Hanabi's Basic Attacks and skills will launch Petal Blades after hitting a target, dealing 30% damage, and bouncing up to 4 times to nearby enemies. Bounces from her Basic Attacks inherit her Attack Effects.
Gameplay guide
Hanabi is a low-mobility gold-lane marksman whose attacks and skills send four reduced-damage Petal Blades between nearby units. Any active shield grants her Control Immunity, while Soul Scroll marks targets so her next basic-attack bounce hits them without its usual damage decay.
Farm from safe range and exploit Petal Barrage when the opponent stands near minions. Aim Soul Scroll through the wave or directly at the hero to slow and mark, but save Equinox when enemy control or a gank is the real threat.
Clear before rotating and enter fights behind the tank. Activate Equinox or an external shield before control arrives, then keep dealing hero damage to reinforce it up to the 50%-maximum-HP cap.
Use enemy grouping against them while maintaining maximum practical range. Aim Higanbana at a hero in a cluster, follow with Soul Scroll, and attack the safest target so ricochets pressure the back line without Hanabi stepping forward.
Step away when Equinox breaks; continuing to attack without its control protection invites an immediate engage.
Attack a nearby minion when the petal bounce can reach a hero beyond Hanabi's direct range, especially during a crowded wave.
Enter a fight with Equinox intact and step back when it breaks; its control immunity is the signal that Hanabi can safely keep firing.
Pre-shield for Control Immunity, immobilize the first hero and damage the surrounding area when Higanbana blooms, then mark targets for stronger ricochets.
RetreatThe marked hero receives the next basic-attack bounce without damage decay, allowing pressure without walking into direct attack range.
