This arrow will travel 70 units after it is fired and earn +40% bonus damage to gods for each bounce, up to a maximum of two bounces, if it hits a wall after being fired. If the target has the Mark of the Golden Crow, this arrow will stun them.
Skill 2: Mark of the Golden Crow
Hou Yi uses the Mark of the Golden Crow to mark an adversary. Hou Yi’s special abilities and standard attacks do additional damage to marked foes equal to 10% of their lost health. Hou Yi can see marked foes, including stealthed gods, on the minimap. There is a 10-second mark.
Skill 3: Divebomb
Hou Yi launches into the air, where he can briefly target an enemy some distance away before fast diving down the ground and dealing damage to any nearby foes. The target is knocked back if they bear the Mark of the Golden Crow.
Ultimate: Sunbreaker
Nine arrows are fired into the air by Hou Yi, each of which hits a sun. The nine suns descend one by one, gradually slowing and doing harm to a particular area. The movement speed of a target with the Mark of the Golden Crow is reduced by 20% more.
