Duality- Stun — basic-level control: interrupts only some skills, not most channels; blocked by control immunity.
Dispersion- The state of this skill starts as yang by default, this skill shifts as yang when Luo Yi dies.
Rotation- The state of this skill starts as yang by default, this skill shifts as yang when Luo Yi dies.
- The remaining duration indicator is visible to both enemies and allies.
Diversion- When its center is cast into a bush, the Teleport Circle on the battlefield and minimap is concealed from enemies. The circle also provides vision around the area.
