Soul Bloom
Skill 1BurstCD: 7.5 Mana Cost: 50
Mathilda resonates with the power of her ancestors for 4s, attracting wisps as her movement distance increases (up to 6 wisps). At the end of the skill's duration, or when Mathilda casts this skill again, the wisps will seek and attack nearby enemies, each dealing 275 (+80% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage and revealing the enemies' positions briefly. Subsequent damage dealt by wisps to the same target decays to 40%.

Guiding Wind
Skill 2MobilityShieldCD: 13.5 Mana Cost: 60
Mathilda leaps in the target direction and creates a field around her, gaining a 350 (+180% Total Magic Power) shield and 25% extra Movement Speed for 3s. Allied heroes who come into contact with the field will receive a 50% shield and Guiding Wind. The first allied hero that triggers Guiding Wind will be guided to Mathilda, and both of them will gain the same Movement Speed boost. When casting this skill during Circling Eagle, Mathilda won't change her position. Guiding Wind expires 2s after the hero leaves Mathilda's field.

Circling Eagle
Skill 3MobilityShieldCD: 65 Mana Cost: 150
Mathilda applies a Soul Mark to the target enemy hero and circles around them for up to 3.5s, during which her wisps will fly into nearby enemies, each dealing 40 (+15% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage. The Soul Mark will also slow the target by 15% and Soul Bloom will prioritize the target with Soul Mark. Within the duration, Mathilda can select an area to dash to. At the end of the duration, she'll dash at the target with Soul Mark, dealing 320 (+120% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage while knocking enemies in her path airborne for 0.6s, transferring the Soul Mark to the first enemy hero that she knocks airborne, and reducing the skill cooldown by 40%. Mathilda gains Control Immunity and a 400 (+160% Total Magic Power) shield for the skill duration.
