## Skills

### Cloud Walker (Buff)

Ling's superb Lightness Skill allows him to leap among walls. He gains 4 extra Lightness Points per second when he's on a wall and 5 extra Lightness Points each time he deals damage.

Ling gains 1.6 times Crit Chance from all sources but only has 140% Crit Damage.

### Finch Poise (Mobility, Buff)

**Passive**: Ling's Crit Chance is increased by 2.5%.
**Active**: Ling leaps onto the designated wall and enters the **Half-Stealth** state, restoring Lightness Points faster and gaining 30% Movement Speed. Taking damage causes him to leave **Half-Stealth**. Being controlled makes him fall to the ground and slows him by 30% for 2s. When he uses this skill to jump from one wall to another, it does not trigger cooldown and refreshes **Half-Stealth**.

### Defiant Sword (Damage, Mobility)

_CD: 2.5   Energy Cost: 35_

Ling charges in the target direction and stabs nearby enemies, dealing them 300 **(+50% Total Physical Attack)** **Physical Damage**.
If Ling casts this skill when he's on the wall (no energy cost), he'll dash to the target location on the ground, dealing 300 **(+50% Total Physical Attack)** **Physical Damage** to enemies in the area and slowing them by 30% for 1.5s. 
**Defiant Sword** is regarded as Basic Attack.

### Tempest of Blades (Burst, CC)

_CD: 52_

Ling leaps into the air, becoming invincible and gaining 10% extra Movement Speed for 1.5s. He ignores obstacles when in the air. He then lands on the ground, dealing 250 **(+100% Total Physical Attack)** **Physical Damage** to enemies in the area and slowing them by 40% for 1.5s, knocking those in the center airborne for 1s, and creating a Sword Field for 8s.

Four **Tempest of Blades** will also appear on the edge of the Sword Field. Ling can touch them to reduce the cooldown of **Finch Poise** by 4s, reset the cooldown of **Defiant Sword**, and gain 25 Lightness Points.
