This issue is about Haiyue, the new T0 Mage. Through case analysis, we will show how she can multi-functionally restrain her opponents. She should have been a potential stock, but unfortunately her popularity cannot compare with the four beauties in the canyon. The operation is simple, but not as rough as the three sisters in the grass, and she does not have the flying invincibility, punching and kicking of Shangguan Wan'er and Mai Shiranui. Fortunately, she was selected by a high-end god and achieved impressive data. She has been ranked T0 this season, proving her strength. Now let's check out how she can be used with various lineups.
To counter Zhong Kui's hook, consider giving up Haiyue for Zhenji
Let's start with our team's Sun Quan, Nezha, Mozi, and Athena. The support handles the crowd control, while the top laner initiates the fights. Relying on the development lane for damage is a bit unreliable. With both ends missing, all we need is a mid-lane mage to balance the team's shortcomings. Before choosing the best option, let's look at the enemy lineup. Against Charlotte, Marco Polo, Zhong Kui, and Yang Yuhuan, we're missing the fills. From this analysis, we can see that Zhong Kui is the biggest enemy. It's not a shame, but his hook is annoying and disrupts positioning. If he's hooked, he's almost certain to die. While he's not very powerful in the early game, the initiation in the mid-to-late game is crucial. Our primary task is to interrupt Zhong Kui's Star Absorbing spell, but since he's immune to crowd control during the cast, who's the best counter?
Initiation, control, output, Zhen Ji has it all
Haiyue is certainly an option. Her ultimate pulls players into a fantasy realm, but Zhong Kui won't go out to fight her alone. Furthermore, Yang Yuhuan's presence will definitely make her a super soldier, luring you into a move. Within the fantasy realm, she'll use her ultimate to grant immunity to healing and stuns, stalling you for time, ultimately wasting her skills. Our lineup needs to boost initiation, control, and damage, increasing its tolerance for errors. Zhen Ji is a perfect fit, with decent mid-to-late game performance. Her water balls can bounce and help you spread out. Perhaps, while Zhong Kui is standing still with his ultimate, you can throw a pool of water. Even if you're hooked, you can release a fountain of water at your feet to freeze you. With quick reactions, you can negate their area-of-effect attacks. The enemy lineup is almost entirely immune to control, and as a mid-lane mage, this aspect is crucial.
As expected, Zhen Ji, Nezha and Mozi cooperated with each other in taking the initiative and control, and individually took down the silver medal middle lane, gold medal confrontation lane and silver medal roaming lane.
