Summary
Highlights
Hiraya is a high-mechanic assassin using a unique combo system where skills are dragged to activate different combo skills. Her skill one, Mason E, allows two dashes, with the first following her facing direction and the second using joystick control. This skill provides strong physical damage scaling with extra physical attack, making it versatile for chasing, dodging, or escaping. Her skill two, Hayabusa, unleashes crimson maple in a fan-shaped area, dealing initial damage and a stronger second hit after a delay, which is effective for farming and dealing burst damage.
Hiraya's first combo skill, Infernal Torrent, is activated by dragging skill one into skill two. After a dash, she spins, deals AoE damage, and immobilizes enemies, ideal for locking down targets. Her enhanced skill two, Falling Maple, activated by dragging skill two into skill one, makes her untargetable for up to one second while immobilizing her. This leads to a strong burst of damage and a directional dash, making it a safe burst tool to avoid damage and counter-attack.
Hiraya's passive, Twin Flames, grants two energy charges for combo skills. Using a combo consumes one energy, and an interrupted recovery occurs if another energy is used while one is still recovering. For early game, prioritize skill two for damage, then use a second combo skill at level two to maximize damage and trigger her passive. Her combo skills can still be used even if base skills are on cooldown, as long as passive energy is available, which aids faster farming and rotation.
The video outlines essential items for Hiraya, with the last two being situational. For emblems, the Attack emblem setup is recommended, with 'Season Hunter' for jungling or 'Festival of Blood' for non-jungling roles, and 'Killing Spree' for extra movement speed and HP recovery. The optimal combat combo involves starting with a skill one dash, followed by enhanced skill one to immobilize, then skill two, and finishing with enhanced skill two for maximum damage and immunity. Hiraya pairs well with heroes like Khaleed, Chou, and Angela, but is vulnerable to crowd control. Players are encouraged to be aggressive, even diving towers with proper timing, but to always assess the situation to avoid being outnumbered.
Hiraya is described as a fun and strong hero, but challenging to master. She offers great burst, mobility, and outplay potential, but requires good timing, energy management, and clean combos to be effective. The video highlights a successful combo with Angela, emphasizing the importance of team synergy. The creator invites viewers to share their thoughts on Hiraya's difficulty and worthiness of mastery.
