% of Physical ATK + 30% of Magic ATK) Magic Damage to enemies along the path. When the roam begins, he briefly gains Super Armor, and recasting the skill can end the roam immediately. When the roam ends, he deals 201 (150 + 30% of Physical ATK + 30% of Magic ATK) Magic Damage to surrounding enemies and knocks them up for 0.75 seconds. CD (s) 40→30 / Base Damage 150→300 / Knockup Damage 150→300
Menki — Early / Mid / Late Game
Early game: In the early game, accumulate mass to grow larger, extending your defense and attack range to secure durability. Your third Basic Attack becomes a wide-range, high-damage sweep, so sticking to enemies while fat is the core of your combat.
Mid game: Skill 1 puts up a Shield while dealing Magic Damage and a 50% Slow for 1.5 seconds to nearby enemies, and Skill 2 throws Nightmare, binding enemies with a Slow on impact and lingering ground damage. Stacking Slows to stick to your target and grinding them down with your attack range is a strong playstyle.
Late game: Skill 3 creates an ever-expanding Nightmare vortex at a target location, dealing Magic Damage and a 50% Slow, and on transmission completion or early activation you move to the center of the vortex and create a Knock-up. You can't use it without at least 30 mass, so secure your mass before team fights and use the engage and Knock-up to create openings.
