How Ming fits a formation
Ming is a Vanguard built around high-health rush vanguard and burn aura. Ming must remain adjacent to valuable targets. Build enough durability to keep the aura active through the Rush window.
Ming base stats
Derived comparison values
EHP and EOFF are comparison composites; Sec / cast estimates a passive mana-fill interval. They help compare records but are not separate in-game stats.
Ming ranks
Draft a duplicate of Ming or use an eligible campfire event to rank up. Rank B chooses a fixed specialization; Rank A and S draft from the active class modifier pool.
Rank C
The base stat line starts with the active ability equipped.

Inner Flame
Each second, inflict 1 per 650 Max Health Burn on adjacent enemies. For Rush ( 5 ), double the Burn .
Rank B
The first rank-up also chooses one of three fixed specializations. A path can add a class and change later offers.

The Searing
Channel flames to deal 100 (+ 25% Max Health , + 100% Magic ) damage, inflict 5 Burn per Rush triggered this game, and Stun all surrounding enemies for 3 seconds.

The Tempered
For Rush ( 15 ), Vanguards gain 25 (+25 per rank ) % Max HP . Backup.

The Enlightened
Increase the duration of Rush abilities by 1 (+1 per rank ) seconds. For Rush ( 0 ), Ming is immune to damage.
Rank A
Gain the stat package above, then choose from modifiers generated by Ming's active class set.
Rank S
Gain the stat package a final time and draft the last class modifier to complete the current Demo build.
Possible class modifiers
Later ranks offer modifiers from the hero's active class pool. Multiclass heroes receive a split offer set, so both class groups should contain useful outcomes before committing.

How to build around Ming
- Preserve the first job.Make sure Ming can already perform the role described above before adding a second engine.
- Choose a repeatable trigger.Match the specialization to an effect the current team can activate every fight.
- Protect the delivery condition.Range, mana, survival, and target access usually matter before another damage multiplier.
- Read the later pool.Choose an added class only when its Rank A/S modifier outcomes support the same plan.

Ming lore
“So this is where the world sends me next.”
Guild profile
Guild The Hunt - “When the call comes, we hunt.” Bringing the hood to the Rifts. Rushing and stalling, whatever you need.
Background
He's a frontliner with a particular kind of fire: solid, dependable, quiet in the briefing. Ming owns what fits in one bag and has never needed more. Guilds kept offering him a career path; he kept politely losing the paperwork. The Hunt is lenient enough to keep him on anyway - knowing full well that one morning, his bag will be gone.
Motivation
Ming lives in the moment, and it takes something real to grab his attention. There's something in how you lead that he can't quite let drift past.
