Silvanna deals Magic Damage with Basic Attack. Her skills can mark the enemy hit. Each mark reduces the target's Physical & Magic Defense. A target can carry up to 5 marks. When the amount of marks reaches the limit, Silvanna's skill can deal Extra Damage to the target.
Silvanna strikes with her Lance, dealing Magic Damage to all enemies in the path and stunning the first enemy hero hit. Meanwhile, she increases her Movement Speed. If this skill hits a target, Silvanna can dash in a designated direction and strike with her Lance again, dealing Magic Damage to enemies nearby.
Silvanna stabs her Lance in a designated direction and spins it for several times. Each time deals Magic Damage to the enemies within the AoE and slightly pulls them to the center. Meanwhile, generates points of Shield to herself. Silvanna spins her lance 1 more time for each 50% extra Attack Speed. If the target is a Minion, deals less damage.
Silvanna leaps toward an area, dealing Magic Damage to enemies within the AoE and slowing them down. Meanwhile, Silvanna creates a Circle of Light, in which the enemy that is closest to the center will be restrained from escaping for several seconds. If Silvanna is in the Circle, she will get extra Attack Speed and Magic Lifesteal.
