Mathilda leaps in the target direction and creates a field around her, gaining a 500–1000 (+180% MP) shield and a 25% extra Movement Speed for 3 seconds. Allied heroes who come in contact with the field will receive 60% shield and Guiding Wind. The first allied hero that triggers Guiding Wind will be guided to Mathilda, and both of them will gain the same Movement Speed boost.

BEST TEAMMATES
HOW TO PLAY MATHILDA
Use your second skill to provide shields and a free dash for your allies—this is key for saving teammates. During your Ultimate, you are immune to CC and can circle an enemy to position yourself for a perfect dive or escape.
HOW TO PLAY AGAINST MATHILDA
- Do not waste crowd control during Circling Eagle — it does not land then.
HIDDEN MECHANICS
What the in-game descriptions do not tell you: crowd-control rules and verified skill quirks. How crowd control works →
Soul Bloom- Fully affect concealed, invisible and unsighted targetable enemies in range. If the number of enemies in range is less than or equal to the number of attracted wisps, each enemy will be hit once, prioritize unsighted enemy heroes.
Guiding Wind- The ability lasts 5 seconds.
- The option to be guided is disabled if the ally is rooted.
Circling Eagle- Airborne — high-level control: interrupts most skills, but not skills with control immunity; blocked by control immunity.
- Mathilda reveals the target and maintains a distance of 3.5 around her target. This state lasts up 4 seconds.
- Mathilda will immediately stops circling and dashes towards the location of the target if the target is too far away or it dies.
- In Yin's My Turn, she will circle around the center point instead but the damage and effect is still applied to Yin.
- Mathilda is not CC immune during the dash animation.
