Best Marksman Heroes
Let’s take a look at some of the best marksman type heroes:
Loong
Loong is a ranged marksman that is usually played in the abyssal lane. Loong’s 1st active ability Infinite Vastness states that Loong will transform into a white dragon and fly across the skies for 4.5 seconds (may terminate early). This Marksman Hero becomes Immune (unattackable), but he also loses the ability to attack foes. Then, Loong will quickly deal Physical Damage and the Slow effect to foes.
This White Dragon Hero will inflict damage and a dread impact on foes for 1 second. The main weapon, the True Dragon Sword, will enhance Attack Speed for 10 seconds while also expanding AoE. At the same moment, the other two swords will strike two enemy targets. This skill causes an effect that pushes foes away from Loong.
Marco Polo
Marco Polo is a ranged marksman that is usually played in the abyssal lane. Marco Polo’s ultimate ability Fevered Barrage states that Marco Polo dashes in the given direction, appears at the specified position, and fires a barrage of bullets (bullets can activate the stat effects of a basic attack), doing physical damage. Marco’s attack speed influences the quantity of shots launched by the ability. When his attack speed reaches 0/75%/150%, he will fire 10/13/16 bullets.
Luban No.7
Luban No. 7 is a ranged marksman that is usually played in the abyssal lane. Luban No. 7’s ultimate ability Air Support states that Luban summons a pufferfish airship to provide aerial support in a certain direction for 14 seconds. The airship illuminates the area and dumps bombs every second on a random adversary within range. Bombs land in 0.65 seconds, causing 500/625/750 physical damage (+75% physical bonus) and slowing foes in the target area by 30% for 1 second.
Best Fighter Heroes

Augran
Augran is a ranged Fighter that can be played in the Clash Lane or Jungle. Augran’s ultimate ability Conductor of Souls states that Augran hovers and does Physical Damage and Knockback to adjacent opponents, gaining HP Regen when hit and summoning a Spirit. This Spirit immediately triggers Augran’s Passive, which increases Movement Speed and Attack Speed. When Augran lands, he enters Sheer mode and uses Basic Attacks to defeat adversaries with low health. This Fighter Hero additionally earns up to 100% HP regeneration for every opponent defeated.
Donghuang
Donghuang is a melee Support/Tank that can be played in the Clash Lane or Support. Donghuang’s ultimate ability Forsaken Contract states that Donghuang disables an opponent hero, forming a contract link between them that lasts 2.2 seconds.

Donghuang Taiyi receives three dark energy orbs immediately after casting the spell.

Kongming
Kongming is a ranged Mage that can be played in the Middle Lane or Jungle. Kongming’s ultimate ability Winning Strategy states that after some delay, Kongming fires a Vitality Shot at the targeted enemy, causing magic damage. Damage increases by 2% for every 1% of the target’s missing health. Hitting an enemy with Vitality Shot results in a strategy mark, which activates “Moment of Intrigue” and reduces its cooldown by 80% if it kills the target. If the target dies before the shot lands, the cooldown is lowered by 80%. If the shot collides with a non-hero adversary in flight, it causes equal damage and knocks them back for 0.5 seconds.
Angela

Angela’s ultimate ability Blazing Brilliance states that Angela directs a fiery beam in the desired direction, causing up to 12 hits of 150 (+21% Magical Attack) magical damage to any opponents in its path. Angela can change the direction of the beam while channelling. When Angela begins channelling, she gains immunity and the ability to neutralize 850 (+88% Magical Attack) damage. Using the skill again within 0.5 seconds ends the channelling.

If he stays invisible near an enemy for more than 3 seconds, the invisibility state is immediately revoked.
Lam
Lam is a melee Assassin that is usually played in the Jungle. Lam’s ultimate ability Death from Below states that Lam hurls a dagger, stunning foes in its path. The initial stage of the dagger causes a 90% slowdown for 0.5 seconds. After a brief delay, Lam will dash towards the dagger’s location, dragging foes in his path to the execution site and dealing 480 (+150% bonus physical attack) physical damage. When released in the submerged condition, the execution does not throw the dagger, instead activating the ensuing effects and returning half of skill 1’s cooldown duration.
Li Bai
Li Bai is a melee Assassin that is usually played in the Jungle. Li Bai’s ultimate ability Flickering Flurry states that Li Bai becomes one with his sword, slashing all enemies in the specified direction quickly for 5 times. Each slash causes physical damage; when attacking multiple enemies at the same time, each additional enemy hero will reduce the damage by 15%, down to a minimum of 70% of the initial damage.

Allies that use the refreshed skill within 5 seconds do not consume energy, and any kills are shared with Doria. Pact allies are prioritized for skill refresh, followed by non-pact allies.
