Pei Skills and Abilities

Blast (Passive): In human form, basic attack range is increased, and basic attacks deal an additional 16 magic damage. Continuous basic attacks on the same target within 3 seconds can stack this damage up to 3 times its base value. Basic attack hits restore 5 energy points.
Cooldown: 0s Cost: 0
Tips: Pei Qin Hu’s attacks in human form recover energy faster, preparing for a burst in tiger form. In tiger form, he has higher base attributes and stronger combat mechanics but slower energy recovery, which needs to be complemented by the features of the human form.

Striker Stance (Skill 01): Releases Qi energy dealing 250/300/350/400/450/500 (+115% bonus physical damage) magic damage to enemies in its path and an additional 8% of the target’s current health as magic damage, reducing their movement speed by 50% for 1.5 seconds. Hitting enemy units with this skill restores 20 energy points.
Cooldown: 8/7.6/7.2/6.8/6.4/6s Cost: 40
Tips: This skill offers both poke and control effects and has a long attack range, allowing Pei Qin Hu to harass enemies from afar. Its relatively short cooldown enables strong finishing capabilities.

Guarding Stance (Skill 02): Creates a Qi aura around himself, dealing 100/150/200/250/300/350 (+70% bonus physical damage) magic damage to nearby enemies, forming a shield of 400 (+150% bonus physical attack) points and increasing his attack speed by 30/34/38/42/46/50% for 5 seconds. While the shield is active, it deals 20/30/40/50/60/70 (+14% bonus physical attack) magic damage every 0.5 seconds to nearby enemies. Cooldown: 8s Cost: 50 Tips: The Qi shield remains even when switching forms, allowing Pei Qin Hu to utilize complex terrain for extra damage or to evade enemies flexibly.

Tiger Form (Ultimate): Switches to tiger form, increasing movement speed by 30% for 1 second and enhancing the next two basic attacks for seven seconds. The first strike pounces on the target dealing 20/110/200/290 (+100% physical attack) physical damage and a 90% slow for 1 second. Using the second strike within 5 seconds deals 20/110/200/290 (+100% physical attack) magic damage to enemies in front.
Cooldown: 6.4/5.6/4.8/4s Cost: 0
Tips: A core skill for Pei Qin Hu, offering dual forms and two sets of distinct skills from level 1. Choose the appropriate form based on the current battle situation.

Pei Best Partners

Pei Counter

• Sun Bin’s ultimate can counteract and disrupt Pei Qin Hu’s burst rhythm, relying mainly on tiger form for engagement.
• Be aware that his jungle clearing speed may be faster than expected, changing the rhythm of lane attacks and jungle invasions; When facing Pei Qin Hu, maintain distance from terrain to avoid his extra burst.

Battle Tips
