Chang'e: The Moon Palace Immortal - A Comprehensive Guide

Okay, here's a comprehensive MLBB guide for Chang'e, covering her ideal and secondary lane, multiple builds, emblems, talents, and counter itemization:

Overview:

Chang'e is a powerful burst mage specializing in long-range poke and sustained damage. She excels at clearing waves quickly, harassing enemies, and providing vision. Her ultimate, Meteor Shower, is a game-changer in team fights. She’s best played in Mid-lane due to her requirement of early game farming, but can also be played as Gold-lane when needed.

Primary Lane: Mid-Lane

Chang'e's natural habitat. She needs the farm and experience from the mid-lane to reach her full potential. She can quickly push lanes and roam to help other lanes.

Builds (Mid-Lane):

Build 1: Classic Burst (Easy to Use)

Purpose: High burst damage for quickly eliminating squishy targets and applying pressure.

Secondary Lane: Gold Lane (Less Ideal, but Viable)

Chang'e can be played in the Gold Lane, especially if your team needs a ranged damage dealer who can scale well into the late game. She's vulnerable early, so focus on farming safely.

  • Tier 3: Impure Rage (Deals damage with skills, gaining extra damage and mana regen).

Explanation: Glowing Wand gives sustained damage to pressure enemies in lane. Blood Wings gives late-game damage and survivability.

Counter Itemization:

Here's how to adapt your build depending on the enemy team composition:

• Against High Magic Resistance (e.g., Esmeralda, Uranus, Oracle):
  • Swap: Replace Blood Wings (or a less essential item) with Genius Wand (Magic Power, Movement Speed, Magic Defense Reduction) or a second Divine Glaive if they are stacking excessive magic resistance.
• Against High Burst Damage (e.g., Saber, Eudora, Gusion):
  • Swap: Replace Blood Wings or Divine Glaive with Winter Truncheon (Magic Power, Armor, HP, Active: Freeze yourself for 2 seconds). Use the active to avoid a fatal burst. Alternatively, Athena's Shield (HP, Magic Resist, CD reduction, Shield) is a strong defensive option.
• Against Heavy Crowd Control (e.g., Chou, Atlas, Khufra):
  • Prioritize positioning and team communication. Consider using Purify as a battle spell instead of Flicker. A defensive item like Tough Boots (+Magic Defense, reduces CC duration) early game can help.
• Against High Lifesteal/Spell Vamp (e.g., Yu Zhong, Alucard):
  • Consider: While Chang'e's damage is generally high enough to burst through sustain, having a teammate build Sea Halberd (Physical heroes) or Necklace of Durance (Magical heroes) will significantly reduce healing.

General Chang'e Tips:

• Positioning is Key: Stay behind your tanks and supports. Chang'e is vulnerable to assassins and divers.
• Use Enhanced Basic Attack Wisely: After using a skill, Chang'e's next basic attack deals extra magic damage. Use this to harass enemies in lane.
• Ultimate Timing: Don't just blindly use Meteor Shower. Use it when enemies are grouped up or when you have a clear shot at a priority target. Consider the enemy's CC abilities before ulting.
• Roam Effectively: After clearing your lane, roam to help other lanes or secure objectives.
• Vision is Important: Use your first skill, "Starmoon Shock," to scout bushes and check for enemy ambushes.
• Practice makes perfect: Learn to aim your skills effectively.
• Adapt your build: Don't be afraid to adjust your build based on the enemy team composition.
