Searing Mantra Active
Channel flames to deal 100 (+25% Max Health, +100% Magic) damage, inflict 7 Burn per Rush triggered this game, and Stun all surrounding enemies for 3 seconds.
Hero
Ming
Vanguard
The Drifter
Ming burns everything adjacent to him every second, scaling on his own Max Health, and doubles it inside his Rush window. He does not need to attack to deal damage, which makes him the Vanguard that works while surrounded — the more enemies touch him, the more of them are burning.

What Ming gains per rank
A hero climbs C → B → A → S — 3 upgrades in all. Every stat rises at the same rate on every hero, with one exception: the primary stat of the class rises three to four times faster. For Ming that stat is Health.
| Stats | Per rank | C → S |
|---|---|---|
| Healthprimary | +25% | +75% |
| Defence | +8 | +24 |
| Attack | +6 | +18 |
| Magic | +6 | +18 |
| Attack speed | +5 | +15 |
| Crit | +4 | +12 |

Health rises as a percentage of base health; every other stat is a flat addition. The specialization is chosen at rank B, and the class modifier pools open at A and S.
