Burn pressure drives the neutral game

Anran entered the roster as Wuyang's older sister and a Damage hero built around fiery fans. Her attacks can establish burn pressure, while follow-up damage becomes more threatening once a target is already affected.

A dash and a strike with a damage-avoidance window give her ways to cross dangerous space. Those tools support an aggressive rhythm, but they also force careful timing because spending both can leave her without a clean exit.

Her ultimate changes after death

While alive, Anran can charge into an explosive ultimate. If she is eliminated with the resource available, the interface instead offers a self-revive, turning the same ultimate economy into a second decision.

That split gives opponents more to track than a normal resurrection mechanic. Eliminating Anran may not end her involvement, yet saving the ultimate for recovery means giving up its immediate offensive version. Her February 5 trial let players test that tradeoff directly.
