- ✅ However, she is not at her best and is very dependent on the player's skill (one-trick).
- ✅ Easier to carry games with Angela than with Shangguan Wan'er at the normal level of gameplay.
10:28 - 10:56
25. 🧙 Tier List: Xi Shi - Great Choice (High Elos)

10:57 - 11:25
26. 🧙 Tier List: Sima Yi - Bad Choice (One-Trick)
- ❌ Sima Yi is a bad choice, working only in the hands of a one-trick.

- ✅ She has had better moments in the mid.
12:35 - 13:18
30. 🧙 Tier List: Daji - Good Choice (Control)
- ✅ Daji is a good choice, a hero that can be even more annoying.
- ✅ Easy to play, controls the fight a lot, but in relation to protagonism, you leave a lot for your team.
- ✅ I like to recommend Daji also in higher elos when you need this control mage, but then usually higher elos you will want Lady Zen, man, because she is much more useful for the team.
13:19 - 13:31
31. 🧙 Tier List: Fire Mage - Bad Choice
- ❌ Fire Mage is a bad choice, but is better than Mozi.

13:32 - 14:04
32. 🧙 Tier List: Zhou Yu - Good Choice
- ✅ Zhou Yu is a good choice.
- ✅ I like to use it in higher elos.
- ✅ I think it's a well-recommended hero in high elos, but even so in high elos you have other more impactful choices.
