Mulan Build

Initial Build

Warrior's Blessing

Chalice of Healing

Multi Potion

Teleport Fragment

First Back

Notes Always go Warrior Tabi, Mulan has an excellent early game for establishing pressure, and more power helps you abuse it. If you are constantly brawling, get two more multi-potions, but wards are almost always better here.

Warrior Tabi

Multi Potion

Full Build example (vs. Physical)

Notes Sell boots for an all-around defense item, such as Mantle, Spirits Robe, or Gauntlet of Thebes.

Warrior Tabi

Breastplate of Valor

The Sledge

Oni Hunter's Garb

Gladiator's Shield

Brawler's Beat Stick

Mantle of Discord

Full Build example (vs. Magical)

Notes If you are more on the offensive, I would suggest Runic Shield, but if you are against a Guardian and not fighting as much, may prove to be a better option.

Warrior Tabi

Runic Shield

The Sledge

Void Shield

Oni Hunter's Garb

Gladiator's Shield

Brawler's Beat Stick

Anti-heal

Notes All of Mulan's abilities deal damage, and are excellent for applying Brawler's anti-heal passive, so I believe it is the superior option.

Introduction

Hello everyone, my name is Soul, and welcome to my guide for . Mulan excels at establishing lane pressure in the beginning levels with her high base damage and self-sustain. However, she can suffer from falling off late-game and her protections are on the lower end of the Warrior class.

Abilities & Leveling

Training Arc (Passive)

Mulan utilizes a Sword, Spear and Bow with her abilities and can gain Skill towards them by damaging enemy gods. Her expertise in each weapon provides different bonuses. Mulan also gains a buff every 10 seconds that reduces the cooldown of the next non-ultimate ability used by 2 seconds.

Sword Skill: 600, 2400, 6000 damage done
Spear Skill: 600, 2400, 6000 damage done
Bow Skill: 200, 500, 1200 damage done
Skill gain for Minions: 20%
.

Mulan's passive is the most essential part of her kit to understand, as leveling up her skills and abilities will grant you access to added bonuses. While it can seem overwhelming at first, there are several tools at your disposal to help you. There is no numerical indicator that informs you what damage amount progress you've made on a skill, but there are two things you can use. The first is the passive meter above her god icon (with default HUD settings), it has images of a sword, spear, and bow that all have meters in them. The closer the meter is to the top, the closer you are to leveling it up. The second is the ability icon for the skill you are mastering. There are four different colors representing each level of the ability, and they change color based off of your progress. The first and initial color is a royal blue, then when it turns Skilled, it becomes a lighter blue. Next is Adept, which is orange, then last is Mastered, which is in between a bright orange and yellow. The passive can be stacked off of jungle camps, minions, and gods. Please note that minions only give you 20% of the damage dealt.
.

Cross Strike

Mulan swings her sword with precision, striking twice and dealing damage to all enemies hit.

Skilled – Mulan gains an Attack Speed increase after using this ability.
Adept – Mulan strikes a third time in a large cone in front of her.
Mastered – Mulan gains 5% Attack Speed.

Damage per Hit: 75/95/115/135/155 (+30% of your physical power)
Attack Speed: 25%
Duration: 4s
Ability Type: Area
Radius: 25
Cooldown: 16/15/14/13/12 seconds
Cost: 60/65/70/75/80 mana

This will be your main form of wave clear, but personally I advise against getting this ability at Level 1 in solo. However, if you are jungling, I would suggest getting this as your clear, and putting your points into it whenever possible. Becoming Adept with this ability grants access to the third strike, which increases your damage significantly. The attack speed boosts are also a small but helpful tool when clearing minion waves and jungle camps.
.

Spear Thrust

Mulan brings forth her spear striking in front of her, dealing damage and slowing all enemies hit.

Skilled – Mulan heals for up to 3 enemies hit.
Adept – Mulan strikes a second time further in front of her, dealing bonus damage if she hits the same enemy.
Mastered – Mulan gains 5% Power.

Damage per Hit: 120/155/190/225/260 (+35% of your physical power)
Slow: 30%
Duration: 2s
Heal: 15/30/45/60/75 (+10% of your physical power)
Bonus Damage: 20/35/50/65/80 (+15% of your physical power)
Ability Type: Line
Range: 25
Cooldown: 14 seconds
Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 mana

I would personally get this ability at Level 1 in solo, as well as max this ability first. It's more of a personal preference, but I think that having an early start to unlock the heal from this ability gives you so much more fighting potential in the laning phase. In Jungle however, I would suggest getting the 1 first because it does have a bit higher damage.
.

Grapple

Mulan readies herself and fires an arrow with a rope attached to it. If she hits an enemy god she stuns them, dealing damage and pulling them towards her while dashing and hitting them again for extra damage.

Skilled – Mulan gains a Protection buff after hitting an enemy god.
Adept – Mulan is able to dash to walls.
Mastered – Mulan gains 5% Movement Speed.

Arrow Damage: 90/135/180/225/270 (+50% of your physical power)
Stun Duration: 0.8s
Bonus Damage: 40/50/60/70/80 (+20% of your physical power)
Protection Increase: 20/25/30/35/40
Duration: 4s
Ability Type: Projectile, Dash
Range: 60
Cooldown: 16 seconds
Cost: 60 mana

Grapple should be leveled last, and only has one use in the laning phase, for bonus damage and as an interrupt tool to cancel out channeled abilities. This ability is a bit harder to hit than as it has a tad of delay after casting, and it's something you get used to after playing. Much like Sobek's pluck, you can use this ability to give yourself CC immunity when grappling an enemy or towards a wall. While does grant CC immunity, it counts as a dash, so you can't use it while crippled.
.

Divine Mastery

Mulan brings forth her entire arsenal dashing forwards with sword slashes, dealing damage and rooting enemies for 1s.
If she hits an enemy god during the dash, Mulan uses her new divine energy to knock up enemies with her spear before firing a large projectile attack with her bow.

Dealing damage with any part of this ability gains Skill towards the weapon used.

Sword Damage: 80/140/200/260/320 (+60% of your physical power)
Spear Damage: 100/140/180/220/260 (+40% of your physical power)
Arrow Damage: 150/200/250/300/350 (+60% of your physical power)
Ability Type: Dash, Line, Projectile
Range: 65, 65, 85
Cooldown: 100 seconds
Cost: 100 mana

In the early game before you're stacked on cooldown reduction, this ability has a very high cooldown of 100 seconds, so you should play pretty conservatively with it. In solo lane, you should only use it really for finishing a kill, or using it to escape in the early game. With max CDR, it becomes a 60 second cooldown so you become more free to use it. The root is the most important part of the combo to hit, since you can't use the rest of the ultimate without hitting the initial strike. Don't be afraid to use this ability to escape since the dash has a pretty nice distance, but remember you can't cancel it.
.

Understanding Passive Skills

All three of Mulan's basic abilities have four stages, with various effects and bonuses depending on how much skill you've acquired towards that weapon. It is very important to quickly gain as much progress towards her skills as fast as you can, as they grant you useful tools that help you in the laning phase, as well as teamfights.

Sword Skill:
The sword skill will be one of the easiest to progress on, since you use this ability quite often for wave clear, jungle clear, and fighting in lane. The biggest power spike of this ability is when you hit Adept, gaining access to the third cone strike.

Spear Skill:
This should be your first to level up, since you should be prioritizing this ability in solo lane. This ability has two solid power spikes, one being when you reach Skilled, gaining access to the heal from the ability. And the second being Adept, gaining access to the second strike.

Bow Skill:
This will be your most difficult skill to make progress on, since landing this ability consistently is harder compared to her other two abilities. As with the sword skill, Adept is once again the power spike to get to on this ability. Gaining the ability to grapple to walls and not needing to rely on having an enemy in close proximity is essential for maneuvering.
