Hanabi: Scarlet Flower
Hanabi is an adept ninja trained from a young age by the Scarlet Shadow Sect. This has given the skills that make her a powerful marksman. She specializes in reaping and damage, effectively taking down enemies from a distance and delivering crowd controlling techniques that can sway the tide of a battle.
She uses Ninjutsu in her attacks with special flower petal blades that allow her to lifesteal from her opponents and maintains her health. She also wields a weapon stolen from the sect that trained her, the Higanbana, which can effectively stop enemies in their path and make them vulnerable. These abilities make Hanabi talented on the lanes or in the jungle, allowing her to gank and push her way to her team’s finish.
Skills
Passive Ninjutsu: Equinox
The Passive skill, Ninjutsu: Equinox, gives Hanabi a shield that absorbs damage and makes her immune to crowd control effects. As long as the shield is up, Hanabi also receives a boost in speed to traverse the battlefield more quickly.
Skill 1: Ninjutsu Petal
Ninjutsu: Petal is Hanabi’sfirst skill tusese of the petal blades her basic attack unleashes. When this skill is selected, her petal blades bounce from the targeted player to any enemies nearby, dealing with damage. This allows her to attack multiple enemies for the duration of the skill. This also grants a passive ability that increases Hanabi’s lifesteal during these attacks gaining her more health to stay in the fray longer.
Skill 2: Ninjutsu Soul
Hanabi’s second skill, Ninjutsu: Soul, uses a scroll that can be fired in a straight line in a designated direction. Any enemy that comes in contact with the scroll will receive damage and a speed debuff. For every enemy hit, Hanabi’s mana will also increase. With HHanabi’spowerful skills, this can be essential to managing her skill usage so she doesn’t run low on mana.
Skill 3: Forbidden Jutsu Higanabana
The ultimate skill uses the stolen Scarlet Shadow Sect weapon and is appropriately called Forbidden Jutsu: Higanbana. Hanabi throws the Higanbana at a target where it blooms into a flower on impact. This deals with damage and immobilizes the affected opponent. If another enemy is within the flower range, a second flower will bloom beneath them, dealing damage and immobilizing them as well. This attack makes enemies incredibly vulnerable and can allow Hanabi to wipe the whole team out if used correctly.

Build
Emblem
Hanabi is an incredibly strong marksman with range, power, and special skills on her side. Boosting her strengths can diminish her weaknesses or nullify them completely by contributing to the lifesteal and mana regeneration she already has. Using the marksman emblem and focusing on mobility, attack power, and health regeneration are advantageous when building her.

Items
Basic
Jungle
Durable
The item Haas’s claws will increase Hanabi’s lifesteal and boost her physical attacks.
The Swift Boots raise physical speed and attack speed. As a ranged attacker with weaker defenses, Hanabi will avoid enemy attacks and avoid being slain.
The item Windtalker boosts attack and speed while also giving more power to critical strikes. This sword has a unique passive effect that attacks three enemies at once. The cooldown for this attack is impacted by the critical strikes Hanabi lands.
Berserker’sFury gives boosts to physical attack and aids in critical strike alongside Windtalker, doubling Hanabi’s benefit.
The Blade of Despair gives a small speed boost, and majorly increases physical attack. When opponents are low on health, the attack benefits are boosted, even more, allowing Hanabi to take down vulnerable opponents with ease.
Scarlet Phantom increases physical attack and attack speed even more. With this and other similar items, Hanabi can effectively make her attacks damaging enough to take down enemies independently.
When Hanabi gets a full build in gameplay, she can become effectively impenetrable with this set of items. Replacing any of these with a mana regeneration item, such as Demon Shoes, can also help her succeed.
Hanabi Information
Hanabi is incredibly strong offensively, allowing her to stand up to enemies independently with her heavy distance attacks. Her skill power and defenses are not very strong, but her abilities grant her assistance in those areas with mana regeneration and lifesteal.
Her skills can either be used to make her unstoppable on the battlefield or be misused, causing her to drain her mana and lose health quickly. This can make her complicated to learn and use, but anyone who masters her will find her a powerful choice paired with any team. She can be strong against any monster or opponent, and her crowd control techniques make her a wonderful ally. Boosting her beneficial qualities and buffering her weaknesses with a strong build may help to clench her advantage in battles.
Gameplay
With special talents in damage and reaping opponents, Hanabi effectively pushes a lane and destroys turrets. She can start the game jungling for buffs and money or head straight for a lane to start slaying creeps and takedown turret defenses. She is best in the middle lane, where her ranged attacks have the best shot at causing the most damage in a straight line.
When fights break out, Hanabi can join in with her ranged attacks to help allies defeat enemies. Her crowd control capabilities will be powerful assistance for her team to ensure the enemies are slain. This makes her adept at ganking, and she should use this to her and her teammate’s advantage.
Avoiding taking damage will be wise at the start of the game when her vulnerability is at its highest, so staying near allied turrets when defending or battling will help her avoid being slain. As she gains gear and levels her skills, she will become more capable of taking down opponents.
In the end game, this can allow her to lead a push for the enemy base. She is capable of being a carrier for the team when her item builds, and skills are used to their full extent. With the right techniques, this character can be a sure victory for the team.
