Abilities
Angela’s fiery kit revolves around stacking passive damage amps via skills, then bursting with CC.
| Ability | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Passive: Flame Incantation | Speed/Damage Amp | Skills hitting enemies boost your Movement Speed. Affected foes take increased damage from your next skills (stacks for burst). |
| Skill 1: Scorching Barrage | Magic Damage (AoE) | Unleash fireballs in target area for multi-hit magic damage. Great for poke/farm. Max first for clear. |
| Skill 2: Chaos Cinder | Magic Damage + CC | Hurl fireball: explodes on hit/max range into firestorm (slows/damages AoE). Direct hit stuns target. Core CC tool. |
| Ultimate: Blazing Brilliance | Magic DoT + Shield | Channel directional beam for continuous magic damage. Gain shield + CC immunity (lasts while channeling). Use for engage, chase, or survive dives. |
Core Combo: 2 (stun/slow) → 1 (burst) → Ult (sustained damage + protect). Level order: 2 > 1 > Ult > 1.

Playstyle by Phase
- Early (0-5 min): Farm mid safely with 1+2. Take blue buff. Poke with 1, stun ganks with 2. Rotate for Tyrant.
- Mid (5-12 min): Clear waves fast, gank sidelanes (ult shield lets you dive). Group for Overlord.
- Late: Backline in fights—2 for peel, 1+ult for AoE delete. Ult beam shreds grouped enemies.
- Positioning: Stay behind tanks. Use passive stacks for roams. Minimap for dives.
Tips & Counters
- Strengths: Easy combos, self-peel, scales well. Pairs with divers (Arthur) or poke (Hou Yi).
- Weaknesses: Squishy pre-items, predictable ult channel.
- Beginner Tips: Practice 2 aim (predict paths). Ult during CC chains. Farm > kills early. Ping roams.
- Counters: Assassins (Han Xin, Daji—dive you fast). Buy magic resist (Succubus Cloak). Ban if vs burst mids.
- Bans: Pick vs tanky teams; avoid heavy assassins.
