Official Skills tab
Tap-casting any skill will put Suyou in his Mortal form, granting him 40 Movement Speed and decreasing the interval between Basic Attacks.
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%).
Gameplay guide
Suyou is a stance fighter whose tapped skills enter fast Mortal form and whose held skills enter durable Immortal form. Every skill has two versions, so mastery comes from choosing mobility and attack tempo or enhanced basics and Physical Damage Reduction for each moment.
Use the appropriate Soul Sever version to clear: tap for a low-health finish or hold for three hits and healing. Rotate with Mortal form's 40 Movement Speed, but enter contested areas through an Immortal cast when damage reduction matters.
Held Blade Surge can start on a carry, held Soul Sever sustains an extended fight, and tap Evil Queller creates backward space. Mix forms instead of copying one sequence when enemy control or positioning changes.
Poke with fully held Evil Queller, wait for a clean stun angle, and remain Immortal while absorbing return damage. Use tap Soul Sever only when its lost-HP execute will finish, because it also drops the defensive stance.
Choose tap or hold from the target's health and enemy control before casting; the alternate version becomes unavailable once the skill starts.
Use tap casts for Mortal mobility and quick finishing, or hold casts for Immortal durability when Suyou must remain exposed.
After a held S3, held S1, and the appropriate S2, use the final S3 tap to leave only when late-game cooldowns make that recast available.
Open with the long-range arrow, charge in to stun, and hold Soul Sever for its three cleaves and healing. Tap Evil Queller afterward to glide back and slow pursuit; this final escape is only available late game when Evil Queller's cooldown becomes short enough to use it again.
Blink onto a low-HP target, use Soul Sever's lost-HP damage to finish them, then tap Evil Queller to retreat while slowing pursuit.
