Hold-casting any skill will put Suyou in his Immortal form, increasing the damage of Basic Attacks to 125% and granting him 20% Physical Damage Reduction. In this form, for every 20 extra Physical Attack Suyou has, he gains 1% Physical Damage Reduction (up to 40%).

BEST TEAMMATES
HOW TO PLAY SUYOU
Master the difference between Tap and Hold. Use Tap skills (quick press) for high mobility, chasing squishies, and escaping. Use Hold skills (long press) for massive AoE damage, crowd control, and damage reduction when brawling. Beware: hard CC (stuns, knock-ups) will instantly cancel your Hold skills, leaving you completely vulnerable.
HOW TO PLAY AGAINST SUYOU
- No protection from control — a stun before the engage wins the duel.
HIDDEN MECHANICS
What the in-game descriptions do not tell you: crowd-control rules and verified skill quirks. How crowd control works →
Transient Immortal- Suyou's basic attack rate in Mortal Form is ≈1.25 times his total attack speed.
- The Physical Damage Reduction and attack speed bonus are not displayed.
Blade Surge- Stun — basic-level control: interrupts only some skills, not most channels; blocked by control immunity.
- This skill cannot be interrupted.
- The dash has a range of 3.8 unit.
- After dashing, Suyou's facing direction is set to the opposite of his casting's direction. However, using Flicker will set the facing direction towards Flicker's angle, leading to a slash in different angle.
- Despite the description, the mobility from holding the ability is a dash that can go through obstacles. This dash first slightly knockbacks the first enemies hit, then stuns them.
- When Suyou is rooted while holding Blade Surge, the ability is cancelled.
- Hold Blade Surge for up to ≈0.6 seconds to tap-cast, then keep holding for ≈0.6–3 seconds to hold-cast, which has a total holding time of ≈2.4 seconds. Suyou can fully charge his hold-casting skill for up to ≈0.5 seconds to maximize range and up to ≈0.8 seconds to maximize the in-game camera zooming out.
Soul Sever- Hold Soul Sever for up to ≈0.25 seconds to tap-cast, then keep holding for ≈0.25–1 second to hold-cast, which has a total holding time of ≈0.75 seconds. Each hold-casting deals an attack for every ≈0.25 seconds.
- The hold-casting strikes have the same range as the attack range in Immortal Form.
Evil Queller- This skill cannot be interrupted.
- When being controlled, the ability keeps charging.
- Disabled by rooted. When rooted while holding Evil Queller, the ability is not canceled, but the release action is prohibited.
- Evil Queller is treated as an Ultimate with 5 upgradable level and can be learned at the level 1. Interactions of Unique Passive - Timestream, Unique Passive - Supreme Warrior and I Am You are still present on Evil Queller.
- Hold Evil Queller for up to ≈0.6 seconds to tap-cast, then keep holding for ≈0.6–3 seconds to hold-cast, which has a total holding time of ≈2.4 seconds. Suyou can fully charge his hold-casting skill for up to ≈0.75 seconds to maximize range and up to ≈0.8 seconds to maximize the in-game camera zooming out.
