Rylai, the Crystal Maiden, is a ranged intelligence hero who uses the power of frost and

ice to disable and dispatch her foes. A slow and fragile support, Crystal Maiden's strength
lies in her battery of strong nukes, disables and slows. Crystal Nova is an area-of-effect
nuke that slows enemies' attack and movement speeds, while Frostbite immobilizes an
enemy in a block of ice, dealing moderate damage per second. Coordinating these spells
with a laning partner's own abilities will bring many an enemy to their knees. Her
passive Arcane Aura also improves the mana regeneration for heroes in Rylai's team,
multiplying their spellcasting in the early game. Later on, she has the potential to lay waste
to her enemies in teamfights if she can channel her deadly ultimate Freezing
Field uninterrupted. Her global mana aura, strong disables and nukes, and a lack of item
dependence make Crystal Maiden a reliable and, with judicious use of her ultimate, a
devastating support caster.

Bio[edit]
Rylai, the Crystal Maiden
 "When Hell freezes over, I'll start calling it Heaven."
Lore:
Born in a temperate realm, raised with her fiery older sister Lina, Rylai the Crystal Maiden soon found that
her innate elemental affinity to ice created trouble for all those around her. Wellsprings and mountain
rivers froze in moments if she stopped to rest nearby; ripening crops were bitten by frost, and fruiting
orchards turned to mazes of ice and came crashing down, spoiled. When their exasperated parents
packed Lina off to the equator, Rylai found herself banished to the cold northern realm of Icewrack, where
she was taken in by an Ice Wizard who had carved himself a hermitage at the crown of the Blueheart
Glacier. After long study, the wizard pronounced her ready for solitary practice and left her to take his
place, descending into the glacier to hibernate for a thousand years. Her mastery of the Frozen Arts has
only deepened since that time, and now her skills are unmatched.
