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 

Let’s take a look at some of the best fighter type 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. When one party to the contract suffers harm, the other will suffer equal damage. During the powerful Fallen God Contract, neither party can take any action or cleanse themselves. Donghuang Taiyi receives three dark energy orbs immediately after casting the spell.

Kaizer

Kaizer is a melee Fighter that can be played in the Clash Lane or Jungle. Kaizer’s ultimate ability Invincible Warrior states that Kaizer summons the Demon Armor, which causes 60 magic damage to adjacent opponents every 0.5 seconds for 8 seconds. At the same time, he increases his attack power by 100/150/200, movement speed by 50, and damage block by 70/100/130. The Demon Armor appears after a 1-second delay and deals 300 magic damage to adjacent opponents.

Best Mage Heroes 

Let’s take a look at some of the best mage type heroes:

Heino

Heino is a melee/ranged Mage that can be played in the Middle Lane or Clash Lane. Heino’s ultimate ability Fate Rewind states that Heino obtains damage reduction and crowd control immunity, regains health, but is unable to move. After 1.5 seconds, he deals magical damage before traveling back in time. The allied tower within range travels 5 seconds back in time. He recovers more health when his health level drops.

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 is a ranged Mage that is played in the Middle Lane. 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.

Best Assassin Heroes 

Let’s take a look at some of the best assassin type heroes:

Prince of Lanling

Prince of Lanling is a melee Assassin that is usually played in the Jungle. Prince of Lanling’s ultimate ability Secret Skill – Shadow states that The Lanling begins preparing and becomes invisible after 1.5 seconds, which lasts 30 seconds. After 5 seconds of being invisible, he obtains a 20% enhancement to his movement speed. After the invisibility state expires, the Lanling obtains a 50% attack speed boost for 5 seconds. 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. During this time period, Li Bai is invulnerable to all skills and attacks during the skill.

Best Support Heroes 

Let’s take a look at some of the best support type heroes:

Dolia

Dolia is a ranged Support that is usually played in the Roamer role. Dolia’s ultimate ability Celestial Melody states that after a brief chant, Dolia refreshes an ally’s longest current cooldown skill within range, taking 10/9/8 (+120% of the current skill cooldown) of the cooldown. If the ally does not use the refreshed skill, [Song of the Heavens’] cooldown recovery speed is increased by 20%. 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. If no allies are nearby, she refreshes her own skills. If the refresh fails, a considerable percentage of [Celestial Melody]’s cooldown will be reimbursed.

Da Qiao

Da Qiao is a ranged Support that is usually played in the Roamer role. Da Qiao’s ultimate ability Eye of the Whirlpool states that Da Qiao summons a big whirlpool at a chosen location dealing magic damage to the enemies hit, this circle will last for 8 seconds. All ally champions (including Da Qiao) can select the ability button and teleport to the circle. Allies within the whirlpool’s radius will have their attack speed increased by 40%.

Yaria

Yaria is a ranged Support that is usually played in the Roamer role. Yaria’s ultimate ability Verdant Protector states that Yaria possesses another hero, granting the possessed target a true shield which can absorb all types of damage. The possession state enhances Yao’s skills and immediately reduces their cooldown by 30%. If the shield is broken, Yao is knocked down and enters cooldown; actively detaching from the possessed target refunds 50% of the cooldown.
