I've climbed the top 3 seasons of the U.S. server challenge and here's a guide to ease the challenge
First, let's talk about the core hero and the squad revolves around it ( <ssr++ (12-17) )
Zhang He ( the leader of poison formation DOT)
Skill 1
With a rate nearly 96% fire a toxic arrow and inflicts 1 to 3 stack of poison,
Pros:
he can attack and quickly finish the back row
get stronger as the game lasts longer
easy to combine with every formation
Cons:
there must be a strong tanker for the game to last.
can't kill soldiers
a little rng cuz maybe only attack an enemy until death, causing a lack of damage.
Chen Gong (support cc)
Pros:
With his skills, he easily kills all soldiers and slows down attack speed of enemy, making it difficult for the tanker to be killed.
Cons:
The weakness is that it is impossible to put damage on a hero to finish off
Xu Shu ( support cc)
A cc support but different from ChenGong but when going with Chengong, it is an extremely strong support couple.
Pros:
His discomfort is to disconnect the opponent's skill (most noted Sun Shangxiang cant use talent skill)
The main purpose is to interrupt the continuous damage as well as to cause a dmg amount to the enemy troop.
Cons: like a ChenGong
Jia Xu ( dmg dealer)
One of the best hero combined with ZhangHe
Pros:
It can cause a tremendous amount of damage when the enemy has poison stack
Can revival
Cons:
It can cause damage to soldiers (without Zhange He or zhugeliang), making the amount of damage caused meaningless ( but It can be perfectly combined with ChengGong and XuShu)
Lu Su ( spreading debuff)
Pros:
Increase the amount of poison on the opponent quickly
Can keep one survivor
High dmg dealer and – def
Cons:
The luck based on the rest of Zhange
Diao Chan ( the hero make me unstoppable)
Pros
It can be combined with every champion with effective skills ( ZhangHe, Xiaodiao, MaYunlu, Xiahou Dun, ….)
Deal int dmg
Increases atk of all allied male
Cons
It’s a pay hero can only play during the season
ZhangFei ( the core of Shu)
Pros:
HighDmg
2Lives
Counter calvary
Buffdmg for shu
Cons:
Like a diaochan a pay hero
XiaoQiao(Chain debuff & dmg dealer)
Pros:
The skill of permanently surviving can understand that the amount of damage is infinite
Chain debuff can infinity stun ( have a vid at the bottom)
Cons:
small start damage
SunShangxiang (Deal aoe dmg and dmg done won’t reduce)
Pros:
AOE dmg dmg
Dmg done to heroes wont reduce
Cons:
Need time to setup skill
Can ez counter by silent stun ….
Many tanker can resist ( caoren wutugu)
ZhangYue ( core of yellow turban )
Pros:
very strong when you make enough of a team (ZhangBao Zhangliang Zhangjue)
Summoner
Cons:
Small damage skills and inability to finish
Ez counter by aoe dmg
DaQiao ( Pure Healer)
Pros
Heal multi target
Increases male dmg
Make a team tanky
Cons
Cant deal dmg
Xiahou Dun ( The Monster, core of heavy cavalry)
Pros
Strong CC
Make heavy cavalry tanky
2 Lives
Cons:
Pay hero, unit of season
About Tanker should be pick
CaoRen :the one of the best tanker, rng shield make him immortal
Wutugu: reflect dmg tough against str type
Menghuo:have a bear like a tanker hero but fear the aoe dmg like SunShangxiang, xiaoqiao
HuangGai: the best tanker can save your team counter the DOT formation, high def, high regen, supertanky
DianWei: can stack unlimited shield make him invincible but need a time
Zhoutai: Immortal in a period of 5 seconds but very easy to control by stun & silent
ZhangLiang: coordinate with ZZZ in the necro formation (yellowturban)
About Formation and how it work
DOT team:
Core:
zhanghe or ( jiaxu + chenggong + Xu Shu) or bot
When there is core, it is recommended to choose between the tank and dmg, the longer the odds of winning the higher
all tanker work well and the specifics stated above
It's best to have only 3-4 backlines
Alternatives:
Zhanghe – XiaoQiao ( but To XiaoQiao win Zhanghe we need Huanggai, if they have jiaxu for the next pick we should be pick xushu or another team)
ChengGong - XiaoQiao
XuShu - DaQiao
JiaXu – DiaoChan
Ban recommend: HuangZhong, Zhangfei, Daqiao, Taishici
Mage suggestion:
Xun Yu : recommend when we have 4 to 5 wei hero (4/5)
HuangYueYin: Used to overcome hero using talent skills (Sun Shangxiang, Wudie) (4/5)
GuoJa: The new mage but he is the best can deal high dmg, can CC , can tanky (5/5)
ZhouYu: When your formation have > 3-4 archer But the ability to survive significantly decreased (3/5)
ZhangBao: Create more soldiers, do damage and CC backline (4/5)
Archer Team:
Core:
Sunshangxiang, HuangZhong, BuLianShi, huangWudie, XiaoQiao, GanNing, Taishici
You need at least three or four archers
There is no need for too many tanker for this team what we need to win quickly but be careful because the enemy tanker like Caoren Zhoutai Wutugu can be the opposite
Prioty pick: XiaoQiao-> SunShangxiang->Bulianshi(-def enemy)->Taishici
Taishici can easily stand alone and the stroke of not lining the tanker in front of it reduces the power of Taishici
Mage: ZhouYu
Special Archer Xiahou Dun
special formation of archers when combined with XiahouDun and arrangement
Shu Team:
Core: ZhangFei
Line up Recommend : ZhangFei, Lubei, ZhaoYun,HuangWudie, ZhangXingCai, MaYunlu, MengHuo, Wutugu, XuShu
One of the strongest team with out ssr++
can quickly destroy the wall with a %hp damage
The front-row generals of Shu survive very well and can cause a large amount of damage
need to choose at least 1 hero have a blast dmg ( aoe dmg) like SunShangXiang to clear summoned soldiers ( guoja YellowTurnban)
Mage Recommend :
HuangYueYing (4/5)
XunYu (3/5)
Zhouyu if > 3-4 archer (4/5)
ZhangBao (3.5/5)
YellowTurban Team:
Core: ZhangJue, Zhangliang
don't need too much Yellowturnban because their stats and skills are so low that they're fragile
The more walls, the more time it takes to summon
And skill the dead of ZhangJue make the back row of the opponent can die easily.
Cons: Low HP hero
Mage: ZhangBao
Every squad needs to be balanced between top and bottom should consider to make the right choice for themselves, If the match has too many damage positions, you should choose the wall first
A few tricks:
Zhoutai can't be skilled when stunned (Mayunlu, CaoChong, Taishici…..)
SunJian skill making the enemy unable to move makes it very troublesome
XiaoQiao can chain stun infinity It's even more perfect if combined with lusu (I lost the video.)
Talk about the problem of not mentioning much about HuangZhong above it is an imbalanced person and it is very difficult when I am the first turn picker. this is a hero who should be banned from all risks because of his strength.
about ssr++(18) is only selected when appearing in a pair to balance the two sides but the strength difference is very clear and pre-selection is a huge advantage. ZhugeLiang is a powerful hero that is difficult to win unlike the rather weak Cao Cao when acting as a support.
