Zhao Yun: Both heroes are durable and have high burst damage, mobility, crowd control, and lifesteal. Their short cooldowns make them a powerful duo. Together, they can easily take down opponents.

Yang Jian: Yang Jian can be played as a Jungler or Ukyo can fill that role. This classic top/jungle combo relies on their skill synergy to roam and Gank. High burst damage and crowd control make it hard for many heroes to counter, forcing enemies to sacrifice their economy to build anti-healing items.

Lady Sun: Her agility makes it difficult for Ukyo to land his crowd control, and she can harass him from range.

Frost: Her ultimate forces Ukyo to consider whether he can survive his engagement.

Monkey King: Monkey Kings Skill 01 can easily evade Ukyo Crowd control and Ultimate Skill.

Counter Tactics:

1. Dodge Ukyo’s 2nd skill by positioning properly;
2. When Ukyo uses his ultimate, be sure to move quickly to avoid taking damage;
3. Ganking Ukyo after he has used his 1st skill will have a higher success rate.

During the laning phase, use skills 1 and 2 for harassment. Skill 1 initiates, followed by skill 2 to stun the enemy, and then skill 3 as a combo. Skills 2 and 3 are most effective when used on controlled enemies.

Before a teamfight, Ukyo should carefully position himself on the flanks, waiting for the right moment to engage. Do not enter the fight immediately after it starts; instead, wait for the enemy to use their crowd control abilities. Then, use skill 1 to dive the enemy backline and focus on taking down high-priority targets.

As a pro gamer playing Ukyo, you need to devise a gameplay strategy that capitalizes on his strengths during early, mid, and late game phases. Here’s a suggested approach:

Early Game:

1. Focus on farming minions and gaining experience to level up your skills. Prioritize leveling up your 1st and 2nd skills for better harassment and damage output.
2. Harass your lane opponent using your 1st and 2nd skills. Engage with your 1st skill, then use your 2nd skill to stun them, followed by a quick auto-attack. Keep a safe distance and avoid overextending.
3. Coordinate with your jungler for ganks, using your crowd control abilities to secure kills or force enemies to retreat.
4. river and jungle entrances maintain vision and prevent enemy ganks.

Mid Game:

1. Start roaming and assisting your teammates in skirmishes. Look for opportunities to gank enemies, focusing on high-priority targets like squishy carries or out-of-position opponents.
2. Participate in securing objectives like Dragon, or towers. Use your mobility and crowd control to contest objectives or zone out enemies.
3. Establish vision control by placing wards in key areas and clearing enemy wards to create pick-off opportunities.
4. Continuously farm jungle camps and minion waves to maintain your gold and experience advantage.

Late Game:

1. Stick with your team and focus on controlling objectives, including Tempest Dragon. Remember to maintain vision control to spot enemy movements and avoid ambushes.
2. In teamfights, patiently wait for enemies to use their crowd control abilities before engaging. Position yourself to flank or dive the enemy backline and eliminate high-priority targets.
3. Utilize your crowd control and damage output to peel for your carries when necessary. Keep an eye on your team’s positioning and adjust your role accordingly.
4. After winning a teamfight, secure objectives like inhibitors, towers, or the enemy Tower to close out the game.

By following this strategy and adapting to the game’s flow, you can maximize Ukyo Tachibana’s potential and secure victories for your team.
