Top Lane Builds

Mi Yue excels in the top lane with her excellent sustain capabilities. Here are our tested builds:

Semi-Tank Build

Blood Rage hok

When to use Semi-Tank Build: This is our most recommended top lane build for Mi Yue. It’s particularly effective when facing sustain-heavy tanks like Dun and Lian Po. The combination of Blazing Cape’s burn damage and your natural sustain allows you to win extended trades. Choose this build when your team already has enough damage dealers and you need to act as a frontline initiator.

Blood Rage hok

When to use Damage Build: Opt for this build when your team lacks damage output or when facing squishier top laners. The combination of Holy Grail and Golden Blade gives you enough damage to threaten carries while maintaining decent survivability through Breakthrough Robe and Blood Rage. This build is particularly effective when you’re ahead in lane and want to snowball your advantage.

Mid Lane Builds

In mid-lane, Mi Yue requires careful itemization to balance clear speed with survivability.

When to use Heavy Magic Damage Build: It’s particularly effective against squishy team compositions where you can utilize your gap closer to burst down priority targets. However, be aware that this build makes you relatively fragile, so positioning becomes crucial.

When to use Semi-Tank Build: This is our preferred mid-lane build against burst mages like Angela and Mi Lady. The extra survivability from Blazing Cape and Blood Rage allows you to survive their initial burst and counter-engage effectively. The build is particularly strong in mid-game skirmishes where you can utilize your sustained damage while being tanky enough to stay in extended fights.

Jungle Builds

Our jungle testing revealed Mi Yue’s strong potential against semi-tank compositions.

When to use Tank Build: This build turns Mi Yue into an excellent initiator and is particularly effective against physical damage-heavy compositions. It works best when your team already has reliable damage dealers in mid and ADC positions.

Honor of Kings Mi Yue Counters

Honor of Kings Mi Yue Counters

After extensive testing, we’ve identified several key counters to Mi Yue and strategies to handle them:

  1. Charlotte emerges as a strong counter in the late game, particularly in the top lane. Her damage, sustain, and mobility can overwhelm Mi Yue’s sustain.
  2. Global Ultimate Heroes like Nezha can effectively counter Mi Yue through map pressure. While not direct counters in terms of combat, Nezha can out-rotate her and impact other lanes.
  3. Early Game Junglers such as Wukong and Lam can punish Mi Yue’s weak early-game clear.

Remember to adapt your build based on team composition and enemy threats. Keep practicing, and you’ll soon be carrying games with this powerful mage fighter.

We’re continuously testing new builds and strategies, so stay tuned for updates as the meta evolves. Happy gaming!
