Sha Residue erupts upon reaching full stacks, consuming 1 stack every several seconds.

When Sha Essence is fully charged, Yu Zhong gains Movement Speed and Spell Vamp.

Designer Note

One of the main feature of Yi Sun-shin is that he can switch his weapons flexibly according to his distance from the target. However, actually in most of the cases he was playing a ranged role instead of taking advantage of his glaive. Therefore, in this revamp, we have added powerful effects to his each weapon swap, which boosts his melee ability and provides him with more possibilities. As a result, Yi Sun-shin is given another new role: Assassin, apart from his original role Marksman. The Admiral who can fight using different weapons.
