Who are the true late-game heroes? Nuwa isn't on the list, and the King of Glory community has its opinions: (Development Lane Edition)

It sounds exaggerated, but Diao Chan can indeed perform infinite dashes in the late game, greatly reducing her downtime. She can easily dodge magic orbs, bullets, divine energy, obstacles, and all sorts of difficult controls, and remove them with a single click, only to turn around and bite you back.

Her brief dash grants her invulnerability, making her untargetable. Unlike Wang Zhaojun's freeze, which is predictable and requires precise timing and animation, Diao Chan's counter-attack capabilities are undeniable. You might say her damage is low, but she can help teammates absorb skills and relieve pressure—something other mages can't do. Diao Chan is hailed as a rising star because of her tankiness, damage output, and high margin for error. She won't be easily defeated, and the idea of a 1v5 is easily dismissed. Build more tank items, and the Rift will be yours.

Baili Shouyue: Sniper Rifle Modification

Data has proven that Diao Chan is the strongest hero in the late game, which overturns conventional wisdom. Now, with Baili Shouyue added to the list, how credible is this? The general understanding of marksmen is very simple: burst damage, arguing over resources, annoying others by stealing minion waves, stealing jungle monsters and picking fights with assassins—all because they desperately need to build critical strike items. Hou Yi, Luban No. 7, Marco Polo, Huang Zhong, etc.—aside from Agudo, it's really hard to find a marksman who isn't strong in the late game. So what does it mean that the King of Glory platform has chosen Baili Shouyue?

Baili Shouyue is truly a late-game hero. He's weak in the first ten minutes. After the update, his sniping ability is just for show, too weak. The golden age of one-shot kills is over. Now, he mainly uses basic attacks and skills as secondary. His second and third skills share bullets, and he can do two backflips. It's better than standing still and aiming for ages only to hit your backline. In less than a second, the enemy gets a lifesteal item and has to rely on minions to recover.

Later on, the situation changes. With the addition of three skills, the ability to kite is extremely strong, and the basic attacks are more painful than those of ordinary marksmen. Once the attack speed is fully stacked, the sniper rifle in hand can be immediately transformed into a machine gun. The second point is the vision device, which allows for flanking maneuvers, river crossings, and bushes. No enemy can hide from it. Without relying on movement to protect themselves, vision is the most important key to survival. Therefore, its strength in the late game is not without reason.
