Zhou Yu couldn't find a way out by burning, three major pain points hindered his progress, and the expert bluntly said he was giving up: Speed Chapter

With three major drawbacks that cannot be ignored, how should Zhou Yu be redeemed? Should the strategy be adjusted, the stats modified, or should a complete redesign be planned? Whether it's the Chinese server or the international server, both servers are busy mixing overseas server heroes. Luya is a sign that other classes will inevitably be affected soon, such as Blade Girl. At that time, this old mage may not want to talk about status anymore, and may simply be forgotten!

Don't talk about zero hope. We need to retain the original gameplay while strengthening it. The direction is not complicated. As mentioned before, there are too many pre-cast animations, which means that Zhou Yu is defeated by speed, especially the speed of damage output. So why not try the fire zone acceleration? Standing in the fire arrows, in addition to providing healing, you can also double the burning speed, which makes it easier to farm jungle camps and develop buffs, and also provides some combat power for close combat.

Zhou Yu isn't an overpowered hero; the problem lies in his extremely low stats. The first few minutes are the peak of the game, but he becomes relegated to the sidelines in the late game. The only remaining solution is to grant him faster development and peak damage as quickly as possible. There's always a ceiling to his output, and as a ranged mage, he still has counter-controls. Compared to the healing from Firestorm, most players would prefer faster damage output. Consider Haino's recovery ability; healing stats don't necessarily need to be high, the most important thing is speed! A tank completing a combo within seconds—doesn't that make Zhou Yu look pathetic?
