Zap, run, bilge, and take down the bad guys. Zeri, the Spark of Zoun, is coming to Summoner's Rift with patch 12.2!
Atashi fights for Zoun and for her people."

▲R - Lightning Crash
Releases a large amount of power to damage surrounding enemies and overcharges itself for a short while. While overcharged, damage, attack speed, and movement speed are increased. A normal attack on an enemy champion refreshes the effect time of the overcharge and increases the stack of movement speed.
While overcharged, the firing interval of "Burst Fire" is shortened and combined into three consecutive shots, releasing a chain of blasts that cascade to other enemies.

▲Unique Skill - Biological Battery
Increases movement speed each time a shield is acquired. When you damage an enemy's shield, it absorbs the energy and gains a shield of its own.

▲Q - Burst Fire
Automatic effect: Normal attacks deal magic damage. This magic damage increases with magic power and is treated as a skill.
When you move and use "Burst Fire", energy is accumulated in the "Spark Pack". When charged to the maximum, the next normal attack will have a slowing effect and deal additional damage.

<Effect of activation> Shoots a barrage of 7 bullets, each bullet dealing physical damage to the first enemy it hits.
Damage increases with attack power and is treated as a normal attack. The first bullet applies the effect of a normal attack. The cooldown will be the same as the timer of a normal attack.

▲W - Ultra Shock Laser
Fires an electromagnetic pulse that causes a slowing effect and damage to the first enemy hit. When the pulse hits a wall, it fires a long-range laser from where it hits.

▲E - Spark Surge
Dash a short distance and the next three "burst fires" are enhanced to penetrate the enemy. If the dash hits terrain, it will either jump over it or slide along it, depending on the angle of impact.
Hitting a champion with a normal attack or skill will shorten the cooldown of this skill.
