Ye Xiu/Skills and Abilities

Skills and Abilities
In accordance with his nickname "Glory Textbook", Ye Xiu is proficient in every class. This goes to the point where he could go pro with any of the 24 sub-classes that are available. Some of the techniques used by other classes have been created by Ye Xiu like Delivery Gun and Dragon Raising Its Head. He is able to do complex moves from other classes as well such as Arc Charge and extremely precise Aerial Fire.

According to Huang Shaotian, Ye Xiu knows all of the weaknesses of his opponents in the Pro Alliance.

Due to being able to produce top quality tactics, Ye Xiu is regarded as one of the "Four Master Tacticians" alongside Yu Wenzhou from Blue Rain, Zhang Xinjie from Tyranny and Xiao Shiqin from Thunderclap. Whether it's PvP or PvE, Ye Xiu's great tactics become apparent. Instances of such tactical skill can be seen when Ye Xiu teamed up with Tyrannical Ambition to get the Goblin Merchant first skill through controlling the aggro and fighting against most of the Excellent Era main roster with Heavenly Sword plus Deception. In addition to controlling the aggro and suppressing an enemy through coordination of attacks, Ye Xiu has also formed many other tactical skills like the Spinning Spiderweb Formation.

Ye Xiu also has a deep understanding of the playstyles of his opponents. This can be seen when he was able to allow Wang Jiexi to utilise his Magician playstyle during the Season 10 All-Star Weekend.

Ye Xiu has immense hand speed. He reached an APM of 510 in the Team Challenge against Samsara and an APM of 764 in the Team Challenge during the Season 10 finals tie-breaker. While playing the piano, Ye Xiu's hand speed reaches 900 APM.
