How do I kill a tanky Diao Chan with Murad? Can’t get close to her to shred her armor with Spear of Longinus, used my (totally not stolen) anti-tank build, too broke to get anti-tank arcanas, and the son-of-a-(bleep) is too damn persistent. HOW?!! PLEASE TELL ME HOW?!!
You want to use your dashes and i-frame from Another Dimension to juke her normal abilities when bursting her down with your ultimate if possible. Completely avoid her if she ults, unless you can quickly dash-dash-ult-retreat to do some damage before taking much in return.
But what if her “bodyguard’s” are in it too. I can’t use my dash without them finding my sand shadow in the brush, ultimate time’s out before I can position myself, damn teammates killing the mob near the mid lane, and stuns EVERYWHERE!
In that case, you should wait on your team before engaging so that they can draw Diao Chan’s allies’ attention.
Something’s wrong with her first ability. I’m playing in SEA, and the game states that the cooldown of her 1st is 5 seconds, same for all level.
You’re right! Not sure how that slipped through but it is fixed now.
