**Skills Overview**

**Passive – Resolute Will**

When Xiang Yu’s health drops below **30%**, he gains **40% damage reduction** for **6 seconds**. This effect can trigger **once every 90 seconds**.
After using **Fearless Charge** or **No Retreat**, Xiang Yu’s next **basic attack** becomes **enhanced**, and he can store up to **2 charges** of this enhanced attack.

**Tips:** Xiang Yu becomes significantly tougher when low on health. Items that increase his maximum HP amplify both his sustain and his skill damage, making him harder to bring down in close combat.

**Skill 1 – Fearless Charge**

**Cooldown:** — **Cost:** —

Xiang Yu dashes forward, **knocking enemies back** along his path. At the end of the charge, he performs an **upward slash**, **knocking enemies airborne for 0.75 seconds**.
Both the charge and the slash deal **200/240/280/320/360/400 (+6% Extra HP)** physical damage.

Afterward, Xiang Yu gains an **enhanced basic attack**—a powerful vertical strike that deals **200/240/280/320/360/400 (+100% Physical Attack) (+80% Extra Physical Attack)** physical damage and **always critically hits** (base **150% critical damage**).

**Tips:** *Fearless Charge* is Xiang Yu’s key engage and control skill. Use it to initiate fights, disrupt enemy backlines, or peel for allies under threat. It can also serve as a mobility tool to reposition or escape.

**Skill 2 – No Retreat**

**Cooldown:** — **Cost:** —

Xiang Yu lets out a **thunderous roar**, dealing **275/330/385/440/495/550 (+90% Extra Physical Attack)** *magic damage* to nearby enemies. It also:

* **Slows** enemies by **15/18/21/24/27/30%** for **2 seconds**,
* **Reduces their damage output by 30%** for **3.5 seconds**.

Afterward, he gains:

* An **enhanced basic attack**, which performs a wide frontal sweep that **heals** him for **300/360/420/480/540/600 (+8% Extra HP)** HP (50% effectiveness vs non-hero units; up to **+50% more healing** at lower HP), and
* A **25/30/35/40/45/50% movement speed boost** for **2 seconds**.

The sweep also deals **40 (+100% Physical Attack)** physical damage.

**Tips:** Use *No Retreat* to weaken multiple enemies and sustain through fights. When chained with *Fearless Charge*, it creates a reliable two-stage crowd control combo.

**Ultimate – Hegemon’s Slash**

**Cooldown:** — **Cost:** —

Xiang Yu channels his might and releases a massive **blade wave**, dealing **900/1350/1800 (+200% Extra Physical Attack)** physical damage to enemies in its path.

* Enemies hit by the **edge** of the slash take **50% additional damage** and are **stunned for 1 second**.
* The lower Xiang Yu’s HP, the higher the skill’s damage—up to an **extra 50%**.
* **20% of the total damage dealt** is converted into HP.

During the channel, Xiang Yu becomes **Indomitable**, preventing death and ensuring his health remains at **a minimum of 1 HP**.

**Tips:** *Hegemon’s Slash* is devastating in teamfights. Its wide range and true damage potential make it perfect for finishing off grouped enemies. Use it when your health is low to unleash its full power while benefiting from the *Indomitable* state.
