Suggested Combo Order
Use the first skill to stun the enemy, then the second skill to rapidly stack marks, and finally the third skill to deal a lot of damage.
Liang Proficiency and Capabilities
Power Word- Trance (Passive): The time between two basic attack or skill damages that Zhang Liang deals to any enemy in a 1.5-second period is referred to as the “continuous attack state.” The adversary will suffer an extra 100 (+50% magic power) points of true damage for every 1.2 seconds spent in this state; this damage rises by 10 points for every hero level.
Cost: 0 Cooldown: 0s
Advice: The main goal is to “hold the enemy down” by attacking any enemy at a specific frequency in order to deal more damage.
Power Word-Barrier (Skill 01): Zhang Liang uses word spirit magic to conjure four parallel magic barriers. When an enemy touches one of the barriers, they take 400/450/500/550/600/650 (+75% magic power) magic damage, staggered for 0.75 seconds, then 50% slowed for 0.5 seconds, and the barrier is broken. If an enemy touches the barriers again, their damage is reduced by 50%; this slows them down by 50% for 1.25 seconds without the stun effect.
Cost: 80 Cooldown: 11/10.6/10.2/9.8/9.4/9s
Advice: This short-range hard control ability is useful for both capturing and evading foes because it primarily blocks hostile mobility. It can be employed as a powerful initiating skill with practice.
Power Word – Fate (Skill 02) Zhang Liang uses word spirit magic to call forth an eroding magic circle that deals 120/144/168/192/216/240 (+17% magic power) magic damage every 0.5 seconds to an enemy inside it. Up to two circles can be present at once, and circles damage minions and jungle monsters by 50% more. Circles can recharge up to three times, each lasting 5.5 seconds, and do so every 12 seconds (depending on cooldown reduction). Within the circle, Zhang Liang’s movement speed increases by 60, allowing for vision as well.
Cost: 80 Cooldown: 2s
Advice: Although the talent is uncontrollable, it has a wide range and a strong sustained output. To keep foes within range, it must anticipate their movements and use other skills. When two circles are placed consecutively, a large area is covered, making it impossible for foes to get out of the attack range.
Zhang Liang uses word spirit magic to ensnare an enemy hero for 2.2 seconds, suppressing them and dealing 120/150/180 (+15% magic power) magic damage every 0.5 seconds. This is known as Power Word-Control (Ultimate). Following full casting, a magic area is formed beneath the target, which stuns opponents within it for 0.75 seconds and does 240/300/360 (+30% magic power) magic damage.
Cost: 130 Cooldown: 50/45/40s
Advice: Although the damage is not great, kills can frequently be guaranteed by the combination of the second skill’s damage and the skill’s lengthy control period. Coordinating with allies that have high damage greatly raises the kill chance.
