"Fan Warrior" Melee Fighter/Assassin
Abilities:
Passive - "Preemptive Strikes": Fan Warrior’s basic abilities are granted additional effects if cast from behind her targets.
Q - “Grapple": Fan Warrior strikes with her weapons in a left-to-right swipe, dealing AoE damage in front of her. If cast from behind: First enemy Champion struck by Grapple is also stunned.
W - “Meridian Blow": Fan Warrior’s next basic attack will deal a harsh blow. If cast from behind: Also gains bonus attack speed for several seconds.
E - “Sweeping Gust": Fan Warrior leaps, traveling a short distance while relaying a forceful kick to deal damage to all enemy units in her path. If cast from behind: All enemy targets struck by Sweeping Gust are also knocked back slightly.
R - “Way of the Warrior”: Fan Warrior steadies herself, sheathing her fans to become hyper-evasive for several seconds. During this time, she gains a large amount of Tenacity, as well as a short dash per nearby enemy Champion that turns her around 180 degrees with each cast. Attacking or casting abilities during this effect will cause it to end.
_Combos: _
- R -> E -> Q -> W -> AAs (for assassinations)
- R -> Q -> W -> AAs -> E (for team-fights)
In team-fights, use R - Way of the Warrior to get to the backline of the enemy team with safety, making sure to dodge any skill shots and dangerous projectiles on the way. Once there, identify a priority target and position yourself behind them, following up with Q - Grapple to stun them and W - Thundering Blow to put a serious dent in their health bar. From then on, feel free to E - Sweeping Gust out of the thick of the fight, kiting back and peeling for your most vulnerable allies as necessary.
