How to play
Ying is a Fighter who combines Crowd Control with high damage. With a combo that chains Skill 2 into Skill 1, the Ultimate, a Basic Attack, and the Ultimate, you can leverage your advantage while moving in and out of fights. Every time you use a skill, your Basic Attacks are empowered.
Skill 1 knocks up enemies and deals damage. Skill 2 makes a short advance and can then dash farther. The Ultimate dashes forward while knocking up enemies along its path, and using it a second time deals bonus damage.
For skill leveling, start with Skill 1, then prioritize the Ultimate whenever possible. When the Ultimate is unavailable, prioritize Skill 2.

Ying — Early / Mid / Late Game
Early game: Skill 1 "Crescent Moon" deals Physical Attack and a knock-up to enemies in a line, and Skill 2 "Cloud Chase" dashes forward while boosting Movement Speed, applying a Slow at the end. The basics of laning are learning the rhythm of landing these skills to build Spear Will, then spending it with Basic Attacks.
Mid game: The core is using Basic Attacks differently depending on whether you have 1, 2, or 3 stacks of Spear Will. The 2-stack healing move heals more the lower your HP is (up to double), and the 3-stack move lets you leap and move ignoring terrain while gaining Movement Speed and reduced damage taken, so play around your mobility.
Late game: The Ultimate "Star Chaser" dashes forward dealing Physical Attack and a knock-up, then performs a flurry of thrusts at maximum range. During its cast you gain CC resistance and reduced damage taken, so in team fights dive in and unleash burst damage and CC with your Spear Will moves.
