Base Attributes (Lv.1)

---

Passive — Transient Immortal

Dual-form passive that reshapes Suyou every skill cast. Every active skill has a Tap and Hold version. The cast type picks the form.

• Tap-casting any skill → Mortal form: grants 40 Movement Speed and decreases the interval between Basic Attacks (faster BA cadence).
• Hold-casting any skill → Immortal form: increases Basic Attack damage by 125% and grants 20% Physical Damage Reduction. While in Immortal form, for every 20 extra Physical Attack Suyou has, he gains 1% additional Physical Damage Reduction (max 40%).

Skill 1 — Blade Surge (Mobility · CC)

Cooldown: 8.5s base

• Tap: Suyou throws his weapon in the target direction, dealing 250 (+100% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in the weapon's path, blinks to the weapon's location, catches it, and performs a slash in the opposite direction dealing 375 (+150% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage.
• Hold: Suyou channels the Immortal's power and charges in the target direction, dealing 250 (+100% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies along the path. When hitting an enemy hero, he stops and stuns enemies in a rectangular area in front for 0.6s. Charge distance increases with hold time.
• Suyou can be controlled while charging, but the skill cannot be interrupted.

---

Skill 2 — Soul Sever (Ace · Burst)

Cooldown: 8.5s base

• Tap: Suyou performs a sweeping attack with his weapon, dealing Physical Damage equal to 300 (+200% Extra Physical Attack) plus 15% of target's Lost HP to enemies in a fan-shaped area.
• Hold: Suyou channels the power of the Immortal to perform 3 cleaves in a fan-shaped area. The two first strikes deal 250 (+80% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage each, while the final strike deals 400 (+125% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage and recovers 150 (+50% Extra Physical Attack) HP for himself.

Ultimate — Evil Queller (Damage · Debuff)

Cooldown: 8.5s base

[note] In-client shows 5-level scaling for this skill, unusual for an ultimate. This is documented verbatim from the client — it may be the third active skill in a non-traditional kit structure rather than a classical "ult" slot.

• Tap: Suyou glides backward and swings his weapon in the target direction, dealing 420 (+120% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in a rectangular area and on his path backward, and reducing their Movement Speed by 30% for 1.5s.
• Hold: Suyou uses the Immortal's power to shoot a deadly arrow in the target direction, dealing 580 (+165% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to the target hit. The range increases with the hold time.
• Suyou can be controlled while charging, but the skill cannot be interrupted.

Combo framework (in-client mechanics only)

• Two entirely different kits in one hero. Every active skill is a choice: Tap (mobility + faster BA cadence, Mortal form) or Hold (channel + damage reduction + 125% BA damage, Immortal form). Cast type flips Suyou's passive state.
• No mana, no energy: resource-less. The only limiter is CD; every skill shares an 8.5s base CD (level-scaled to 7.0s at L5).
• Execute burst: S2 Tap adds 15% of target's Lost HP on top of 300 (+200% Extra Phys Atk) — strong finisher on low-HP targets.
• Sustain: S2 Hold's final strike recovers 150 (+50% Extra Phys Atk) HP — sustain tied to commitment (Hold), not to Tap.
• Stacking DR in Immortal form: With sufficient +Extra Physical Attack items (Hunter Strike, Malefic Roar, Blade of Despair), Suyou's Immortal DR can reach the 40% cap — a front-line fighter stance entered on demand by Hold-casting any skill.
• Mobility stance vs. tank stance: Tap builds = Mortal form uptime → mobile assassin (+40 MS, faster BAs). Hold builds = Immortal form uptime → bruiser (+125% BA dmg, up to 40% DR). Kit is designed to swap midfight.
