Agudo Skills and Abilities
Forest Encounter (Passive)
Cooldown: 0, Cost: 0
Agudo’s Smite is replaced with “Release,” allowing her to free jungle monsters through creating a tree hole. When a jungle monster successfully escapes, it grants her gold and experience, along with a jungle monster assist effect. Each of Agudo’s basic attacks on heroes or buildings will also prompt her animal companion to attack the target, dealing 50% of the default damage to turrets. Agudo’s slingshot basic attacks only deal (75% physical attack) physical damage.
Tips: Gaining assist effects allows Agudo to roam and help teammates gain an advantage in their lanes.
Savage Growth (Skill 01)
Cooldown: 14s, Cost: 0
Agudo plants a bush, increasing allied movement speed by 30/34/38/42/46/50% (excluding minions) and healing them by 30/36/42/48/54/60 points every 0.5 seconds within it. Agudo and her summons receive double the healing amount and a 30/36/42/48/54/60% attack speed boost within the area. Enemies in the area are slowed by 10%, and staying in it for 3 seconds will root them for 1 second.
Passive: Capturing more than 2/4/6 lizards summons a small/medium/large lizard to assist in battle.
Tips: You can use this skill to slow and root enemies from behind, coordinating with teammates for kills.
Roll, Ball! (Skill 02)
Cooldown: 13s, Cost: 0
Ball clings to Agudo, rolling to charge up, dealing 40/48/56/64/72/80 (+1.5% max health) physical damage to nearby enemies every 0.25 seconds. Upon full charge, it dashes forward, dealing 120/144/168/192/216/240 (+4.5% max health) physical damage to touched enemies, with charge damage reduced to 75% for multiple hits on the same target. Charge distance increases with charge time, immune to one control effect during casting, canceling early puts it on 70% cooldown.

Cooldown: 40/33/26s, Cost: 0
Ball leaves Agudo, charging to a designated point dealing 450/750/1050 (+70% physical attack) physical damage and knocking up enemies, then fighting independently. Casting refreshes the cooldown of bomb seeds, healing Ball to at least 10% health and Agudo to 25% max health. Casting removes control effects on herself, recasting calls Ball back.
Passive: Releasing more than 2/4/6 mountain beasts/cheetahs summons a small/medium/large mountain beast/cheetah to assist in battle. Releasing more than 2/3/4 crimson/blue statues, Ball’s attack effects are enhanced differently.

Agudo Battle Tips and Technique
- Using the second ability, Roll, Ball!, Agudo can quickly support allies, deploying the third ability on the enemy’s backline upon arrival to threaten them with Ball and summoned jungle monsters.
- The first ability is cast where they continue to fight, providing buffs and controlling enemies. After casting the third ability, Agudo becomes vulnerable; focus on safe positioning and use the second ability to dodge enemies when in danger. When safe, Agudo can attack enemies to direct her summons’ targets and provide a movement speed boost.
- After deploying the third ability, Agudo becomes very vulnerable, so choose moments to focus fire and kill, avoiding letting Agudo heal teammates or release team buffs. Use the second ability for rapid support, positioning, and enemy avoidance in dangerous situations.
