Zhuangzi Best Partners
Shiranui Mai: As a mage assassin, Shiranui Mai often needs to dive into the enemy’s backline, but her fragility makes her vulnerable to control and burst damage. Dreambuilders’s damage reduction and control immunity greatly improve her safety, allowing her to easily engage in team fights and deal explosive damage.
Huang Zhong: Dreambuilder provides a favorable environment for Huang Zhong’s damage output. In high-level matches, Dreambuilder’s damage reduction and control immunity prevent Huang Zhong from being quickly killed. When enemies try to dive in, they will enter both Huang Zhong and Dreambuilder’s attack range, taking damage from both without being able to kill Huang Zhong.
Tactics:
Use the first and second skills to keep enemies at bay or cover allies’ retreat. Try to stay close to damage-dealing heroes and use your ultimate to protect them when enemies dive in.
Zhuangzi Counters
Zhuang Zhou is weak against solo assassins with high damage output. Dreambuilder should be cautious of Diao Chan’s true damage and chase when he is low on health.
Tactics:
- Try to bait out Dreambuilder’s ultimate before engaging in a team fight.
- He is weak in solo combat, so try to catch him alone.
- As He is a tank, try not to waste damage and control skills on him.
Zhuangzi Team Fight Strategy
During team fights, Dreambuilder should stay close to his team’s damage dealers, ready to protect them while they deal damage and retreat. Pay attention to your allies’ positioning and the enemies’ dive attempts. Use your abilities strategically to ensure your team’s damage dealers can safely output their damage without being controlled or killed.
When initiating a team fight, look for opportunities to use your Butterfly Transformation skill to engage and slow down enemies, making it easier for your team to follow up with their abilities. Simultaneously, keep an eye on the status of your allies, especially the damage dealers, and use Unity of Heaven and Man when they are at risk of being controlled or killed.
As Dream builder, your primary role is to provide protection and support for your team. Make sure you’re coordinating with your teammates, communicating when your abilities are off cooldown, and when you’re ready to engage or disengage. This will help your team make the most of your protective and control abilities, increasing the chances of winning team fights and ultimately the game.
