Wuyan Best Partners

Yujin: Yujin’s passive has a slowing effect, and her Skill 2 can somewhat protect herself early on. Her passive slow combined with Zhong Wuyan’s petrification can effectively suppress enemy solo laners. Even if caught, Zhong Wuyan’s Skill 1 can protect Yujin well.
Marco Polo: Marco’s bullets have a sticking effect, and his Skill 2 can move him and somewhat protect himself. With Zhong Wuyan petrifying enemies, Marco can output damage. In team fights, Zhong Wuyan initiates with her ult, and Marco follows up, making a strong control and output combination.

Wuyan Counter

Xiang Yu can push her away during her ult, limiting her output and control over allies. The agility of Diaochan makes it difficult for Zhong Wuyan’s skills to hit her.

Squishy heroes should maintain a safe distance to prevent her from getting close and outputting damage. Being controlled or petrified makes it easy to be killed; 2. In team fights, avoid clustering too closely, as Zhong Wuyan’s ult can have high output and control effects.

Battle Tips and Team Fight Strategy

Use Skill 1 to close in, and Skill 2 for crowd control. Zhong Wuyan primarily uses her ult for damage output, with continuous AOE damage combined with petrification passive effects.

During team fights, as a warrior, Zhong Wuyan should dive into the densest part of the battle, use mobility to get close, and activate her ult amidst the crowd, combined with her passive for control, trying to control as many enemies as possible, creating output opportunities for allied heroes.
