With their high status and down-to-earth gameplay, these Tier 0 warriors don't need to worry about the competitive environment. (II)

The description states that Xiang Yu is a warrior, and his gameplay must include output. He cannot simply tank damage mindlessly. He has the ability to stand and fight, but he cannot rely too much on his teammates to supplement the damage. In the end, he still relies on synchronized awareness. If he initiates a team fight alone, he is likely to get himself killed. Therefore, the Blade of Despair and the Shadow Axe are essential items for Xiang Yu.

Xiahou Dun

Whenever T0 warriors are mentioned, players often have reservations, preconceived notions, and assume that their skills are flashy and complex, like those of Ma Chao, Guan Yu, and Hua Mulan, with their combo mechanics, ability to pick up weapons, and switching between light and heavy swords – monsters requiring complex skills, making them seem unmanageable to an average player. However, the true strength of T0 warriors doesn't necessarily rely on dazzling combat techniques. Some are characterized by steady, tanky gameplay, relying on incredibly powerful healing to slowly whittle down squishy targets until their health is depleted. Even with tanky builds, they can still deliver a devastating blow to the enemy carry. This is the all-rounder Xiahou Dun. He easily gains an advantage in lane, regardless of the opponent's skill level, and has a chance to fight back. With his Flash ability, he can unleash a ground-pound crowd control attack at any time. Furthermore, his skill set includes mobility, immunity to crowd control, and healing. His versatility is unmatched, and his margin for error alone surpasses many other warriors.

Recommended builds and runes are the opposite of Xiang Yu's, prioritizing tankiness. His mechanics already provide some damage, so the rest relies on his tankiness. Due to the skill's animation delay, most of his damage comes from basic attacks. His damage output is too slow, and if he gets caught in too much crowd control, he might die before he can even land an auto-attack. His tankiness is also lower than Xiang Yu's. Currently, he has a 15% pick rate across all ranks with a 52.48% win rate. In high-rank games, his pick rate is 14.4% with a 50.09% win rate, which are above average. He's very effective in solo queue.

Cao Cao

After the update and upgrade, it's basically invincible. Not only in high-level games, but it's also a top-tier (T0) hero in ranked matches. The reason is that its output methods meet the requirements of the general public. It has mid-to-long-range output, is not easily kited, has built-in crowd control immunity and sustain, and its simple operation is a plus. It can withstand pressure, push lanes, and take down squishy targets. As a top lane hero, it meets the requirements. If you adapt well to the combo rhythm and master the damage judgment, you can be guaranteed to be foolproof.

The equipment and runes are not complicated, following the lead of top Chinese players. Buy boots with cooldown reduction, then build Shadow Axe, Iceborn Gauntlet, Pure Sky, Endless Battle, and Bloodthirster.
