In high-tier Ranked games and professional matches, Junglers have the biggest impact on early-to-mid game tempo, while Exp Lane heroes rarely have standout performances. Sometimes, Exp Lane heroes even have to purchase defensive equipment to take on the role of damage soaking and give up their resources to other teammates. We aim to give Exp Lane fighters more opportunities to dominate in the mid game, while slightly reducing Junglers' early-game tempo and balancing creep-clearing speeds among different Jungler heroes to prevent excessive disparities. Additionally, we find that the Healing Reduction effect from equipment is currently too strong, creating a big difference in how well healing-dependent heroes perform, based heavily on whether enemies purchase equipment with this effect. Therefore, we are reducing the Healing Reduction effect, while also adjusting heroes, equipment, and skills with overly high healing to maintain balance. Finally, we've enhanced the Resilience attribute to reduce the duration of Airborne control effects. However, we've also decreased the Resilience provided by certain equipment. Due to Airborne now being affected by the new Resilience effect, we will make adjustments to heroes whose combo relies on Airborne to minimize the impact, while providing other compensatory buffs to heroes whose core feature is Airborne but doesn't affect their combo. Good luck ranking up in the new season!

A Celestial Empress cherished by her people, descending to bring peace to the mortal realm.

Zetian gains additional Spell Vamp after her skills hit enemy heroes. Her Phoenix Spirit also periodically protects her, knocking back and stunning nearby enemies while granting Zetian a Shield.

Zetian unleashes Phoenix Waves in the target direction up to 3 times. The third Phoenix Wave has a larger area and pulls enemies slightly in its direction.

Zetian summons a Phoenix Spirit at the target location, dealing Magic Damage, slowing enemies, and reducing their Magic Defense. The Phoenix Spirit can be moved to another location.

Zetian grants Movement Speed to allied heroes while dealing Magic Damage and stunning enemy heroes globally. She can also see the positions of enemy heroes during the Ultimate.
