SKILLS
This is the list of skills of Dolia.
Passive
Mermaid’s Gift
Cooldown: 0s, Cost: 0
Diaochan’s skills apply a Mermaid’s Gift to enemies, lasting 8 seconds. When the gift stacks up to 4 layers, it triggers, healing Diaochan for 130–260 (+1.5% of additional health). It also deals 180 (+43% Magic Power) true damage to nearby enemies and reduces their movement speed by 50% for 1 second.
Tips: Every time Diaochan uses another skill, the Mermaid’s Gift explosion will deal area damage and slow enemies. This explosion damage ignores the enemy’s armor and is true damage.
Skill 01
Ode
Cooldown: 5s, Cost: 40
Diaochan throws a blossom ball in the specified direction. After a while, the ball returns to Diaochan. Both the throw and return deal 180/220/260/300/340/380 (+57% Magic Power) magic damage to enemies along its path.
Tips: This skill deals damage twice in a straight line. Due to its delay, you need to predict the enemy’s movement to cast it effectively.
Skill 02
Wavebreaker
Cooldown: 10s, Cost: 45
Diaochan instantly disappears and reappears at a specified location, releasing 3 blossom balls to attack nearby enemies. Each ball deals 140/155/170/185/200/215 (+28% Magic Power) magic damage. If the blossom balls hit an enemy, it will reduce the cooldown of Wavebreaker by 4 seconds.
Tips: This skill allows Diaochan to reposition and deal 3 instances of damage to the nearest enemy. If all 3 hits are on the same enemy, the passive slow effect will trigger. It can also be used to escape through walls, but use it cautiously without the ultimate.
Ultimate
Celestial Melody
Cooldown: 40/35/30s, Cost: 80
Diaochan blooms in an area, forming a magical array. The array deals 210/245/280 (+50% Magic Power) magic damage when it appears and disappears. While Diaochan is within the array’s range, Ode and Wavebreaker receive additional cooldown reduction.
Tips: This ultimate is a powerful AOE skill. Although the damage is average, it triggers the passive effect over a large area, making Diaochan’s other skills deal more damage and reducing their cooldown.

Dolia Best Partners
- Haino: Can refresh Haino’s Skill 1, enabling a hidden ultimate skill at max level.
- Lu Bu: Refreshing Lu Bu’s ultimate can significantly enhance his team-fighting ability.
- Zhao Yun: Similar to Dharma, Zhao Yun is a semi-tank warrior with control abilities and self-healing, also possessing dash skills. The combination of Dharma and Zhao Yun can highly increase the success rate of capturing enemies. Their combo involves Dharma using Skill 1 to initiate and Zhao Yun using his ultimate for additional control, followed by strategic placement and simultaneous skill use for armor reduction and high physical damage.
- Li Bai: If Dharma initiates with Skill 1, Li Bai can follow up with a stun, providing Dharma ample time to position for his ultimate. When Dharma’s ultimate stuns the enemy team, Li Bai can follow up with armor reduction, making it easier for both to execute their ultimate abilities and secure kills.
Dolia Counter and Tips
- Dolia struggles against heroes with multiple dashes, and her magic damage is countered by Sima Yi.
- Dolia has difficulty protecting teammates against Guiguzi’s group dash compositions.
- Xiang Yu can immediately push an entering Dharma away, protecting the backline.
- Diao Chan can effectively kite Dharma while avoiding his abilities.
Use positioning to avoid Dharma’s Skill 1 control; Fragile heroes need to be careful of positioning to prevent Dharma’s dive; Try to adjust positioning to avoid being knocked into terrain edges by Dharma.
Team Fight Strategy
During team fights, Dharma should look for opportunities to dive into the enemy backline for kills, or find a chance to flank and knock the enemy’s main damage dealers towards his team for quick elimination.
