Hero Skill !

Burst Fireball

Burst Fireball

Valir launches a fireball that explodes upon hitting the first target, dealing 235( +80% Total Magic Power) (Magic Damage) and slowing them by 30% for 1s. The lingering flame on the ground will explode after 1s, dealing 118( +40% Total Magic Power) (Magic Damage). Valir recharges 1 fireball every 9s and can hold up to 2 fireball charges. Hitting an enemy hero or Legend Creep with this skill will immediately restore a fireball charge, while hitting a Minion will restore 50% of the recharge time. Once enhanced by (Vengeance Flame), the cast range of (Burst Fireball) increases by 30%.

The very short animation before casting means that this skill can hit its target almost 100% of the time. Combined with Arcane Flame, this skill is great for melting down the enemy's HP in the early stages of a game.

Searing Torrent

Searing Torrent

Valir unleashes a torrent of flames in the target direction, dealing 200( +60% Total Magic Power) (Magic Damage) to enemies hit and knocking them to the end of its path. (Vengeance Flame): The torrent forms a firewall at the end of its path that lasts 4s and deals 80( +24% Total Magic Power) (Magic Damage) to nearby enemies per second. Enemies hit by the torrent or the firewall are slowed by 25% for 1s.

With a large damage range and knock-back effect, this skill can easily interrupt the vast majority of hero skill casts in the game. If you can judge your cast to hit targets with the end of your torrent, you can rack up very high damage.

Vengeance Flame

Vengeance Flame

Valir removes all debuffs on himself and conjures 4 (Vengeance Flames) that last 9s. Each of his subsequent skills consumes 1 (Vengeance Flame) to deal 30% extra base damage. The effects of both (Burst Fireball) and (Searing Torrent) can be enhanced. Meanwhile, Valir gains 40% extra Movement Speed that decays over 3s.

The extremely large damage range makes this an invaluable skill in team fights. When used with Burst Fire and Arcane Flame's double slowing effects, Hellfire stands a higher chance of hitting targets and dealing maximum damage.

Ashing

Ashing

Valir's skills apply a stack of Ablaze to enemies hit, dealing them (Magic Damage) equal to 0.6% of their Max HP per second for 4s. At 3 stacks, the fire detonates, dealing (Magic Damage) equal to 6% of the target's Max HP to the enemy and stunning them for 1s (the same target can only be stunned by Valir's skills once every 7s.)

This is Valir's core skill. When your passive is cooling down, try using Burst Fire to chase down enemies with your teammates. If you'd rather play it safe, you can also try using Searing Torrent continuously to interrupt enemy skills.

Main Mage - Team Fight Damage Dealer
Grab a Lightning Truncheon to ensure Valir's burst damage and use Arcane Boots to add some magic penetration. In the mid game, buy a Glowing Wand and Holy Crystal to enhance damage output once more, and then grab a Concentrated Energy for health and vampirism to improve his survivability and sustainability. Finally, according to the enemy team's chosen equipment, select Blood Wings or Devil Tears. The gear set will result in Valir being more dangerous, as long as you are aware of enemy positions at all times, and pay attention to your own positioning.

# Counters

Item Counters !

Aurora BEST TEAMMATES

With Aurora using Coldness Destroy to freeze enemies, Valir can maximize his damage output.

Pharsa Counters

Valir's Searing Torrent can completely restrain Pharsa's Feathered Air Strike, preventing her from maintaining sustained damage.

Karina Countered by

Because Valir lacks life-saving skills, it's hard for him to handle assassins with multi-stage dash skills.
