6. 0:10to her extremely versatile kit.
7. 0:13>> Her mechanics are unique centered around
8. 0:15her umbrella, which allows her to
9. 0:17completely alter the way her abilities
10. 0:19function. destroy.
11. 0:20>> In addition to high burst damage, she
12. 0:23has crowd control with stun and slow
13. 0:25effects, great mobility, and even a
14. 0:27built-in purify effect in her second
15. 0:29skill.

17. 0:33to better understand how to unlock her
18. 0:35full potential, don't worry. In this
19. 0:37video, I'll explain in a simple and
20. 0:39clear way how her passive works, each of
21. 0:42her abilities, the best combos to use,
22. 0:45and at the end, I'll share recommended
23. 0:47builds and essential tips to take your
24. 0:48gameplay with this beloved Mobile
25. 0:50Legends hero to the next level.
26. 0:53Passive.
27. 0:54Kagura's passive is what makes her kit
28. 0:56unique. It allows her to switch her
29. 0:58abilities depending on whether she is
30. 1:00holding her umbrella or not, giving her
31. 1:02a total of six different skills. When
32. 1:04the umbrella is on the ground, Kagura
33. 1:07can walk toward it or use her abilities
34. 1:09to retrieve it. Whenever she regains the
35. 1:11umbrella, she deals area magic damage,
36. 1:14applies a brief stun followed by a 60%
37. 1:17slow to nearby enemies, and gains a
38. 1:19shield based on her total magic power
39. 1:21that lasts for a few seconds. This
40. 1:23effect has a 4.5 second cool down.
41. 1:26Although it may seem simple, this
42. 1:28passive is an excellent source of crowd
43. 1:30control and makes a huge difference in
44. 1:32fights, especially when executing
45. 1:34combos, which we'll cover later. Before
46. 1:36explaining each ability, it's very
47. 1:38important to understand a detail that
48. 1:40many beginners overlook. The cooldown
49. 1:42system works differently depending on
50. 1:44whether Kagura is holding the umbrella.
51. 1:47Skill one shares the same cooldown
52. 1:48whether Kagura has the umbrella or not.
53. 1:51However, skill 2 and the ultimate have
54. 1:53separate cooldowns which allows for more
55. 1:56complex and advanced sequences if you
56. 1:58manage them properly. You can see this
57. 2:00through the side cooldown indicator on
58. 2:02the skill icons.
59. 2:04>> Mastering this detail is essential to
60. 2:06play Kagura effectively.
61. 2:08>> Skill one. While holding the umbrella,
62. 2:11Kagura throws it in a chosen direction,
63. 2:13dealing magic damage and applying 60%
64. 2:16slow to enemies hit. While the umbrella
65. 2:19is on the ground, you can recast the
66. 2:21ability to reposition it once again,
67. 2:23dealing damage and applying slow.
68. 2:26Properly controlling the umbrella's
69. 2:27positioning is fundamental for good
70. 2:29Kagura gameplay since nearly all of her
71. 2:31offensive potential depends on this
72. 2:33mechanic.
73. 2:34>> Skill two. While holding the umbrella,
74. 2:37Kagura dashes in a chosen direction and
75. 2:40leaves the umbrella at her original
76. 2:41position. The key feature of this
77. 2:44ability is that it works as a built-in
78. 2:46purify, removing crowd control effects
79. 2:48upon activation. This allows Kagura to
80. 2:51escape dangerous situations with great
81. 2:53ease. When used without holding the
82. 2:55umbrella, Kagura teleports to it and
83. 2:57retrieves it. However, it's important to
84. 3:00remember that in this case, she does not
85. 3:02activate the purify effect. The
86. 3:04cleansing effect only works when skill 2
87. 3:06is used while Kagura is holding the
88. 3:08umbrella
89. 3:10ultimate. While holding the umbrella,
90. 3:13Kagura creates an explosion of magic
91. 3:15damage around herself, knocking enemies
92. 3:17back. This version is simpler and deals
93. 3:20moderate damage, usually serving as part
94. 3:23of her combo setup. When the umbrella is
95. 3:26on the ground, the ultimate becomes much
96. 3:28more powerful. It creates an explosion
97. 3:30around the umbrella, applying 60% slow
98. 3:33for a short duration. Shortly after, a
99. 3:35second explosion occurs, dealing
100. 3:37additional damage and pulling enemies
101. 3:39toward the center. This is Kagura's main
102. 3:42source of damage. When properly executed
103. 3:44within a combo, this ability can easily
104. 3:47burst down fragile heroes such as enemy
105. 3:48mages and marksmen.
106. 3:51Combos. Kagura has practically an
107. 3:54infinite number of combos thanks to her
108. 3:56extremely versatile kit. To keep things
109. 3:58simple, I'll present the easiest and
110. 4:00most efficient combos that you can use
111. 4:02in most matches. The first combo is
112. 4:04Kagura's standard combo and the one most
113. 4:06commonly used by players. Start by using
114. 4:09skill one to throw the umbrella. Then
115. 4:11activate the ultimate to deal damage
116. 4:13around it. Use skill one again to
117. 4:16reposition the umbrella. Then use skill
118. 4:18two to teleport to it.
119. 4:20>> Activate the ultimate again to deal
120. 4:22additional damage. And finally, use
121. 4:24skill two to retreat safely.
122. 4:27>> At first, this combo may seem
123. 4:29complicated, but with practice, it
124. 4:31becomes very natural and extremely
125. 4:32effective. The second combo is ideal for
126. 4:36securing a faster and more explosive
127. 4:38elimination.
128. 4:39>> Use skill one. Activate the ultimate.
129. 4:42>> Use skill two to dash in. Activate the
130. 4:45ultimate again and then retreat with
131. 4:47skill two.
132. 4:48>> When executed quickly, this combo makes
133. 4:50it very difficult for enemies to escape,
134. 4:52especially due to the chained crowd
135. 4:54control effects.
136. 4:55>> The third combo is meant for dealing
137. 4:57quick burst damage and immediately
138. 4:59backing off. Use skill one, then
139. 5:02ultimate. Dash with skill two. Use skill
140. 5:05two again to retrieve the umbrella and
141. 5:07finish with skill one for additional
142. 5:09damage.
143. 5:12>> The last combo on this list is ideal for
144. 5:14surprising enemies from medium to long
145. 5:16range.
146. 5:17>> Use skill two to dash toward the enemy.
147. 5:20Activate the ultimate. Use flicker for
148. 5:22aggressive repositioning. Cast skill
149. 5:25one. Use skill two
150. 5:28>> and finish with the ultimate again.
151. 5:31>> Although it requires more resources and
152. 5:33precise timing, this combo is extremely
153. 5:35unpredictable and hard to avoid, making
154. 5:38it very effective against fragile
155. 5:40targets. These are some of the main
156. 5:42combos for our beloved Kagura. As you
157. 5:45become more comfortable with her
158. 5:46mechanics and cool down management,
159. 5:48executing combos will start to feel
160. 5:50automatic and natural during matches.
161. 5:53>> Build and emblems. Kagura is a hero
162. 5:56fully focused on explosive magic damage
163. 5:58as her main objective in a match is to
164. 6:00quickly eliminate priority targets such
165. 6:02as mages and marksmen. For that reason,
166. 6:05the ideal approach is to invest in items
167. 6:07that maximize her burst potential so she
168. 6:10can fulfill her role efficiently.
169. 6:12Genius wand is an excellent item for
170. 6:14Kagura because it provides magic
171. 6:16penetration and reduces the enemy's
172. 6:19magic defense through its passive. This
173. 6:22significantly increases her damage
174. 6:23against squishier targets and
175. 6:25strengthens her burst potential early in
176. 6:27the game.
177. 6:28>> The combination of holy crystal and
178. 6:30lightning tunchin drastically increases
179. 6:32Kagura's damage output. These two items
180. 6:35greatly enhance her power spike,
181. 6:37allowing her to eliminate fragile
182. 6:39targets with ease and even deal
183. 6:41significant damage to fighters depending
184. 6:43on the situation. Blood Wings is also a
185. 6:46great choice as it provides a massive
186. 6:48amount of magic power and grants an
187. 6:50additional shield, increasing her
188. 6:52survivability after engaging
189. 6:53aggressively in fights. Divine Glaive is
190. 6:57essential against more durable
191. 6:58compositions due to its high percentage
192. 7:00based magic penetration. This item
193. 7:02ensures that your damage remains
194. 7:04effective even against tanks and heroes
195. 7:06with high magic defense. Regarding
196. 7:08emblems, the most recommended options
197. 7:10for Kagura are the Mage Emblem and the
198. 7:13Assassin Emblem. If the enemy team is
199. 7:15more durable, the assassin emblem can be
200. 7:17the better choice because of the
201. 7:18additional penetration. Against
202. 7:20squishier compositions, the Mage Emblem
203. 7:22is usually superior, offering higher
204. 7:25magic power and cool down reduction. For
205. 7:27talents, in the first slot, I recommend
206. 7:29Thrill or Rupture. In the second slot,
207. 7:32Bargain Hunter or Weapons Master are
208. 7:35great options. In the final slot, impure
209. 7:38rage or lethal ignition work very well.
210. 7:40The ideal choice will always depend on
211. 7:42the enemy composition and your strategy
212. 7:44for the match. The most recommended
213. 7:46battle spells for Kagura are flameshot
214. 7:49to increase damage and secure longrange
215. 7:51kills or flicker for aggressive or
216. 7:54defensive repositioning. These are some
217. 7:56builds that I personally use and
218. 7:58recommend, especially for players who
219. 8:00are just starting with the hero. Feel
220. 8:03free to use them or adapt them according
221. 8:04to your play style and the needs of each
222. 8:06match.
223. 8:08>> Tips to improve your gameplay. Kagura is
224. 8:11a hero who relies heavily on items to
225. 8:13reach strong finishing power. In the
226. 8:15early minutes of the match, the ideal
227. 8:17approach is to maintain safe positioning
228. 8:20and farm from a distance since your
229. 8:22early damage is still low and won't have
230. 8:24a significant impact in fights. When
231. 8:26using your first skill, always try to
232. 8:29throw the umbrella at maximum range.
233. 8:31This improves your poke and allows you
234. 8:33to retrieve it more efficiently. For
235. 8:36that reason, it's much better to aim the
236. 8:38skill manually instead of simply tapping
237. 8:40it. You can also use this ability to
238. 8:42check bushes safely and avoid ambushes.
239. 8:45Her second skill is extremely valuable
240. 8:47because of the mobility and most
241. 8:50importantly, the built-in purify effect.
242. 8:53This is what makes Kagura one of the
243. 8:54hardest mages to eliminate in the game.
244. 8:57Use this ability to escape enemy engages
245. 9:00and to cleanse dangerous crowdcontrol
246. 9:02effects that could otherwise get you
247. 9:03killed. To make your escape even more
248. 9:06effective, you can cast skill one to
249. 9:07position the umbrella at a distance,
250. 9:09teleport to it using skill two, and then
251. 9:12use the dash from the skill again. This
252. 9:15allows you to cover a much greater
253. 9:16distance and significantly increases
254. 9:18your chances of survival. You can also
255. 9:21teleport to the umbrella during fights
256. 9:23to dodge important enemy abilities.
257. 9:26One crucial detail to keep in mind is
258. 9:28that while you are without the umbrella
259. 9:30in your possession, you become much more
260. 9:32vulnerable since you won't be able to
261. 9:34activate the purify effect from skill 2.
262. 9:37Knowing the right moment to retrieve the
263. 9:39umbrella is essential to avoid being
264. 9:41punished. Her ultimate is an extremely
265. 9:44important ability both for pickoffs and
266. 9:46team fights due to its high area damage.
267. 9:49Always prioritize fragile targets such
268. 9:51as mages, marksmen, and assassins.
269. 9:55Eliminating these core damage dealers
270. 9:57gives your team a huge advantage in
271. 9:59objective fights. Avoid using your
272. 10:01ultimate recklessly as wasting this
273. 10:04resource can completely compromise a
274. 10:05fight.
275. 10:07>> The ideal strategy is to take advantage
276. 10:09of bushes to surprise poorly positioned
277. 10:11enemies and burst them down quickly.
278. 10:14Never use your ultimate on tanks or
279. 10:16highly durable heroes at the start of a
280. 10:17fight as you will rarely be able to
281. 10:19eliminate them immediately. Finally,
282. 10:22it's essential to always be present in
283. 10:24team fights, especially during objective
284. 10:26contests.
285. 10:28In addition to dealing damage, Kagura's
286. 10:30umbrella also provides strong zoning
287. 10:32pressure because of the threat of her
288. 10:34ultimate. Use this pressure to control
289. 10:36space, limit enemy movement, and create
290. 10:39opportunities for your team.
