Moon Palace Immortal - Shanga's Skills and Strategy

Passive: Troublemaker

  • Each time Shanga deals damage to an enemy, she applies a mark.
  • Marks increase the damage of her next skill on the target.

Skills Overview

1. Star Moon Shockwave

  • Shanga launches an energy sphere in the target direction.
  • Deals magic damage and slows enemies in its path.
  • The Crescent Moon launches four additional energy spheres that deal damage and slow hits.

2. Crescent Moon

  • Summons the Crescent Moon, granting a permanent shield and increased movement speed until the shield is destroyed.
  • Enhances Shanga's skills and basic attacks.
  • Basic attacks and skills reduce cooldown of this skill.

3. Ultimate: Meteor Shower

  • Continuously fires meteors in a target direction, gaining movement speed.
  • Meteors deal magic damage and the Crescent Moon also fires meteors with Shanga.

Laning Phase Strategy

  • Get the shield from the second skill first.
  • Mark enemies with basic attacks, then use the first skill to slow low HP enemies.
  • Finish them off with the ultimate.

Team Fight Strategy

  • Get the shield from the second skill first.
  • Use the first skill to poke enemies, then follow up with the ultimate.
  • Move around during the ultimate to maintain safety and ensure meteors hit the target.

Early Game Tips

  • Shanga has great long-range poke and killing ability but lacks mobility and crowd control (CC).
  • Upgrade the second skill at level one for enhanced basic attacks and shield but prioritize the first skill next for more damage.

Equipment Recommendations

  1. Legendary Ice Queen Wand
    • Core item for Shanga; activates slow effect during her ultimate.
  2. Glowing Wand
    • Enhance ultimate damage in the mid-game.
  3. Holy Crystal
    • Increases magic power.

Battle Spell Recommendations

  • Flame Chop
    • Helps keep enemies away or deal extra damage.
  • Sprint
    • Increases chance of hitting targets with the ultimate.

Matchups

  • Strong Against:
    • Squishy heroes with low mobility (e.g., Udora, Odet).
  • Countered By:
    • Agile assassins with high burst damage (e.g., Hanzo, Harley).
    • They can evade Shanga's skills and easily take her down.

Team Dynamics

  • Works well with tanks that can pull enemies together (e.g., Gacha, Tigri) to maximize damage and follow-up in fights.

Mid to Late Game Strategy

  • Focus on farming and maintaining the shield from the second skill while poking enemies.
  • In team fights, aim the ultimate at the enemy backline for maximum impact.
  • If the team falls behind, prioritize clearing minions and the Lord to buy more time for the team to regroup.

Summary

Shanga is an effective long-range magic damage dealer with strong poke and killing potential, though she can be vulnerable to agile assassins. Use positioning and timing strategically to maximize her potential in fights.
