Season 44 End-of-Season Climbing Recommendations: Nezha's Map-Wide Burn, Wu Zetian's Frenzied Chain Control: Top Lane Edition

Time ticks away, can you hear it? The timer has started, and Season S44 is officially coming to an end. The King's Chess rewards are plentiful: 1000 limited-time vouchers, 5 lucky draw tickets, and the limited-edition hero Gongsun Li. While you're engrossed in the missions, the King's Mark is urging you to unlock it, and you're gearing up to maintain your ranking on the national server leaderboard.

Season S45 has arrived, and no one expected time to fly by so quickly. The next version will be the 11th anniversary celebration. The event hasn't been officially announced yet, but leaks have already started appearing on Xiaohongshu, catching everyone off guard. Assuming you've already claimed the Chess rewards, it's time to return to ranked matches. The higher you climb, the lighter you fall. At least after the rank reset, you won't have to struggle in the chaotic Diamond rank matches. If you haven't reached your goal, perhaps you should refer to the recommended list. Choice is more important than effort. This was true at the beginning of the season, and it's still true at the end. Having a main character is a good thing. Out-of-the-box attributes are what will help you stand out and get high scores and double stars.

Confrontation Lane

Warriors dominate the jungle, even assassins have to take a backseat. This hero has been popular for multiple versions, and the top lane market continues to expand. Skin sales and hero playability are both increasing. With so many options available, which hero is the most recommended? Many would say Mi Yue, but the real answer is Nezha. He received a buff and a new look thanks to the collaboration with "Nezha: The Demon Child Conquers the Dragon King," which boosted his popularity. But he's definitely not just a pretty face. Nezha's teleportation mechanism is infamous, often criticized for "feeding kills from afar." After years of reforms, the landing location, vision, true damage burn, and flight effects are now separated, increasing his margin for error and attracting countless new players.

In the early game, you're not afraid of getting caught out. Your laning ability is average, so focus on split pushing and participate in team fights as a secondary option. Once you have some gold, use your ultimate to gank squishy targets more often in the mid-game. Many players habitually look at the minimap and only teleport when the enemy is low on health. Don't forget that skills have cooldowns, and locking onto a target doesn't mean targeting a fugitive. Marksmen are exactly the targets you should be targeting. In the late game, you become very tanky. Initiate team fights first, and if your teammates are focused, flank after hitting someone and easily clean up the backline.

A little trick is to wait until the enemy escapes, then try using the fourth skill with 4 seconds left on the countdown. The passive effect will burn the entire map, and you might be surprised by the result.
