2.Ping Pong Prodigy Skin Introduction
In the skin's animation, we see Luban No. 7 and Master Luban playing table tennis. Master Luban mechanical arm swings the paddle fiercely towards Luban No. 7, but the tiny Luban No. 7 stands on the table and catches the ball, resembling a table tennis warrior.
Skill Effects
Basic Attack: Numbers appear above Luban No. 7's head, with the fourth basic attack displaying a cute expression.
Passive: Luban No. 7 fires a volley of table tennis balls.
First Skill: Luban hurls a giant table tennis ball at the enemy, creating a circular table tennis table on the ground.
Second Skill: Luban No. 7 launches a missile, creating a yellow aura on the ground with many yellow table tennis balls inside.
Third Skill: The third skill is labeled "PINGPANG" and features a pair of table tennis paddles.
This skin has a decent overall feel, with a theme that is very interesting and sports-related. In the animation, Master Luban and Luban No. 7 are very much like a father and son playing table tennis together, which is very heartwarming. Despite facing intense attacks, the small Luban No. 7 shows no fear but instead confronts them actively, showcasing a resilient heart beneath its cute exterior.
Most importantly, this is an epic-quality skin. Originally priced at 888 Tokens, after completing the event, it can be obtained for just 428 Tokens, essentially a 50% discount. It's a very cost-effective purchase.
3.Hero Skills Description
(1)Passive Skill: Suppressive Fire
Damage,Passive
Description:After using 4 Basic Attacks or a skill, Luban No.7's next Basic Attack is enhanced to a scattershot that deals damage 3 times in a straight line ahead. Each shot deals physical damage equal to 60 (+4.5% of the target's max Health, increases by 1% for every 100 extra Physical Attack) to enemy heroes, or 120 (+50% Physical Attack) physical damage to non-hero enemy units.
Note: This passive skill is a crucial method for Luban No. 7 to deal damage. At level 1, you can pre-store 4 basic attacks, so that when the minion waves meet, the first basic attack you unleash is the enhanced strafe shot. When practicing with Luban No. 7, you can practice basic attacking into thin air, consciously developing the habit of storing basic attacks. This aspect is quite similar to how Di Renjie operates.
(2)Skill 1: Blowfish Grenade
Damage,Slow,Vision
CD: 7s
Mana Cost (50)
Description: Luban No.7 hurls a blowfish grenade at the target location, dealing 450 (+75% Physical Attack) physical damage to enemies within range and reducing their Movement Speed by 25% for 2s. He also gains vision of targets hit by the grenade.
Note: After casting the first skill, Luban No. 7's next basic attack will be an enhanced basic attack, similar to the passive strafe shot. Therefore, in actual combat, players can store 4 basic attacks first, unleash an enhanced basic attack, then follow up with a skill and another enhanced basic attack, resulting in very high damage output. As a marksman, vigilance is crucial. Avoid walking into unwarded bushes, so when there are no teammates scouting the bushes, you can use the first skill to gain vision inside the bush to prevent enemy ambushes. It's best for everyone to learn the first skill at level 1 to clear minion waves more quickly.
(3)Skill 2: Shark Cannon
Damage
CD: 15s
Mana Cost (70)
Description: Luban No.7 launches a rocket in the target direction. The rocket knocks back enemies directly in front of him and explodes upon hitting the first enemy hero.
The explosion deals 400 (+70% Physical Attack) physical damage and magical damage equal to 5% of the target's lost Health to enemies within range.
Note: Luban No. 7's second skill releases a rocket projectile, which is quite interesting. This skill allows you to launch a rocket that can cover the entire map. When the rocket hits an enemy, it inflicts damage, so when enemy health is low, Luban No. 7 can use this skill from afar to eliminate enemies with the cannonball. Many players have been taken out by Luban No. 7's cannonball, so when facing him, players often target him. Therefore, it's important to emphasize once again: when playing as Luban No. 7, you need to be extremely vigilant, avoid walking into bushes without vision, refrain from easily traversing the river, and pay attention to your positioning in team fights. This skill can also provide vision. You can shoot the rocket towards a bush or into the enemy jungle to prevent ambushes or being taken out by assassins. When facing enemy assassins or warriors up close, you can use this skill to push them back, then use Flash to create distance between you and the enemy.
(4)Skill 3: Air Support
Damage,Slow,Vision
CD: 35s
Mana Cost (100)
Description:Luban No.7 summons a blowfish airship in the target direction for 14s, which drops bombs on a random enemy within range. The bombs explode where they landed after a short delay, dealing 500 (+75% Physical Attack) physical damage to nearby enemies and reducing their Movement Speed by 30% for 1s.
The airship grants him the vision of the area it is bombarding.
Note: This skill can also provide vision and deal damage. It can be quickly paired with the first skill to clear minions and is very useful in team fights. It can be observed that all three of Luban No. 7's skills can provide vision. Therefore, although Luban No. 7 lacks mobility and is susceptible to being caught and killed by the enemy, with a high level of vigilance, he can output extremely high damage.
The typical representatives of stationary marksmen are Luban No. 7, Hou Yi, and Garo. Currently, Luban No. 7 and Hou Yi remain relatively strong, while Garo's strength has decreased due to adjustments in the game version. Both Luban No. 7 and Hou Yi primarily rely on basic attacks and enhanced basic attacks for output. Luban No. 7 can launch cannonballs with a relatively short cooldown but lacks crowd control. Hou Yi's third skill can release a bird that can hard control enemies, assist teammates remotely in crowd control, and provide survivability when enemies get too close, but it has a longer cooldown, making it less recommended for players who have difficulty aiming accurately.
