Notes[]

Yan Luo is a Legendary dark Honorbound Caster introduced on the 13th June 2019. He is the 91th released Hero. Yan is the brother of Jin Lei and the only non-undead hero with Soulless Scourge.

Like the Undead Caster Lord Zomm all attacks of Yan Luo deal Dark damage. In this way he can hurt spirit immune heroes like Ekko and Solaris, but not Shadow Queen Daeris. She is completely immune to all attacks of Yan Luo and Zomm because of her Shadowborn trait.

Synergies[]

If Yan Luo is on team with Samurai Takumi and gets attacked by a Melee attacker he will revenge twice! One time from being Slow and a second time from Takumi's Proven Honor.
