In “Honor of Kings,” Yang Jian proves to be a strong Warrior/Assassin Fighter with a remarkable Lifesteal Skillset that allows him to inflict a lot of damage to both single targets and areas of effect (AoE). Enhancing Yang Jian’s lifesteal skills, increasing his damage output, and boosting his mobility and resilience to handle the complexities of combat are the main goals of designing an equipment build for him. He can quickly adjust, target important opponents, and impose dominance over the battlefield in team battles thanks to his special combination of agility, strong skills, and the strategic use of his ultimate. This allows his team to take advantage of his advantages and win.
Suggested Combo Order
After controlling foes with Skill 2, use a basic attack, switch between basic attacks and Skill 3 to deal damage, and then use Skill 1 to execute.
Yang Jian’s Capabilities and Skills
Mind Games (Passive): Yang Jian’s enemies shorten their control duration by 20% for every enemy hero, with a 60% decrease possible.
Cooldown: 0s Cost: 0 Tips: Yang Jian’s battle agility increases when more enemy heroes surround him, reducing their control time.
Unleash the Hound (Skill 01): Yang Jian calls forth Xiao Tian Quan to charge, inflicting physical damage on the first enemy struck with 210/255/300/345/390/435 (+45% physical attack). If an enemy is struck, the target gains five seconds of vision, enabling a second skill activation to charge at the enemy. This skill deals 320/395/470/545/620/695 (+65% physical attack) physical damage, along with 16% of the target’s missing health as physical damage, with a maximum damage of 800 against non-hero targets. The Reverse the Universe cooldown is instantly renewed if Yang Jian defeats the target directly or within the mark duration.
Cost: 45 Cooldown: 6s
Advice: This is a skillshot that necessitates anticipating the opponent’s next action. To guarantee a better death rate, Yang Jian can either wait for the enemy to utilize their mobility skill before performing the second activation, or he can teleport behind them instantaneously after the first skill hit. When the target is killed, the skill cooldown is refreshed.
Yang Jian sweeps in Vain Disillusionment (Skill 02), lowering foes’ movement speed by 50% for two seconds and dealing 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, or 500 (plus 100% physical attack) physical damage. Additionally, targets are stunned for 0.5 seconds, or 1 second if their health percentage is greater than Yang Jian’s. Yang Jian’s basic attacks inflict additional 80/120/160/200/240/280 (+35% physical attack) true damage for five seconds after striking an adversary.
Cost: 70 Cooldown: 10/9.6/9.2/8.8/8.4/8.0s
Sight of Origin (Ultimate): Yang Jian does 300/450/600 (+72% physical attack) physical damage with three lasers released by the Heavenly Eye. Three beams are fired in the third release, and following beams from the second one inflict 30% damage. Yang Jian’s health is restored by each laser strike at 130/195/260 (+33% physical attack), with a 50% healing effect for successive hits.
Cost: 100 Cooldown: 28/22/16s
Advice: Yang Jian must be able to anticipate the movements of the adversary in order to use this talent. He can also deliver a significant amount of AOE damage, and the more damage he causes, the greater the healing effect. When adversaries are grouped together, the skill’s third component can produce significant rewards.
Yang Jian’s Ideal Partners
Gao Jianli: With their strong AOE damage and capacity to harvest the battlefield, both heroes can start or follow up in team battles, increasing the likelihood that they will win. Yang Jian’s Skill 2, which has the ability to slow or stun adversaries, increases the effectiveness of Gao Jianli’s ultimate by making its hit more difficult.
Li Bai: Yang Jian can use his Skill 1 for executions, complimenting teammates for successful kills, after Li Bai uses his ultimate to inflict a wave of damage. Due to their powerful roaming and gank abilities, Yang Jian and Li Bai work well together to capture adversaries and facilitate the unlocking of Li Bai’s ultimate.
Yan Jian’s Counter
Sun Shangxiang’s mobility allows her to effortlessly avoid Yang Jian’s talents. While evading Yang Jian’s talents, Diaochan can efficiently kite him.
Counter Advice: Keep a safe distance from weak heroes to avoid close-range attacks; once subdued or frightened, it’s simple to be slain. Because Yang Jian’s ult can have strong output and control effects, try to avoid gathering too closely during team battles.
Tips for Use and Team Fight Techniques
To guarantee skill hits in the early game, work with managing friends. Use sustained output skills to put opposing backlines at risk in the middle to late game.
Yang Jian should continuously flank throughout team battles to restrict enemy positions, take advantage of chances to use Skill 1 to dive into the backline, and keep dealing damage. He can go into a kill-harvesting phase after obtaining a kill and reloading Skill 1’s CD.
