Guan Yu Skills and Abilities

The Defied Warrior (Passive): Guan Yu gains 2% movement speed for every 200 units moved, entering a charge state after moving 2000 units. When Guan Yu’s movement speed is reduced below 375 points or he is controlled, his maximum energy bar decreases by 20% every 0.1 seconds. Charge State: Guan Yu’s basic attacks knock back enemies and deal (+100% physical attack + 10% maximum health) physical damage. Moving towards enemies increases his movement speed by 20%.
Cooldown: 0s Cost: 0
Tips: Guan Yu should constantly move to trigger his passive charge state, increasing his basic attack output and knockback effect. Since the damage is a percentage of maximum health, Guan Yu should prefer items that increase health and movement speed.

Heroic Charge (Skill 01): Guan Yu spins his blade to deal 215/430/645/860/1075/ 1290(+127% physical attack) physical damage. Charge State: Guan Yu charges forward, knocking back enemies and dealing (+100% physical attack + 10% maximum health) physical damage, concluding with a forward slash that deals 250/500/750/1000/1250/1500(+150% physical attack) physical damage.
Cooldown: 8/7.2/6.4/5.6/4.8/4s Cost: 0
Tips: In non-charge state, it’s an AOE damage skill. Guan Yu should use this skill multiple times in team fights to hit more enemies, especially in charge state for a burst of damage and advancement.

Soaring Green Dragon (Skill 02): Guan Yu removes control effects and increases his movement speed by 30/34/38/42/46/50% for 2 seconds. Charge State: He jumps forward, knocking back enemies and dealing 335/470/605/740/875/1010(+112% physical attack) physical damage.
Cooldown: 14s Cost: 0
Tips: The movement speed bonus makes Guan Yu more agile. Since it can remove control effects, it’s an excellent escape skill. Use it after the enemy has used their control skills for maximum effect.

Razor Cavalry (Ultimate) Guan Yu reduces the distance required to enter the charge state by 75%, lasting 10 seconds. Charge State: Summons cavalry to charge forward, knocking back enemies and dealing (+100% physical attack + 10% maximum health) physical damage.
Cooldown: 70/60/50s Cost: 0 Tips: Allows Guan Yu to quickly enter charge state, knocking back a wide range of enemies, useful for protecting allies or initiating.

Skills Using Techniques

Enter the charge state before each fight by moving, using the joystick to control skill direction; Skill 1 for output, Skill 2 to remove control after the enemy has used their abilities, and Skill 3 for protecting allies or initiating.

Guan Yu Best Partners

  • Zhuang Zhou: Guan Yu needs to break free from controls to maintain his charge state. Zhuang Zhou’s abilities, combined with Guan Yu’s own, allow him to easily execute multiple charges in a single team fight.
  • Da Qiao: Her skills can speed up Guan Yu’s charge, and her silence can reduce the risk of Guan Yu being controlled while charging.

Guan Yu Counter

  • Sun Shangxiang can easily kite Guan Yu, avoiding his skills.
  • Sun Bin’s ultimate silence can prevent Guan Yu from acting effectively when he enters the battlefield.
  • Squishy heroes should maintain a safe distance from Guan Yu in charge state;
  • Do not focus main output abilities on Guan Yu;
  • Avoid using primary control abilities on Guan Yu when he has Skill 2 or his ultimate available.

Team Fight and Gameplay Strategy

Detail 1: Constantly use movement to enhance combat capabilities.
Detail 2: Skill 2 can remove control effects.
Before team fights, Guan Yu should enter charge state by moving, making it easier for him to initiate. Use Skill 1 for AOE damage among enemies, and if controlled, use his ultimate or Skill 2 to break free. The ultimate, being an AOE skill, should hit as many enemies as possible for maximum value.
