LAM Skills Analysis and Abilities

Lam has a unique set of skills and abilities that make him a potent threat on the battlefield. Let’s take a closer look at each of these abilities and how they contribute to Lam’s playstyle.

Hunter (Passive)

Wavebreaker (Skill 01)

Space Split
(Skill 02)

Death From Below
(Skill 03)

Hunter (Passive): When an enemy’s health is below 30%, Lam considers them as “prey.” Lam’s skills and normal attacks deal an additional 15% true damage to “prey.”

Cooldown: 0s, Cost: 0
Tip: Lam deals “true damage,” which is effective against tank heroes.

Wavebreaker (Skill 01): Lam covers himself with sorcery, entering a “submerge” state and gaining 60 movement speed for 3 seconds. After the duration, he will jump out of the water and return half of the cooldown time. When using skill 1 in the submerged state, Lam will rush out of the water to perform a wave-breaking strike, dealing 300 (+120% bonus physical attack) physical damage and applying a 50% slow effect on the target for 1.5 seconds.

Passive: No duration limit in the river area; if a “hero prey” appears within 1500 range, the speed boost increases by 450.

Cooldown: 11/10.4/9.8/9.2/8.6/8s, Cost: 40
Tip: Using skill 1 while submerged will grant a short dash effect.

Space Split (Skill 02): Lam attacks nearby enemies, tearing their wounds twice, dealing 225 (+30% bonus physical attack) physical damage each time. For each enemy hit, Lam gains a stack, up to 3 stacks. Using a normal attack will cause Lam to chase the enemy and remove one stack, dealing 35 (+70% physical attack) physical damage and recovering 80 (+28% bonus physical attack) health points. This effect only applies 40% on minions and monsters. Each triggered chase reduces skill 2 cooldown by 1 second. When released in the submerged state, it includes a dash in a specified direction and returns half of skill 1’s cooldown time.

Cooldown: 8/7.8/7.6/7.4/7.2/7s, Cost: 40
Tip: Suitable for quickly engaging enemies or escaping.

Death From Below (Ultimate): Lam throws a dagger, stunning enemies in its path. The first stage of the dagger inflicts a 90% slow for 0.5 seconds. After a brief delay, Lam will dash towards the dagger’s location, dragging enemies in his path to the endpoint for execution, dealing 480 (+150% bonus physical attack) physical damage. When released in the submerged state, the execution won’t throw the dagger, directly triggering the subsequent effects, and returning half of skill 1’s cooldown time. Cooldown: 40/35/30s, Cost: 100
Tip: Lam is unstoppable during the dash and can pass through thick walls.

Maximizing Lam’s Potential with Team Synergy

By making good use of the stacks to reduce cooldown, you can quickly refresh skill 2’s cooldown, achieving an “infinite skill 2” effect. You can take advantage of the long-range crowd control provided by skill 3 to drag enemies into your team’s defensive turret range. Flexibly using the unlimited speed boost in the river area can significantly enhance your ability to provide support.

Timebender (Sun Bin)

Timebender Provides movement speed bonus, further enhancing Lam’s mobility, allowing Lam to swiftly destroy the enemy team.

Beast (Zhang Fei)

Beast Offers shield bonus, increasing Lam’s margin for error in fights and making it harder for Him to be instantly killed by focused fire.

Countering Lam

Zilong (Zhao Yun)

Against heroes like Zhao Yun, who possess both tankiness and burst damage, Lam not only struggles to deal damage but is also at risk of being quickly eliminated.

Diao Chen

As Lam needs to get up close to deal damage, heroes like Diao Chan can effectively avoid Lam’s attacks by using their second skill to create distance.

General Tips to Counter Lam

Crowd control skills can effectively interrupt Lan’s pursuit, making it difficult for her to get close and deal damage.
