Mid-lane national server power rankings: Xiao Qiao officially promoted to high-end mage; Bian Que reworked but abandoned shortly after: a transformation chapter.

In high-level matches, Bian Que is no longer romanticized. The exhilarating feeling of his health hitting the kill threshold and igniting the entire field is unforgettable. In higher ranks, especially in the peak matches, players with superior awareness are not easily attacked by him. Moreover, without the passive stacks of his basic attack, this mage cannot be directly confronted. Against agile and dash-type characters, one still has to retreat and harass. It's really not as good as Zhen Ji's water ball bouncing and head-locking attack, which saves a lot of trouble.

After the arrival of the Elephantless Artifact in the Rift, many players blindly followed the trend. It's no wonder they were so easily fooled. The online hype was so convincing, and the system reminders convinced them that their heroes were a good fit, so they wanted to test it out. However, in subsequent battles, they felt that the damage was insufficient, and the high frequency of damage couldn't withstand the burst damage. This led to mages becoming mere tools, ranking low and lacking strategic priority in formations. Meanwhile, all the well-rounded options made it into the top ten.

Da Qiao: In the midst of a high-level game transition

Wu Zetian, ranked ninth, has become a queen of chain control thanks to the new equipment. Her national server combat power is catching up with other high-end mages. Although she has many pre- and post-cast animations, her cooldown is as long as 80 seconds. After a reduction of about 20 seconds, she has been reborn. Her ultimate skill does not need to be used cautiously. Observe the minimap, move your position, and ensure that you play the most effective role in team fights. Now she can occasionally use it to expose vision, steal dragons, and deal additional damage. After dying, she can use her ultimate skill as soon as she revives to check the enemy's movement before returning to the lane to farm. If it weren't for the limited exchange amount, she would not be appreciated as a niche character. With a big-name skin, her national server combat power would be even higher. Her value is equivalent to a Glory Crystal, which really makes people hesitate. Fortunately, the store has added Angela's Inverted Fairy Tale, and mid-lane players tend to prefer the latter.

A mage with teleportation skills, a comprehensive mechanic, has never been eliminated, and is not threatened by anything. Can you believe that Da Qiao has surpassed Nuwa's status? Playing a support in the mid lane might be unacceptable in casual games, but in advanced games where team composition is paramount, Da Qiao can summon a vortex gate for rapid team fight initiation. Her first and third skills can be used for combo control and poke, and her silence can interrupt skills. She doesn't require much gold, and if a core player is missing, she can contest resources. As long as the marksman is protected, the win rate is very high.
