Xiang Yu

Skills

1. 
   Skill 1

   Warlord's Courage

   Direct skill damage on up to three marches in a fan that also lowers their defence for three seconds.

2. 
   Skill 2

   Snow-hooved Stallion

   Cavalry gain attack and march speed, and when struck they sometimes gain a short extra burst of speed.

3. 
   Skill 3

   Conqueror of All

   Attacking a city or stronghold, his march deals a little more damage and basic attacks may add a direct hit.

4. 
   Skill 4

   Forceful Spearhead

   On the map his active costs less rage; each cast stacks a cavalry damage bonus that also slows the march, up to six.

5. 
   Awakened

   Unbeatable Warlord

   More skill damage, and a short further boost whenever the march is given faster rage gain.

Very high AoE output that warps open-field targeting; strongest in the current open-field five-march setup.

Pairings
