How to beat Zaahen

Common role: Top

An unsundered darkin who stacks determination and refuses to die.

What makes Zaahen dangerous

Zaahen stacks Determination with every hit on champions — fully stacked, he gains bonus AD and can REVIVE. His glaive slashes heal him, a recast knocks up, he stabs-and-PULLS with W, dashes with a spin (E), and his ultimate slams down with heavy damage and healing.

How to play against Zaahen

• 1Watch the Determination bar: at full stacks disengage — fighting into the revive is a trap.
• 2Grievous Wounds cuts his triple heal (Q, R, revive value).
• 3Short trades: extended brawls feed his stacks and sustain.
• 4Kite the W pull line — it's his only ranged threat.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Grievous Wounds guts the sustain identity.
• ✓Stack-dependent: poke without feeding melee hits.
• ✓The revive is readable — save burst for AFTER it.
• ✓No ranged presence: kiting starves him.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Zaahen's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  不落之志

  亚恒对敌方英雄打出的攻击和技能会为他提供【果决】层数，每层获得额外攻击力。当叠满【果决】时，亚恒获得攻击力提升并且能够复活。

  Strong: hits on champions stack Determination — full bar grants AD and a REVIVE. Weak: the bar is visible — disengage before he fills it.

• Q
  暗裔长刀

  亚恒的下一次攻击进行两次斩击，造成额外伤害并治疗他自身。亚恒可以再次施放这个技能来让他的下一次攻击造成额外伤害并击飞他的目标。

  Strong: twin healing slashes; the recast knocks up. Weak: Grievous cuts the heal; the knock-up recast telegraphs.

• W
  厄影回锋

  亚恒对一个方向进行戳刺，对命中的敌人们造成伤害，然后将他们拉拽向他。

  Strong: a stab that PULLS you into his melee world. Weak: a narrow line — strafe it and keep the kite.

• E
  赤金突袭

  亚恒冲刺至一个位置然后切击他的周围。

  Strong: a dash-slice for gap-closing and weaving. Weak: modest range — his only true mobility; count its cooldown.

• R
  大赦

  亚恒升空然后向下戳刺，对敌人造成伤害并治疗自身相当于一部分该造成伤害值的生命值。

  Strong: a rising slam with heavy damage and self-healing. Weak: the leap telegraphs the landing — sidestep and anti-heal the payoff.

Itemization

Grievous always, short trades only, and hold your execute until the revive is spent.
