Yu Zhong, known for his ability to transform into a dragon and his exceptional sustain, is a formidable fighter in the EXP lane. His unique skill set allows him to excel in prolonged fights, sustain through damage, and disrupt enemy formations. Mastering Yu Zhong involves understanding his passive and skill combos, positioning in team fights, and managing his transformation effectively.
Early Game
In the early game, focus on farming and trading effectively with your lane opponent. Use Yu Zhong's skills to poke and sustain in lane. Be cautious of enemy ganks and use your mobility to escape dangerous situations. Aim to hit the enemy with the outer area of Dragon Tail for maximum damage and apply Sha Residue stacks with your abilities for sustained damage and healing.
Mid Game
As the game progresses, Yu Zhong should start to exert more pressure on the map. Look for opportunities to join team fights and skirmishes. Utilize Furious Dive for engaging or escaping and apply Sha Residue stacks to multiple enemies. Your goal is to disrupt the enemy backline and soak up damage. Use Black Dragon Form strategically to initiate fights or chase down fleeing enemies.
Late Game
In the late game, Yu Zhong's role is to be a frontline disruptor in team fights. Use your skills to apply constant pressure on enemy carries and utilize your sustain to stay in fights longer. Be mindful of your positioning and timing for transforming into the Black Dragon, as it can turn the tide of a battle. Focus on objectives like Lord and push with your team to secure victory.
Skill Combo
A typical Yu Zhong combo involves using Soul Grip to slow and damage enemies, followed by Dragon Tail for AoE damage. Use Furious Dive to engage or reposition in fights, applying Sha Residue stacks consistently. Transform into Black Dragon Form to initiate or chase down enemies, taking advantage of the increased range and control immunity.
Conclusion
In summary, playing Yu Zhong effectively requires a balance of aggression and caution. Farm efficiently, trade effectively in lane, and participate in team fights with your transformation ready. Use your sustain and tankiness to your advantage, and focus on disrupting enemy formations. With practice, Yu Zhong can dominate the EXP lane and be a significant threat in team fights.
