Hoyan Animus Overview

Hoyan is an SSR Hollow champion who thrives as a high-risk counterattacker with powerful anti-revival mechanics and self-resurrection utility. Operating by the cold logic of “Prune, Reap, Execute,” Hoyan delivers massive single-target damage, disables revives, and can turn fatal blows into comeback plays, making her especially deadly in PvP.

Her basic attack strikes twice and applies [Wound], denying recovery options. Her passive lets her cheat death—staying on 1 HP with a [Soul Ward] buff before countering with her ultimate, and reviving fallen allies if it secures a kill. Enemies defeated by this ultimate cannot be revived, and each activation grants a stack of [Fleeting Glance], permanently boosting her ATK.

Hoyan’s ultimate sacrifices 50% of her current HP to deal massive single-target damage that increases in damage the more she loses HP, making it lethal even against all opponents. With her ability to disrupt revive-based comps, punish aggression, and scale with each counter, Hoyan stands out as a unique execution-style champion—perfect for players who favor tactical, punishing plays and momentum control.

Hoyan was actually not included in the most recent beta and has just been added to the live servers (June 15th), although her skills remain MOSTLY the same as the January Beta, her ratings may be adjusted in the coming days as we unlock and test her out in the live state of the game.
