Towards the end of Season 43, solo queue supports advised against relying on teammates, and healers never tied to teammates: a guide to operational details.

Sang Qi initiated the team fight aggressively, entering the fray with a high degree of aggression. Utilizing his ability to maneuver through bushes, he attacked anyone he encountered, making for a very fierce start. He secured lane priority with the help of the mage and immediately secured the first kill – something even Cai Wenji couldn't achieve. He possesses a certain degree of flexibility, comparable to Shao Siyuan. Aggression is good, but remember to always have an escape route. His mobility relies on bushes; fighting in the river offers almost no advantage. His ultimate ability is crucial for escaping.

Team fights don't take place in the jungle, so the placement of ultimate abilities should be more conservative, using them for retreat. Some players prefer to pre-place them near enemies, leaping over to strike and control them, a one-way trip where retreat is difficult once the skills are used. Cai Wenji is generally considered a sustain champion, as her frequent healing consumes a lot of mana. Sang Qi doesn't have this concern. There are two build options: Guardian Angel with Boots of Resistance and Holy Grail for mana, or Shadow Blade with Arcane Boots. The second option is Shadow Blade with Arcane Boots, which lacks tenacity and is vulnerable to crowd control, but it's sufficient in the early game and deals high damage, killing two birds with one stone. It's sold later and replaced with Boots of Resistance.

Healing is one thing, protecting teammates is another. Frost Impact's purpose is to supplement crowd control. Save Dominator's Armor for the fourth item; only after buying Sage's Protection do you achieve true freedom. Supports have low economy and most won't last that long. In summary, for late-game healing supports in Season 43, if you're too lazy to think, look for Cai Wenji; if you want to add some damage, Sang Qi is more suitable.
