With their high status and down-to-earth gameplay, these T0 warriors don't need to worry about the competitive environment.

Looking at too much data from the King of Glory app is truly frustrating. You can't find your own main pick in most of them. If you want to climb the ranks smoothly, you have to abandon your old strategies and switch to some meta picks, especially at the beginning or end of the season. Often, T0 picks are all in the top-tier matches, where there are many skilled players, fierce competition, and a fast pace. If you can't keep up, you'll fall behind economically and get into trouble. Strong teamwork is essential; individualism isn't allowed. The sheer difficulty of the controls discourages many players. So how can casual players possibly play well?

There are always exceptions. Some high-strength warriors have a very down-to-earth playstyle. They don't need to consider the competitive environment at all. Their teammates may not be strong, but at least they have attribute guarantees. They are like gods descending to earth, extraordinary. Take them to the battlefield and they will be invincible. Can you guess which one it is?

Xiang Yu

Xiang Yu is positioned as a budget-friendly character, as evidenced by his skin sales. He rarely gets high-tier skins released, mostly offering free or basic skins. He's often disliked in high-level matches, relegated to T4 due to his short-lived advantage. After a few challenges, he gradually faded into obscurity. However, upon returning to ranked matches, he becomes a top-tier T0 character. His ultimate's invulnerability and the stability of his first skill's control have addressed his weaknesses, transforming him into a threat. While skilled players often nerf him, casual players can utilize him effectively, resulting in impressive stats: a 15.4% pick rate and 51.69% win rate across all skill levels; and a 22.6% pick rate and 50.40% win rate in high-star matches, making him viable in both categories.

Warrior's strategy comes first

As for the recommended builds and runes that everyone is concerned about, the gameplay should remain pure tank. Even if you play support, buy resistance boots first and use Thornmail to increase your tankiness. In the mid-game, consider switching to cooldown reduction boots to increase the frequency of skill casting. Then add Iceborn Gauntlet, which is his core item. If you want to ensure the hit rate of your ultimate, then purchase Frost Impact.

In casual games, he plays the role of a warrior, not just someone who takes damage. He also needs to deal significant damage. At the right moment, he can push away squishy targets and unleash a combo to kill them instantly. Of course, to increase damage, Shadow Axe and Blade of Despair are essential. If he feels a bit squishy, he can sell them and replace them with Bloodthirster.
