Kwang

Kwang is a durable fighter that excels at initiating fights. A master swordsman, Kwang can utilize his Legendary Blade to change how and where he uses his abilities.

"Judgement of the Heavens" will have Kwang throw his sword to target a location. If the sword lands on an enemy Hero they will be tethered to the sword for a short time. If Kwang isn't holding his blade, he cannot attack. "Gift of the Heavens" is an aura around the sword that grants Kwang and nearby allies lifesteal on basic attacks and abilities. "Light of the Heavens" will call lightning down to the blade dealing damage in an area and granting Kwang bonus Physical & Energy armor for a short time. If Kwang uses "Judgement of the Heavens", lightning will strike the sword. And finally Kwang's Ultimate is "Fury of the Heavens". Kwang will windup and deal damage in an area around him, slowing enemies. However, if his sword is out, Kwang will teleport to his blade, wherever it is in the world, then deal damage.

When playing Kwang, utilize your legendary blade to approach engagements on your own terms. Use "Judgement of the Heavens" to isolate and lock targets in place, this is especially useful when combo'd with allied AoE abilties and ultimates. If you need to get back into the fight use "Fury of the Heavens" to teleport back to your sword and catch enemies off guard.
