## Skills

### Celestial Armament (Shield, CC)

**Phoenix Crown**: When Zetian hits enemy heroes with **Phoenix Strike** or **Phoenix Descent**, she gains 1% Spell Vamp for 5s (up to 10 stacks).

**Celestial Robe**: The power of the Phoenix periodically protects Zetian, knocking back and stunning any enemy hero who approaches her, dealing 90 (+10*Hero Level) **(+50% Total Magic Power)** **Magic Damage**. She also gains a 300 (+20*Hero Level) **(+50% Total Magic Power)** shield for 3s. Cooldown: 120s.

### Phoenix Strike (AOE)

_CD: 5   Mana Cost: 60_

Zetian unleashes a **Phoenix Wave** in the target direction. If it hits an enemy, she automatically casts another wave (up to 3 times). Zetian can cast other skills during this time.

The waves deal 150 **(+50% Total Magic Power)**, 150 **(+50% Total Magic Power)**, and 360 **(+120% Total Magic Power)** **Magic Damage**, respectively. The 3rd wave has a larger area and pulls enemies toward the cast direction (not considered a control effect).

The Spell Vamp ratio against minions is only 65%.

### Phoenix Descent (Slow, Debuff)

_CD: 15   Mana Cost: 80_

Zetian summons a **Phoenix Spirit** at the target location, dealing 150 **(+45% Total Magic Power)** **Magic Damage** and applying a brief 50% slow effect to enemies in the area. The **Phoenix Spirit** hovers at the location for 3s, dealing 20 **(+10% Total Magic Power)** **Magic Damage** every 0.5s and reducing enemies' **<1070>** by 10% while revealing their surrounding area.
While the **Phoenix Spirit** is active, Zetian can use this skill again to command it to charge toward a designated location, dealing 150 **(+45% Total Magic Power)** **Magic Damage** and applying a brief 50% slow effect upon arrival.

### Fury of the Phoenix (CC, AOE)

_CD: 90   Mana Cost: 150_

Zetian calls upon her divine mandate and the hearts of her people, granting all allied heroes 40% Movement Speed that gradually decays over 3s, while bringing divine retribution upon all enemy heroes, dealing 400 **(+100% Total Magic Power)** **Magic Damage** and stunning them for 0.8s. Zetian gains vision of all enemy heroes during this time.
Zetian can cast other skills while channeling this skill.

## Matchups and synergies

**Works well with**: [Floryn](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/floryn.md), [Rafaela](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/rafaela.md)

While Zetian already has decent survivability, when paired with supports who can protect allies like Floryn and Rafaela, Fighters with limited range will struggle even more to approach Zetian. And with the healing from these supports, Zetian can win any ranged battle of attrition.

**Strong against**: [Balmond](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/balmond.md), [Zilong](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/zilong.md)

Zetian's Passive counters melee heroes with limited gap closers like Balmond and Zilong, allowing her to continue poking the enemy from a safe distance.

**Weak against**: [Valentina](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/valentina.md)

Zetian's Ultimate can strike down anywhere on the map, but having such a powerful Ult means a hero like Valentina can also use it against Zetian's team.
