Are newbie favorites too good to be true? KPL players refresh players' understanding with detailed operation details.

The KPL competition is in full swing, while in pub-based games, players are striving to climb the ranks, aiming to reach the highest tier of Champions before the end of Season 40, snatch the Mark, and secure their spot in next year's annual skin. With time running out, many are switching strategies, seeking out meta-boosting or blacksmithing, entering the ranking password, and rapidly racking up gold medals, double stars, and even three stars, aiming for their ideal rank.

Xiao Qiao is often labeled "Newbie Exclusive"

Then, novice heroes are out of the question. Seeing AG Super Play Club's six consecutive championships might change your perception. Among them, one mage, Xiao Qiao, is particularly noteworthy. Summoners often perceive Xiao Qiao as simple and easy to use, a favorite among new players, but immediately abandon her for more flexible and maneuverable options like Shangguan Wan'er and Mai Shiranui in high-level games. Xiao Qiao's combo is monotonous, and her routines are often well-understood, making countermeasures easy. Take her ultimate, Meteor Shower, for example. It's her most effective entry method, providing a movement speed bonus, allowing her to maneuver and evade attacks while also closing distance quickly and increasing the accuracy of her first and second skills. How can you counter this? Use a Brilliant Moon to enter an invincible state.

Most players have a stereotype about her, that she is not up to the standard. If you dare to use her in high-end games, you will lose 90% of the time before the battle. The reason is not that you cannot beat her or that you play her badly, but that your teammates look down on you. When they see their teammates choose a "novice hero", they naturally think that the other party's skills are not good enough, and they become discouraged and play the game casually.

In the KPL season, Xiao Qiao's appearance rate was 11%.

However, KPL players played her to the finals. You have to know that heroes who reach this level are not ordinary people. In the past few summer seasons, Xiao Qiao appeared 62 times, with an appearance rate of 11% and a win rate of more than 53%. The data proves that she is definitely not the weak mage that people say. There is nothing about her that shows that Xiao Qiao has a low upper limit.

On the other hand, the mages preferred by high-end games, such as Shen Mengxi, have an appearance rate of 30.4%. The second is Mai Shiranui, with an appearance rate of 20.5%. Xiao Qiao's appearance rate is 11%. When compared together, they are definitely not inferior.
