Hero Skills
The developers gave this the killer 4 skills - 3 active and 1 passive. We will tell you what they are, and what combinations will be the most effective.
Passive Skill - Cloud Walker
The buff gives the hero the ability to move along walls. Depending on what he does next, Ling gains "lightness" points, which allow him to travel faster and farther. Every second, 4 points are added if he is on the wall, and 5 points each when dealing damage.
First Skill - Finch Habits
With the help of the first skill, the ability to move along walls is activated and partially masks from enemies. After using this ability, a passive skill is activated and Ling gains points of "lightness", as well as + 30% to movement speed and increases the chance of critical damage by 2,5%.
The character remains vulnerable to damage and falls off the wall if an enemy character imposes control.
Skill XNUMX - Defiant Blade
Depending on the location of the character, the skill changes somewhat. Being on the ground, the hero can dash forward and attack the nearest enemy with his blade. In the second case - Attacking from the wall activates damage in a small area and slows surrounding enemies by 30% for 1,5 seconds. If the attack deals a critical hit, the slow percentage is increased to 45, but the slow time is halved.
The skill restores 35 health points if Ling hits the target.
Ultimate - Blade Hurricane
When the skill is activated, the character jumps up, gains invulnerability and additional movement speed. Ling becomes a "blade hurricane" and lands with massive devastating damage. An area is formed at the point of impact - an illuminated field and 4 blades on the sides for 8 seconds. Enemies caught in the area of impact are knocked up.
If you have time to collect blades along the edges of the arena, then the character will receive an additional 25 lightness points, reduce the reload speed of the first skill and completely reset the reload of the second.

How to play Ling
Ling is quite fast, difficult to reach for the enemy and a dexterous character, so for game balance at the start he has low damage and he himself has quite a few health points, so the character is easy target in the first minutes. In addition, almost any control for the killer will become fatal, it will require a certain sleight of hand and the ability to step aside in time.
That is why it should farm faster, kill mobs and get gold. Look for easier targets first, finishing off fleeing enemy players with low health until you acquire more items. It's best to destroy shooters and mages to prevent them from farming.
To play as Ling, players choose one of two tactics or switch between them during the game:
- First tactic: bush game, ambush. The killer hides in the bushes and waits for the enemy player, after which he suddenly attacks with the help of his ultimate. Immediately after the hit, press the second skill (Daring Blade). Remember that by collecting the blades formed from the ult, you can significantly reduce the cooldown of other skills and thus easily finish your target.
- Second tactic: The hero moves along the walls and will attack from above at a convenient moment. In this case, we swap the skills - first the second one to slow down the enemy, then the ultimate to deal destructive damage over the area. Instead of the Bold Blade ability, you can use a regular auto attack, but you will cause significantly less damage to your opponent.
After carefully studying the guide and practicing, you can easily master the game for a strong killer - Ling. If you haven't found an answer to a question of interest here, or if you have your own ideas and tactics, you can share them in the comments!
