Bai Qi Skills

 

 

Passive – Reaper’s Revenge

 

Bai Qi accumulates Shadow Power whenever he attacks or takes damage. When fully charged, he gets a burst of movement speed and greatly increases his healing. This makes Bai Qi a formidable opponent in long fights where he can cling to targets, reposition, and heal during combat.

 

Skill 1 – Blood Echo

 

Bai Qi slashes in a curve with his scythe, dealing damage to surrounding enemies while healing himself. This ability can be fully charged by holding the ability, the longer he charges this, the stronger both the damage and healing are.

 

Additionally, whenever Bai Qi is hit, there is a chance this skill will automatically trigger, providing free sustain and damage. This ability shines well in long fights. To use this skill effectively in fights, charge it fully before engaging when possible, allowing you to gain the maximum value. However, during trades when the time is usually short, don’t be afraid to use the skill immediately especially when surrounded by enemies.

 

Skill 2 – Deathscythe

 

Bai Qi summons ghostly scythes that sweep and then withdraw, pulling the enemies toward him. Pulled enemies are slowed and received substantial amount of magic damage. This skill hits harder on enemies that are low on health, turning it into a great finishing tool to finish retreating enemies. This skill can also be used to outplay out-of-position enemies, peel for your allies, or chain into his ultimate for deadly crowd control.

 

Ultimate – Lay Waste

 

Bai Qi jumps to a target location, slamming down with an explosive impact and taunting all foes in the area of impact. The duration of the taunt scales with how durable Bai Qi is, allowing to control the enemies the more durable he is.

Gameplay Tips

 

Early Game:

 

In the early game, Bai Qi excels in short trades thanks to his self-healing skill but he lacks in wave clear. Use Skill 1 to poke the enemies and live through trades, as your passive healing gets through them. Save Skill 2 for opportunities, use it to pull the out-of-position enemies toward your tower or start ganks from your jungler.

 

Mid Game:

 

In the mid game, Bai Qi is an exceptional tank/bruiser in skirmishes. Use Ultimate to start fights, jumping in to harass/zone the enemy while taunting them, while Skill 2 to pull in additional enemies into your team. A well-timed combo allows your crowd control and healing to be maxed out, allowing you to tank damage and protect your carries.

 

Late Game:

 

In the late game, Bai Qi’s crowd control and durability are ideal. Zone out the enemy with Ultimate and taunt high-priority targets such as marksman or mages. During teamfights, you last longer due to your burst heal and mobility, whereas your carries take longer to reach the fight. It is important for you to anchor the front line and pin down high-priority targets so your carries can finish them off.

 

Teamfight Combo:Skill 3 -> Skill 2 -> Skill 1 -> Basic Attack
