Yun Zhao is a son of the Great Dragon, sworn to roam from world to world assisting wise rules by the Dragon’s decree. Whenever a new king is in need of strength, Yun Zhao reverses space and time to remove all obstacles and enemies before the king using spear fighting techniques endowed upon him by the Great Dragon. This hero has some resemblance with League of Legends’ Xin Zhao with an ultimate of Master Yi. And as jungle main and fan of his mechanics I can ensure you that I can help you play Yun Zhao on this full potential.
Skills
Dragon Flurry – Every 6 seconds, the next basic attack will combo hit the target in front of him mulitple times, dealing a total of 2 times the basic physical attack. Hitting enemies with a basic attack will reduce cooldown time for this ability by 0.5 second. Passive.
Spear Flip – Lifts an enemy over his back, dealing 300 physical damage and lowering the target’s movement speed by 2. This slowing effect will gradually wear off within 10 seconds. Cooldown 8 seconds. 80 Mana cost.
Spear Strike – Charges the target, dealing 260 physical damage and lowering the target’s movement speed by 30% for 1 second. This will also immediately making a basic attack. Casting distance for this ability will increase the based on level. 10 seconds cooldown. 80 Mana cost.
Supreme Warrior – For 6 seconds, raises movement speed by 30%, attack speed by 45% and becomes immune from slow down effects. 30 seconds cooldown. 120 Mana cost.
Item Build
Tooth of Greed – +75 Physical Attack / 25% Lifesteal / Frenzy : When HP drops below 20%, the hero will receive an extra 10% physical lifesteal. Get this item for laning sustain that you will get from lifesteal. This will also gives you enough damage for your ultimate.
Swift Boots – 15% Attack Speed / 40 Movement speed. This must have item for all heroes in game. I prefer buying it as my second item since I found Yun Zhao with less mobility. So I can ensure that I can bully my laner and leave him helpless when I ultimate I have enough movement speed for my opponent.
BruteForce Breastplate – +770 HP / +40 Armor / Unique Passive : attacking an enemy will increase one’s capabilities, increasing movement speed by 2% and physical attack by 3%. This effect lasts 4 seconds and can stack up to 4 times.
Cursed Helmet – +920 HP / +50 Magic Resistance / Unique Passive : Sacrifice deals 2% of one’s max HP as magic damage per second to nearby enemies. As you can see I build up armor and magic resist from Bruteforce and cursed helmet. Yun Zhao has all damage from his kit but this damage can be nonsense if you can’t stand in teamfight longer. That is why I you need to invest on your armor and magic resist for late game. Just go first on item based on what you need. If the enemy team has physical damage based hero who are getting dominated, get Breastplate over Cursed Helmet otherwise build your magic resist first.
Demon’s Advent – +920 HP / +54 Armor / Deter : When an enemy hero attacks, this ability will reduce his/her attack power by 4%. This effect lasts 2x and can stack up to 3 times. This item is perfect for Yun Zhao because of offense and defense it can gives from base stats to unique passive.
Blade of Despair – +130 Physical Attack / +25% Attack Speed / +10% Critical Strike Chance / Despair : Deals an extra 15% damage to an enemy in any abnormal state such as stunned, knocked airborne, transformed, disabled. This item has everything you want from damage. The critical chance is perfect for late game build plus a decent plat damage and attack speed boost that works with Yun Zhao.
Strategy Guide
The number one rule of playing Yun Zhao, you must understand that you are not a tank in game. Even by means of building a full tank item on this hero, his abilities can’t give you enough defensive stats to stand most damage. A good Yun Zhao knows how to assassinate carry and cripple the enemy team. We build tank and this is for you to stand damage from carry. You need to be a threat against squishy heroes. YZ has gab closer and crowd control your target immobilized in team fight.
Zhao is one of the best duelist in game that can win against almost all heroes 1v1. Use this as your advantage especially in laning phase. That is why I suggest you to get lifesteal so you can harass your opponent really hard. If you are going to in, just go in and never have a second thoughts. The passive from Tooth of Greed will makes your opponent miscalculate a trade from you. So don’t runaway and die but stand until the end.
Make sure that you closer enough to your target before using an ultimate. You have only limited time with this boost and we can’t afford to waste any single second not to hit your opponent while you are in the state of Supreme Warrior.
