Lore
A mysterious young woman who guides the ember butterflies using her Lantern of Spirits.
Skills
Crimson Butterflies
BuffEvery time Zhuxin channels Lantern Flare, she converts the Mana spent into up to 15 Crimson Butterflies to follow her Spirit Lantern. After Zhuxin stops channeling Lantern Flare, the Crimson Butterflies will gradually disappear, each restoring 5% of her Max Mana.
Zhuxin has a naturally high base Max Mana, but it doesn't scale with her level.
Fluttering Grace
AOEBuffZhuxin deals 150 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to all enemies in a fan-shaped area and applies 1 stack(s) of Soul Snare. Zhuxin also slows all enemy heroes hit by 20% and gains 20% of extra Movement Speed herself for 1.5s.
Lantern Flare
DamageCCHold: Hold the skill button to move the Spirit Lantern. It deals 35 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to all enemies in range every 0.33s (Magic Bonus increases to 60% against minions) and applies Soul Snare to enemy heroes hit. When an enemy hero reaches 10 stacks of Soul Snare, the Crimson Butterflies capture them, pulling them airborne for 1s.
Release: Throw all captured enemies to the target location, dealing 200 (+150% Total Magic Power) (+ 10% captured target's Max HP) Magic Damage to all enemies in the area. If an enemy is hit multiple times, subsequent damage decays by 80%.
After a target is captured, Soul Snare cannot stack on them again for 4s. During this time, this skill deals 15% extra damage to that target.
Crimson Beacon
ShieldMobilityZhuxin blinks to the target location, gaining a 400 (+100% Total Magic Power) shield and creating a field for 6s. The field deals 30 (+10% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage and applies 1 stack of Soul Snare to nearby enemies every 0.5s.
Synergizes With
Zhuxin can provide great damage and CC, but she can't realize her potential until later in the game, so heroes with CC can help Zhuxin get through the early period. Zhuxin also works well with sustained damage heroes like Belerick, Kimmy, and Cici to dish out a surprising amount of damage.
Strong Against
Zhuxin is a good counter to enemies with less range and low mobility, such as Popol and Kupa and Cyclops, where she has a big advantage.
Weak Against
Like most Mages, Zhuxin is countered by heroes with high mobility and burst, such as Fanny and Saber, who can quickly take her down.
