Skill Analysis

Yin has three active skills and a passive skill like all the other heroes in-game. In this Mobile Legends guide, we will also talk about the skills to use in certain scenarios as well as skill combos to be able to play Yin to his utmost potential.

A successful hit will allow Yin to put a second punch automatically which deals 320/360/400/440/480/520(+200% extra physical attack) physical damage to a line of enemies and also will reduce this skill’s CD by 35%.
