P
Signature du VisionnaireHwei prépare les champions ennemis qu'il blesse à l'aide de ses compétences pour sa touche finale : sa signature.Toucher un ennemi avec une deuxième compétence blessante termine sa signature, qui apparaît sous l'ennemi. La signature explose après un court délai, infligeant des dégâts magiques à tous les ennemis à portée.
Strong: full combos detonate a bonus damage mark. Weak: needs both hits — break his painting rhythm with pressure.

R

Strong: a seeking eye that follows and detonates in AoE despair. Weak: it tracks a marked target — run it AWAY from your team.
