Kongming has a small combat radius, making him vulnerable to harassment and damage. Therefore, the Book of Devouring's healing ability is a crucial attribute for Kongming. In the early to mid-game, it helps him maintain pressure on the enemy in lane.

Skills summary

Passive Skill

Moment of Strategy

• Cooldown: 0
• Cost: 0
• Passive: When Kongming's spells hit an enemy, he gains a Strategy Mark. When he accumulates 5 marks, he summons 5 magic orbs that orbit around him. After a brief moment, these orbs fly out to attack nearby enemies, dealing 270 (+52% Spell Power) magic damage. If multiple orbs hit the same target within 1 second, subsequent orbs deal only 20% damage. Orbs prioritize enemy heroes and do not attack non-combat jungle monsters.

Active Skill 1

East Wind Assault

• Cooldown: 8/7.4/6.8/6.2/5.6/5
• Cost: 60
• Kongming fires three magic orbs in a specified direction, dealing 500/600/700/800/900/1000 (+70% Spell Power) magic damage to enemies in their path. If multiple orbs hit the same target, subsequent orbs deal only 20% damage. Each orb can trigger one Strategy Mark.

Active Skill 2

Chrono Shift

• Cooldown: 1.5
• Cost: 50
• Kongming quickly blinks in a specified direction, creating a mana field at both the starting and ending points, dealing 350/420/490/560/630/700 (+52% Spell Power) magic damage to enemies within the area. If a target is hit by multiple fields within 5 seconds, their movement speed is reduced by 90% for 3 seconds, with the effect diminishing over time. If a target is hit by multiple fields simultaneously, they take only 50% damage. Each field that affects an enemy triggers one Strategy Mark. Chrono Shift can be prepared every 10 seconds, with a maximum of 3 charges.

Active Skill 3

Energy Blast

• Cooldown: 35/30/25
• Cost: 120
• After a brief charge, Kongming locks onto a target and fires a powerful energy blast, dealing 450/630/810 (+55% Spell Power) magic damage upon impact. For every 1% of the target's max health lost, the blast's damage increases by 2%. Kongming can move and use Chrono Shift while charging. Hitting an enemy with the blast triggers one Strategy Mark. If the blast directly defeats an enemy hero, it immediately activates Moment of Strategy and reduces the cooldown of Energy Blast by 80%. If the targeted hero dies before the blast explodes, 80% of the skill's cooldown is refunded.
