HOK Lady Sun Synergies
- Dreambuilder (Zhuang Zhou): Sun Shangxiang is a very agile marksman hero, but she can’t be agile if she’s controlled. Therefore, Zhuang Zhou is recommended as her partner. With the Purify ability, Sun Shangxiang won’t fear enemy crowd control skills in both solo and team fights, allowing her to deal massive damage with ease.
- Eclipse (Dong Huang Taiyi): Dong Huang Taiyi’s ultimate ability can control enemy heroes, making him an excellent choice against enemy diving heroes. His strong healing ability makes him a suitable tank. With Dong Huang Taiyi absorbing enemy fire in the front, Sun Shangxiang can safely deal damage from the back.

Team Fight Strategy

During team fights, Sun Shangxiang can use her ultimate ability first to quickly weaken enemies and enter a harvesting rhythm. However, she is fragile, and when enemy assassins dive in, make sure to save her first skill to create distance and deal damage, or she will be eliminated quickly.
