Yuhuan

Yuhuan is a Mage hero in Honor of Kings.

Background[]

As the most renowned musician in Changle District, can touch the hearts of the entire Chang'an City with a single strum of her. Though many of her patrons admire her talents and beauty, barely anyone knows anything about her. Even though her melodies can capture the hearts of all who listen, Yuhuan herself can't help but feel empty on the inside as she struggles to understand this "happiness" that is oft mentioned by others. As she astounds her audience with her talents, she continues to search for her own happiness. As to what form that happiness will take, perhaps she'll arrive at her own answer one day."

Lore[]

Though peonies bloomed magnificently from the city down to the river, it is said that only Yuhuan and her music can match up to this breathtaking view. Both beauty and melodies were the crown jewels of Chang'an, and the fact that no one seems to know where the mysterious Yuhuan had come from only added to her allure. Rumor had it that the first time she leaned out of her veranda to gaze at the moon and play her music, affluent young men swarmed from all over the city to try and catch a glimpse of her. It was even claimed that the number of disturbances reported in Changle District rose as a result.

One day a year, during the Shangsi Festival, crowds flocked to the river to try and see this beauty for themselves. The sound of her pipa was like flowing water, for it poured out the tunes of her heart. The beauty from the north had charmed the entire city... no, the entire kingdom. She had come to Chang'an to show her talents to the world and seek her own happiness.

The merchants coming from the west would listen to her stories. Her music tugged at their heartstrings, and they'd begin to recall the desert forts and cities of years gone by. The strange thing was, as her stirring music played, the ruins seemed to slowly reform, like a mirage at sea.

The people of Chang'an also listened to her music. But oddly, the same music painted wholly different scenes in front of their eyes: morning bells and evening drums rang all over Chang'an City, and the whole city was shining brightly, as if not of this earthly world.

The magistrate among the folk became puzzled. "Is the sound of the pipa meant to confound me?" He asked. No, there was no sign of wavering in my mind, though I could really feel from the music a most beautiful age of prosperity for Chang'an which I've dreamed of day and night.

The sound of music could be heard in the elegant courtyard not far from Changle Hall. Yixing stopped mid-game, Weiqi stone in hand. Pei looked up abruptly. The Peony Diviner remained unmoved and continued to focus on his peonies. The dancer, however, could not help but start moving lightly on her feet.

"No matter how many times I hear Yuhuan's lute, I'm always moved by it. Why doesn't my dance have the same effect?"

"Because the music makes you hear what you long for."

"People like Yuhuan's music because it makes them happy, right?" The young woman was still searching for an answer.

The Peony Diviner made no reply. Instead, he closed his eyes and listened to the music. A war from ages past started to unfold in his mind, where people fled their homes to escape the ferali. Some orphans came to the desert, where they discovered the Great Wall and felt its protection. Everyone was born with the right to live and seek happiness, even those orphaned by the flames of conflict.

They are like the solitary birds that fly alone in search of happiness.

And at that time, the Peony Diviner also thought that he'd finally found the happiness he was searching for.

High above Changle District, Yuhuan finished playing her tune. Thunderous applause sprang up from all around, from those who had enjoyed a moment of beauty and happiness thanks to the moving music.

However, a hint of confusion appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.

She could not feel it.

She couldn't feel a thing.

Happiness? Just what did that feel like? She looked down at the joyous crowd, feeling nothing but envy. She yearned to experience their happiness, just for once.

Yuhuan's basic combo is 1-2-BA-1-BA-Ult-1-BA-2. Her Skill 1 enhances Basic Attacks for a long period of time, so she can use it before entering combat to prepare an extra enhanced Basic Attack in advance.
Yuhuan could also be used as a jungler with good damage by using 1-BA after stunning the opponent with Skill 2.
A good jungling loadout is: Runeblade, Boots of Tranquility, Staves of Sorcery, Breakthrough Robe, Augur's Word and Savant's Wrath
If in late game, Savant's Wrath could we changed to Sage's Sanctuary, then changed to Tome of Wisdom after Sage's Sanctuary goes into cooldown.
