Ying

Ying ▶️ is a Support Champion in Paladins, added on April 7th, 2016.

Lore

This is Ying's official bio currently found in her champion page in-game.


A talented young spellcaster, Ying is a master of illusions and trickery, able to befuddle her opponents with bewildering misdirection. That same magic can also soothe the minds of her allies to ease their suffering and mend their wounds.

She was forced to use these skills to escape the hunt of a criminal king who wanted her power over illusions, one who she hopes to bring to justice as she adventures across the Realm. When the Magistrate began its campaign of conquest, subjugating the Realm in an attempt to restrict the use of magic by the common folk, she felt it was her responsibility to join the fight against their oppression and protect others like herself.

Turns out, her justice would find its way back to her.

This is an unofficial version of Ying's bio intended to more clearly present all currently known information regarding her. Sources can be found here.


A master of illusions and trickery, Ying put her abilities to good use to escape the imprisonment of a bandit king. She later became an adventurer, and when the Crystal War broke out, Ying felt it was her responsibility to join the Resistance.

Following House Aico gaining leadership of the Magistrate, Ying joined Zhin's New Resistance.

According to Atlas, in the Lost Future, Ying would end up dying at some point.

This was Ying's in-game bio prior to the The Damned Frontier update. It's no longer considered canon.


A talented young spellcaster, Ying is a master of illusions and trickery, able to befuddle her opponents with bewildering misdirection. That same magic can also soothe the minds of her allies to ease their suffering and mend their wounds. She made good use of those skills to escape imprisonment by a bandit king and during her days as an adventurer afterward.

When the Magistrate began its campaign of conquest, subjugating the Realm in an attempt to restrict the use of magic by the common folk, she felt it was her responsibility to join the fight against the tyranny.

Summary

Ying is a support champion with serviceable damage and a remarkable spread of healing. While generally capable of outputting solid healing as well as damage, she relies on her ultimate to make an impact, and her Illusions lack the healing to keep teams up through more intense fights, with her movement ability limited to pre-placed Illusions, giving her a hard time to keep up without specific cards and talents.

Skills

Ying's primary weapon is her Illusory Mirror, which fires accurate and rapid beams of energy, outputting respectable damage in a short time.
Shatter, her secondary fire, causes her Illusions to seek out enemies and explode after a short fuse, acting as burst damage.
Her primary ability, Illusion, summons a replica of herself that heals allies, focusing on the ally with the lowest health. These Illusions have all the same physical traits as the real Ying minus her abilities and health.
Dimensional Link is her movement ability, which teleports her and swaps places with an Illusion she is aiming at, the farthest one if not aiming at a specific one, or to the location of the last active Illusion if none are present, allowing her to quickly reposition herself.
Ying's Ultimate ability, Illusory Rift, clears all negative effects, provides momentary Crowd Control Immunity, and gives a strong map-wide healing, all for herself and her allies, while also allowing her movement skill Dimensional Link to teleport her to an ally.
Though not mentioned, Ying has a passive float which reduces the speed at which she falls and makes her have slightly slippery movement.

Talents and Cards

Ying's talents provide her with the following:

  • Give additional damage to Ying's Illusory Mirror if all 5 shots of a burst are successful, with Focusing Lens.
  • In exchange for losing the ability to shatter her Illusions, and an increased cooldown, Ying's Shatter is transformed to a healing beam with a cooldown reduction of 2 seconds if she misses, with Life Exchange.
  • Ying's Illusions now explode with increased damage if destroyed, and have increased movement speed and explosion radius, with Resonance.

Most of Ying's cards focus on reducing cooldowns, increasing longevity, and ability interactions with Illusions.

Trivia


Lore

  • Though it's a popular theory that Zhin is the "bandit king" that imprisoned Ying, and that she was rescued by Sha Lin, it is only that, a theory, and isn't canon unless officially confirmed. When a developer was asked about it, they only gave a vague answer that didn't hint one way or the other.[1]
  • Ying is not limited to only creating illusions of herself, as shown in the tutorial where she creates illusions of Androxus.
  • Though Ying's bio describes the Magistrate in a villainous light, the description is merely Ying's own personal opinion on them.[2]
  • Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall and comparing it to model sizes in-game and out of game, it was discovered that Ying would be around 4'9 or 149cm tall.


Cameos

Ying appears in the following content:


Concepts

  • Ying had several icon concepts prior to the final choice being settled on.[4]
  • Concept art shows Ying's mirror originally had a different design.[5]
  • Various pirate-themed skin concepts were created, but never materialized in-game; among them, is the Pirate Ying skin.[6]
  • There are a number of additional skin concepts for Ying that ultimately went unused; these include various types of skins, such as an astronaut and faerie skin to name a few.[7]
  • Another unused skin concept is the Hotline skin, which is somewhat reminiscent of Ying's Street Style skin.[8]
  • A concept for a type of skin that "leveled up" over time, progressing from a relatively simple design to a more complex skin was thrown around, with a concept design intended for Ying being created to demonstrate the idea. While the "level up" aspect was deemed "too costly", this specific skin design could be brought back as a regular skin someday.[11]
