How to play Ling:
Ling’s built in mobility through his passive (Cloud Walker) allows him to quickly travel the map from wall to wall. His passive also grants him increased crit chance.
As an assassin, Ling can dish out damage but can’t take very much, making him easily killed if he’s crowd controlled or caught out by multiple enemies.
Tactics:
Early game (level 1-7): Ling will need to farm up early in the jungle to get a few items before coming online to assassinate enemy targets.
Mid game (level 8-12): Seek out lone targets, especially fragile ones like the enemy marksman and mage. In team fights, assist your team by isolating and eliminating priority targets.
Late game (level 13+): If you face yourself frequently getting locked down and killed easily in team fights, consider split pushing. While your team pressures a turret on one side of the map, you pressure a turret on the other side. This will force enemies to either split up or lose one of their turrets.
Ling Skills
- Cloud Walker
- Finch Poise
- Defiant Sword
- Defiant Sword
- Tempest of Blades
Passive – Cloud Walker
Ling’s superb Lightness Skill helps him leap among walls. When resting on the wall, He gains 4 Lightness Points per second when he’s on a walland 5 extra Lightness Points each time he deals damage. Ling gains 2 times Crit Chance from all sources but only has 140% Critical Damage.
Skill 1 – Finch Poise
Passive: Ling’s Critical Chance is permanently increased by 2.5%–10%.
Active: Ling casts his Lightness Skill, leaping onto the designated wall, entering half-stealth state, restoring Lightness Points more quickly and gaining 30% Movement Speed. If Ling receives damage, he will leave the half-stealth state. If he is controlled, he will fall onto the ground and be slowed by 30% for 2 seconds. When using this skill to jump from a wall to another, it will reset the Cooldown and refresh the half-stealth state.
Skill 2 – Defiant Sword
Ling charges in a designated direction and stabs the nearby enemies at his destination, dealing 300–400 (+40% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage.
If Ling casts this skill when he is on the wall, he’ll dash to the target location on the ground, dealing 300–400 (+40% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies within a small area and slowing them down by 30% for 1.5 seconds. If this attack critically strikes, the enemies will be slowed by extra 45% for 0.75 seconds. Defiant Sword is regarded as Basic Attack, can trigger attack effects, and restores 35–60 HP for Ling each time it hits an enemy.
Skill 3 – Tempest of Blades
Ling leaps into the air, becoming invincible and gaining 10% extra Movement Speed for 1.5 seconds. He can move freely when in the air. He then lands on the ground, dealing 250–450 (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in the area, knocking those in the center airborne for 1 second, and creating a Sword Field for 8 seconds.
Four Tempest of Blades will also appear on the edge of the Sword Field. Ling can touch them to reduce the cooldown of Finch Poise by 4 seconds, reset the cooldown of Defiant Sword, and gain 25 Lightness points.
