There are so many good novaria players nowadays it's kind of a pain in the butt. I just pick her asap to deny it to the opponent. As pos4 main, it's easy to recommend these for soloq: lylia, novaria, vex, faramis. They are really reliable, and most importantly it's very easy to stay alive when being targetted.
Faramis is nerfed, once you get out of his ultimate circle, you can't be invincible anymore. And his ultimate is very small lol, easy to get out of it.
I didn't know that transform cc can stop Akai's ultimate and Knock-ups can't be reduced by resilience. So that's why Minotaur's still a high tier tank. I still learn new knowledge about the game despite having played it since release.
Every time I use Xavier, I carry my whole random teammates but still get defeated. 😭 The best thing I love about him is that I can kill enemies with only his 1st and 2nd skills. Satisfying 😀 Xavier is my main hero but I don't use him if there is an assassin in the enemy team.
Wdym you don't use him when there's an assassin? Isn't every mages free food for assassins? Doesn't matter what mage you play, an assassin who have instant burst damage can easily kill you if you don't have map awareness.
Vale can give vision with his second skill on bushes. Unlike Selena (first) skill or nana second skill, if you put his second skill even in the edge of a very large bush, it gives vision on the entire bush area.
I agree, besides, of all the heroes, Lunox was the character that had the most victories compared to other heroes I've played. But, it depends on each person.
I can play kagura or any mage but Lunox I think she's the hardest mage I can master lol I get annoyed and a headache playing her and I'm in mythical glory rank 😂
@@uzuma2115 Yeah she's weak against Heroes with Stun and CC abilities if U panic and put all your skills on cooldown you're dead 💀😹 so yeah after revamp she's a bit easy to use but falls short against Stun heroes
she supposed to be the current meta even in esports team but i prefer hard cc mages like vale and vexana to be honest. like, if you picked mage without cc you're missing an importamt role. it's okay if your team picked tank cc like tigreal or fredrinn though.
lylia become trash hero for me. i always used lylia. she's not good for Solo rank anymore. she is ok for the party if u have a tank and have ally can rely on. but if u go solo, she cant kill ( ulti only run.no more bomb) also no CC. for solo rank, need CC at least. even Novali is garbage hero for Solo. even thought u kill enemy a lot, u cant protect ally. also her Ulti cant even def tower.
Agreed! In my last novaria game, I had 90% accuracy MVP performance but my teammates didn't even finish or scracth enemy. So, my every effort was in drain
@@ikanuwunahh, what makes gord good is how easily he depletes those tanks hp with his true dmg, cause those tanks lacks mobility, they takes full dmg of gord combos
I agree with everything at this least except for Lylia. i think she should be put higher. She's very powerful at early game and especially late game, She's a utility jungler killer ( tanks) and could easily kill any heroes with no mobility. Heck she could literally towerdive all the mages in this list and still escape easily and safely. She has the slow, damage, sustain, wave clear, vision and crazy movement speed too. I'm global lylia and she made me reach mythical immortal even at Soloq
In a 5 men team, my pick will be Xavier because all of of his aoe skills and range increase mechanics+ with 45% cdr and spamable skill and last but not least ICBM as an ult😂 he is kinda underrated Edit: I think valir deserve to be on this list
Valir solid for sure and can definitely creep into this list given the right enemy lineup. But IMO his dmg can be quite lacking if you're not landing your shots well. Is also abit behind these other mages in late game due to poor wave clear and lower damage. Too many boxes to tick for me.
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming I agree. But he's main advantage is his survivability. He has chance to escape because of his unique skill set. On the other hand my favorite mage, Xavier gets caught by someone, he's done. (Sometimes can survive by using winter truncheon)
Ice Cream Wand eh kind of disagree with novaria, mainly because the lack of CC... having CC for midlaner actually helps a lot even if you don't deal much dmg... poking is nice but can easily countered by heal roamer such as mino, loli, mathilda, etc you don't even need athena to counter her dmg as healer roamer because you can easily outheal her dmg (from personal experience) if Xavier is there then i do think Cecilion deserve one too because both of them are late game midlaner and has same weakness. imo Cecilion is actually easier to use Valir is still good to use against Tank/Fighter jungler Zhask as well, because his ult can be considered as similiar to odette's ult Lunox, Harith probably deserve a spot... tho Harith is more Goldlaner than Midlaner Cool video tho
Good shouts overall. Yes healer roam can somewhat reduce effectiveness of Novaria's poke, but counters exist for for every hero anyway, so she's not perfect but good enough IMO. A good Nova just pins the enemy back that it makes it so hard to contest any objective without taking big risks. Yeah Ceci, Valir and Lunox are definitely solid too.
i'm just glad people start noticing underrated vale and you put him in the second place. yes his dmg seems weaker than other mages but his cc is annoying especially if you buy enchanted talisman to spam more cc. also with recently revamped blood wings his survivability boosted a lot in mid game. this hero carried me through epic, legend, till mythic at 94% win rate (for this current season only). on the other hand, i know vexana crowned as the current meta but i only have 60% winrate on her. idk but she seems easier to die than vale.
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming also, imagine you had to outrun vale with sprint spell and blood wings and ten stack of passive 🤣 at this point, flicker is overrated i don't even need it anymore. not to mention enemy hero had to sidestep my tornado.
I was so behind in gold while playing louyi but after losing the game I checked the dmg percentage and it was 52 …that’s the highest dmg I have seen so far in a mage hero…..but yeah you need a good front liner to focus on these combos
Lunox is a actually good choice. If you meet a good lunox, she can literally crush all mages mentioned here alone. Her revamp made her easier to switch state, and dark ult has no mana consumption, and her light ult immunity is everyone’s nightmare.
I agree on odette im an odette player and she's one the the mage heroes is easy to use and deals alot of damage i love to use her shes very strong and even can counter certain of heroes for example tanks fighters and assassin
Aurora almost crept into it, but he S2 nerf makes it difficult to consistently land that freeze, and also makes her easier to dive which is rough in solo 😕
I recommend using heroes that are hard to kill: lylia, nana and novaria. I sometimes pick Xavier if the opponent have tank/fighter jungle and no assassin. Nana is your safe bet as she has both the damage and the stun if you are picking first. Novaria if they have more than two squishy heroes. Lylia is really good and can be played in many lineups but I mainly choose her when out team have a cc hero.
Great list! I personally main Valir and I think he also packs a good punch with the right tactics. That said, I wouldn't recommend him for beginners who solo queue. It took me a few months to master him and get a good win rate and MMR. I think any mage would do well with good practice and mastery of their kits.
Well this is for solo-q, so Vale allows me to be speedy while having a solid CC, range, speed, and damage is what I want to look for when playing solo 😉
im surprised that kagura wasnt mentioned. she has pretty good damage and a good amount of cc, poke, burst, and a good amount of escape tools. a good kagura will be able to time their stuns well enough to escape unharmed.
Another mage you can add is kagura, harith or valir Valir is just a pain to fight with. His second skill can counter dash skills like guin, joy or gus. His skill one also has unlimited uses when hitting an enemy Plus he has a buff of all of his skill with his ulti. Kagura has mobility crowd control and cc immunity with her second skill, big damage of first skill and her ULTi has 2 uses which can compress enemy's and can push them away. This needs skill tho Harith has extremely big damage specially as a jungler. This also needs practice and skills but can help you rank up easily when you know how to use it
Another thing I picked up from this video is that... Indonesian tends to not communicate in English at all 😂 As an Indonesian myself, i think the playerbase from our region is huge enough to not be forced to play cross region. Also the fact that many people like to use fake gps didn't help it either. I've seen some MY and SG on my matches and I'll just assume "oh they're Indonesian who use fake gps" 😂
Yooo this is actually a pretty good choices. And the fact that every mages mention in this video (minus novaria) are all half of my expert heroes. I complete all of their mastery codes😅. Sorry if in advance if there is something wrong with my grammar😅
You should consider luo yi also. Fast rotation with her ultimate, also the amount of cc she could make during team fight is annoying not to mention her insane damage
Bro, that's a really cool video. I agree with your opinion. Hey, I've got a little personal question for you, if you don't mind. Can you answer? Do you get $1 per 1000 views in this niche or not? I mean from RUclips monetization. I've been thinking about making videos about Honor Of Kings myself. But I don't know if there's any monetization at all.
Kag is really lacking in wave clear this season unfortunately. She's my favourite hero of all time style wise, but she definitely needs some buffs to take her to the top!
I will always be a Kagura main. They did buff her umbrella dmg to non-champ targets, but I feel is lagging behind all the other midlaners. As well as I always feel I’m running out of mana compared to other characters.
@@Shepherdl_._l you are so right about the mana consumption I can't even mention how many times I recall just to refill mana mid important fights/ganks .
Eudora and Cyclops can work, but are highly situational and are mostly outshadowed by most other mages generally. Not saying they're bad, but more often than not, another pick is better.
novaria almost has the same playstyle as gord clear lane in less than 2 seconds rotate fire a flameshot but better come back to mid repeat on mid to late game just be annoying and prevent 1v1s as there might be a risk of ally being 1v2+ and focus enemy mm and mage
I am new to this game. I have 8 years of experience in Heroes of The Storm and now i am trying to get into MLBB. However this game is sooo damn explosive and hard. Most of the time i dont understand what is going on and it is not uncommon for me to die in one second. I was speaking with my father (also a casual player) about how Vexana was probably the worse mage in the game considering her ult was a dumb giant that move super slow, and hardly hits anything so this video is surprising to say the least I will watch some more videos to see if i learn something
Solid in mid, but he's item dependent so if your team has a bad start, he can be worse many other mages due to his lack of utility skills. Mid also has one of the lowest farm if they're not able to get kills/assists early, which makes him trail behind even more from mid.
I think that Oddete is controversial its either she is op in a match or a total weakling if the enemy has a hero with knockup effect she is doomed in the laning phase she is strong against the high ground Mages (pharsa, yve, Xavier, etc) but against the other meta Mages she is weak Kadita has petrify and second skill to counter her plus ulti immune towards Odette nana has her passive and she can use Molina to stop oddete, novaria and lylia out range and can her poke her with insane damage, faramis has good Mobility, poke and ulti against her and vexana her Guards Knock up plus she can poke and damage oddete and unlike the other Mages Odette needs specific tank for her Deadly combo to work so yeah she is an amazing mage but based on my experiment she is situational let me know what y'all think
Sure she can be countered by a solid Kadita or smart enemies with high level cc, but most other mages are also done in by those too. Her anti-dive capability is what puts her high in my list, as in solo-q I want to be self-reliant as possible.
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming what you say is true I played 5 ranked matches with her i lost the 4th game as the opponent mage was vexana and they had guin and Saber but apart from that I faced 2 pharsas a nana and a Luo Yi and as you said she was anti gank like the shield from her Ultimate also came in clutch many Times I also don't know why nobody uses Odette spellvamp like I used that and its op also can I know why pharsa isn't on the list
With gord, I was in the 4th position from my state and i have to say you can play with the character till legend but it's impossible beyond that... Assassin are the real nightmare for gord because of his mobility and even though skill one is for stunt but it's doesn't help much as fighter or an assassin will kill gord without any difficulty....
Ehh most of these mages are fine but I wouldn't put gord vale novaria there from a soloq standpoint, i don't like to go for more supportive/low damage mages with an unreliable team xd. Mages like lunox and ceci can pretty much single carry if they snowball enough but no matter how many kills these three heros get they can't carry deadweight sidelanes from my experience xd, totally agree with ur list if the teammates are reliable though, think faramis lunox and possibly chang'e couldve made it tho
Valir is solid, especially into a lineup that doesn't have too many escape tools. Slow-locking those line-ups are devastating for sure. But Valir is still held back by bad wave clear and weak late game damage, which makes him very conditional to impact early-mid in order to win a game.
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming I totally agree with that. Sometimes I use assassin emblems to make his damage higher a little but Valir as you said suitable for team fights and stalking time for the team to come and get the kills
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming Valir user here. His specialty is not damage, but skill spammer, assist (stunlock), defending turrets, stealing turtles, etc. Consider him as a 2nd roamer. You can play aggresively tho in the late game if you are on the winning side. Save his Ult to counter the unfavorable situation. As for my build, I prefer these: - Demon shoe & E. Talisman for spamming. - Ice wand & Durance(or Glowing depends on your enemy) - C.energy & Blood wings to amplify vamp & increase survivability. You should have full stack of vamp from Blood Fest at this time tho. Emblem mage: agility, blood fest, ignition/focus mark. Above is not mandatory, need adjustment based on your enemy & objective. But at least, this is what I use to push solo mythic. With a good cc from Tigreal, Gatot, Mino, or Minst, I happen to almost wipe out enemy entire team. Just make sure you don't push the crowd away from the cc zone tho 😂
Bro can you do a video about not getting tilted in a game? I really need something like that because my anger's been on the rise because of my matches lately.
Sounds like a good suggestion! For now, maybe just take a short break from MLBB to get off the tilt. Maybe play something chill like fruit ninja can get your mind off things for abit :) Or you can watch stuff like MPL which are ongoing.
Crazy especially in non-solo games and against enemies that don't know what to do with her. Good shout for sure, but still below Top 8 for me overall in solo.
Vexana is very annoying and can prevent ebemy from recall to base went there is back door. I rarely use her since every single time i use her it alway a losing battle, talk about curse.i once reach 10 lose streak alone because of this curse.
@@aahitagnidas8564 yeah she's still decent but definitely way worse than what she was on release; she's way too easy to kill as she can't defend herself at all from heroes that manage to get close to her not to mention that there's not really a clear way to build her you want to build a lot of magic power to increase the freeze duration of her ult but then you also want cooldown reduction cuz of the long cooldowns of her 2nd skill and ult but then you also want magic pen to be able to deal damage but then you prolly would want to build items like Ice Queen Wand and NoD to enhance her role as a CC mage but then you prolly want some def so you can survive assassin attacks and also because she has to get pretty close to enemies to make her skills land and because of all of that, I can't really find a good balance for all of them XD
Honestly, it doesn't really matter if you pick any of these heroes it depends on your team and their performance, if your team suck than there's no hero in the entire game that gonna help because after all it's a 5 vs 5 game ( l am solo player )
Bro why is Luo yi not here she's so terrifying and annoying to go up against because of her ult and passive, follow that up with the shield she gets every time she hits someone with her first skill that she just becomes so hard to kill.
funfact: you get a 50% confidence boost if you use gojo skin on xavier

There are so many good novaria players nowadays it's kind of a pain in the butt. I just pick her asap to deny it to the opponent. As pos4 main, it's easy to recommend these for soloq: lylia, novaria, vex, faramis. They are really reliable, and most importantly it's very easy to stay alive when being targetted.
I excluded Faramis because I can't count how many times I rush in to save teammates with ult, but they literally can't wait to get out of it and die 🤣
Faramis is great, but yeah I exclusively use him when playing with my friends (and Vexana ain't available to pick).
Faramis is nerfed, once you get out of his ultimate circle, you can't be invincible anymore. And his ultimate is very small lol, easy to get out of it.
A good Novaria player is really pain in the butt
I didn't know that transform cc can stop Akai's ultimate and Knock-ups can't be reduced by resilience. So that's why Minotaur's still a high tier tank. I still learn new knowledge about the game despite having played it since release.

Vale can give vision with his second skill on bushes. Unlike Selena (first) skill or nana second skill, if you put his second skill even in the edge of a very large bush, it gives vision on the entire bush area.

Yeah, people didn't rate Nana back then. She's now in a good place 😎
You should consider luo yi also. Fast rotation with her ultimate, also the amount of cc she could make during team fight is annoying not to mention her insane damage
I'm surprised to not find Valir here.
Bro, that's a really cool video. I agree with your opinion. Hey, I've got a little personal question for you, if you don't mind. Can you answer? Do you get $1 per 1000 views in this niche or not? I mean from RUclips monetization. I've been thinking about making videos about Honor Of Kings myself. But I don't know if there's any monetization at all.
It's varies a whole from video to video, form 0.50-2
Id personally add kadita to the list as well as she has great burst potential, anti cc, knockup and escape skills
Can't wait for other roles, videos are coming right ..?
Yes, still working on those big videos!
I still prefer kagura though , great list as always
Kag is really lacking in wave clear this season unfortunately. She's my favourite hero of all time style wise, but she definitely needs some buffs to take her to the top!
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming true I agree, I prefer her to a fault for the same reason you do and I totally agree she most definitely need a buff badly .
I will always be a Kagura main. They did buff her umbrella dmg to non-champ targets, but I feel is lagging behind all the other midlaners. As well as I always feel I’m running out of mana compared to other characters.
@@Shepherdl_._l you are so right about the mana consumption I can't even mention how many times I recall just to refill mana mid important fights/ganks .
Underrated Zhask as usual but I got lots of savages from...
I still remember the good old days of mid Mathildaa🤧🤧
Those were some good days indeed... Unless she's on the enemy team 💀
Bro u putting vale and vexana in top instant like ❤
They r my fav mages along with Odette
My ranking:
1 vexana
2 vale
3 odette
😎😎
Lylia is fairly broken but mage with cc is certainly helpful
True
It's really hard to push in late game when there is Xavier player
That annoying moment when you're dancing and some random dude throw you up
Odette users will understand what I mean
😂
What about uodora and cyclops?
Eudora and Cyclops can work, but are highly situational and are mostly outshadowed by most other mages generally. Not saying they're bad, but more often than not, another pick is better.
novaria almost has the same playstyle as gord
clear lane in less than 2 seconds
rotate fire a flameshot but better
come back to mid
repeat
on mid to late game just be annoying and prevent 1v1s as there might be a risk of ally being 1v2+ and focus enemy mm and mage
Yes indeed 😄
I knew you loved Novaria.
KDA gaming 🤣
I am new to this game. I have 8 years of experience in Heroes of The Storm and now i am trying to get into MLBB.
However this game is sooo damn explosive and hard. Most of the time i dont understand what is going on and it is not uncommon for me to die in one second.
I was speaking with my father (also a casual player) about how Vexana was probably the worse mage in the game considering her ult was a dumb giant that move super slow, and hardly hits anything so this video is surprising to say the least
I will watch some more videos to see if i learn something
Cecilion and Faramis are probably better pick in solo queue than a lot of the mages mentioned here.
you should add their build
Thoughts on Gusion mid
what abt harith?
Solid in mid, but he's item dependent so if your team has a bad start, he can be worse many other mages due to his lack of utility skills. Mid also has one of the lowest farm if they're not able to get kills/assists early, which makes him trail behind even more from mid.
agreed but.. i think pharsa or valentina should be top 8 best mid laners
my opinion
Pharsa is good
Valentina is dead after nerfs
Im having the easiest time with Cecilion, Aurora and Vale this season.
Nice to hear 😀
I think that Oddete is controversial its either she is op in a match or a total weakling if the enemy has a hero with knockup effect she is doomed in the laning phase she is strong against the high ground Mages (pharsa, yve, Xavier, etc) but against the other meta Mages she is weak Kadita has petrify and second skill to counter her plus ulti immune towards Odette nana has her passive and she can use Molina to stop oddete, novaria and lylia out range and can her poke her with insane damage, faramis has good Mobility, poke and ulti against her and vexana her Guards Knock up plus she can poke and damage oddete and unlike the other Mages Odette needs specific tank for her Deadly combo to work so yeah she is an amazing mage but based on my experiment she is situational let me know what y'all think
Sure she can be countered by a solid Kadita or smart enemies with high level cc, but most other mages are also done in by those too. Her anti-dive capability is what puts her high in my list, as in solo-q I want to be self-reliant as possible.
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming what you say is true I played 5 ranked matches with her i lost the 4th game as the opponent mage was vexana and they had guin and Saber but apart from that I faced 2 pharsas a nana and a Luo Yi and as you said she was anti gank like the shield from her Ultimate also came in clutch many Times I also don't know why nobody uses Odette spellvamp like I used that and its op also can I know why pharsa isn't on the list
Damn bro is going places idk if u still remember me
Nico: Gord!?
(I wonder where he is these days)
Wondering the same too
@RubyRubyRubyGaming. Missing his quirky but informative videos, like the top heroes to use to rank up
Gord the most mage I use from lower rank until mythic very fun to play it's like playing a billiard or something lol
Joy, harith and gusion
Only Harith from this list
With gord, I was in the 4th position from my state and i have to say you can play with the character till legend but it's impossible beyond that... Assassin are the real nightmare for gord because of his mobility and even though skill one is for stunt but it's doesn't help much as fighter or an assassin will kill gord without any difficulty....
Which is why he's only 8th. If he had some anti-dive tools he would have been higher!
Ehh most of these mages are fine but I wouldn't put gord vale novaria there from a soloq standpoint, i don't like to go for more supportive/low damage mages with an unreliable team xd. Mages like lunox and ceci can pretty much single carry if they snowball enough but no matter how many kills these three heros get they can't carry deadweight sidelanes from my experience xd, totally agree with ur list if the teammates are reliable though, think faramis lunox and possibly chang'e couldve made it tho
Fair points 🙂
Revamp aurora is good as well
Nice video
Thanks 😄
Why is Chang e is not here?
Not top 8 in my opinion, but close for sure 🙂
What about Valir?
Valir is solid, especially into a lineup that doesn't have too many escape tools. Slow-locking those line-ups are devastating for sure. But Valir is still held back by bad wave clear and weak late game damage, which makes him very conditional to impact early-mid in order to win a game.
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming
I totally agree with that.
Sometimes I use assassin emblems to make his damage higher a little but Valir as you said suitable for team fights and stalking time for the team to come and get the kills
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming Valir user here.
His specialty is not damage, but skill spammer, assist (stunlock), defending turrets, stealing turtles, etc. Consider him as a 2nd roamer.
You can play aggresively tho in the late game if you are on the winning side.
Save his Ult to counter the unfavorable situation.
As for my build, I prefer these:
- Demon shoe & E. Talisman for spamming.
- Ice wand & Durance(or Glowing depends on your enemy)
- C.energy & Blood wings to amplify vamp & increase survivability. You should have full stack of vamp from Blood Fest at this time tho.
Emblem mage: agility, blood fest, ignition/focus mark.
Above is not mandatory, need adjustment based on your enemy & objective. But at least, this is what I use to push solo mythic.
With a good cc from Tigreal, Gatot, Mino, or Minst, I happen to almost wipe out enemy entire team. Just make sure you don't push the crowd away from the cc zone tho 😂
in solo cecilion is very good too he can survive with his ult and has strong damage output on his first
Bro can you do a video about not getting tilted in a game? I really need something like that because my anger's been on the rise because of my matches lately.
Sounds like a good suggestion! For now, maybe just take a short break from MLBB to get off the tilt. Maybe play something chill like fruit ninja can get your mind off things for abit :) Or you can watch stuff like MPL which are ongoing.
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming thank you for considering my suggestion. I'll probably play something else for a while haha 😅
I use zhask bro I just like spamming inspire his ult and nightmaric spawn 💀💀
All of these mages fear: Fredrinn 🗿
Finally something new haha
Hope you like it 😄
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming need exp lane heros now
Oh i just saw your video Also why are you gone for 2 monts? :w:
Basically... real life happened, and also was trying to grind to immortal solo-q, which took up a lot of time~
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming oh i forgot you do live im sometimes in there
Kill securing he said 💀💀😂
Novaria, as of the meta now, is only good when you also have good frontliners.
I like lunox , novaria and kadita🎉😮
What about luo yi
Crazy especially in non-solo games and against enemies that don't know what to do with her. Good shout for sure, but still below Top 8 for me overall in solo.
no zhask?
Watch the video 🤣
BRO Make a guide video on mid lane (mage).THOSE WHO WANT 👇
Vexana is very annoying and can prevent ebemy from recall to base went there is back door. I rarely use her since every single time i use her it alway a losing battle, talk about curse.i once reach 10 lose streak alone because of this curse.
I don't have much issue with vexana I'm using gord yeah
i always stick to one to my kadita i always like kadita because she has an anti cc skill she can enter easily to the enemy has a cc
Veil and God 🔥🔥
chang'e is good to, right?
Guys?
🌝
Aurora needs a buff 😭😭😭😭
she was nerfed too much and now she's pretty bad 😔
I don't think so. She is actually pretty decent. Her damage though feels like a little less, but in late game....I don't think I have to say something
shes super good wdym. her teamfight potential is CRAZY
My randoms cant aim her 2nd skill
IMO she's still good. Only problem is her early game is a little lacking as she's so item dependent
@@aahitagnidas8564 yeah she's still decent but definitely way worse than what she was on release; she's way too easy to kill as she can't defend herself at all from heroes that manage to get close to her
not to mention that there's not really a clear way to build her
you want to build a lot of magic power to increase the freeze duration of her ult but then you also want cooldown reduction cuz of the long cooldowns of her 2nd skill and ult but then you also want magic pen to be able to deal damage but then you prolly would want to build items like Ice Queen Wand and NoD to enhance her role as a CC mage but then you prolly want some def so you can survive assassin attacks and also because she has to get pretty close to enemies to make her skills land and because of all of that, I can't really find a good balance for all of them XD
Honestly, it doesn't really matter if you pick any of these heroes it depends on your team and their performance, if your team suck than there's no hero in the entire game that gonna help because after all it's a 5 vs 5 game ( l am solo player )
Damn i use none of them but Vale. Instead i use Valir and Cecillion which is broken Either in early or late game
The 2 mentioned are still solid in the right hands, so dw 😄
Bro why is Luo yi not here she's so terrifying and annoying to go up against because of her ult and passive, follow that up with the shield she gets every time she hits someone with her first skill that she just becomes so hard to kill.
kaita should be on there
Kadita solid for sure 🙂
Kaldirita is very slow on lane clearing
@@yorusuyasoul69420 agree w this, even w 1-2 skill combo, the minions still on 20% health. Not to mention, she is very mana hungry
Why no Chang‘e
