Hero Relations

Synergizes With

Yu Zhong works well with Mages that can initiate with CC such as Vexana and Xavier. Their control effects allow Yu Zhong to land his skills more easily.

Strong Against

Yu Zhong counters squishy Fighter heroes such as Aulus and Zilong, because they can't easily dodge Yu Zhong's skills and have a hard time with him in the early game.

Weak Against

Yu Zhong is countered by nimble Marksman heroes such as Lesley and Karrie, since it's hard for Yu Zhong to land his skills, making him a vulnerable and easy target.
