Yu Zhong’s passive is both an offensive and defensive skill. It applies Sha Residue to a target every time he deals damage and gathers Sha Essence for him. Once Sha Residue reaches full stacks on the enemy it restores some of his health and he gains Sha Essence. Once Sha Essence reaches full stacks, he gains a burst of movement speed and spell vamp. You can plan fights around your Sha Essence and Residue to make the most of his full stacks charge. 

  • Upon putting 5 stacks of Sha Residue on a target, it will erupt, consuming 1 stack of Sha Residue every 0.25 second, dealing 40 (+30% Extra Physical Attack) + 2% of the target's lost HP as Physical Damage, restoring 8% of his lost HP, and gathering 8 Sha Essence.
  • When Sha Essence is fully charged, Yu Zhong immediately gains 40% Movement Speed and 20% Spell Vamp.
  • During this period, Sha Essence can be restored by dealing damage to enemies.

First skill – Dragon Tail
