Every other assassin gains a passive that either sustains them greatly throughout the game (Thanatos), gives them utility (Fenrir, who was a warrior) or buffs their damage (everyone else). While Ne Zha's passive is really good for the early jungling and lets him use death's toll instead of bumba, it quickly falls off, making it the worst passive in the game.and the absolute worst assassin passive. Even at that point, anyone with a dash will likely catch Ne Zha. The best case for Ne Zha would be running from 2 people exactly, because the slow on each of them will refresh a few times, making it 2-2.5 seconds and the speed will be increasing to 40% for 1-1.5 sec then last for 2 seconds (around 3 sec of good speed). Some of the other speed buffs on auto attackers in the game:Īll of this means that Ne Zha is screwed when running from any jungler, except Freya in 1v1. The only other jungler that has no dash/leap in their kit is Thanatos, who has the speed buff for 6 seconds. Not only that, but the speed buff that Ne Zha gets from his 1, which is supposed to help him escape is laughable in duration of 2s, with 1s slow, and only 5% if it hits 1 target (40% with 8 hits). It means death even in the mid game, where other junglers can simply leap/dash away to safety. Not having a leap is only a problem because of the Odin meta, but lacking a decent escape is a HUGE problem for assassins. Not only that, but the distance created by the ult is about as much as Mercury's dash on his 3, or any leap from other junglers. Mercury is the only other actual assassin in that list, by the way. He is one of the 4 junglers that cannot leap over walls (Freya, Nemesis and Mercury being the other 3). Ne Zha has the worst escape of any jungler, and it is in his Ult.

Perfect set up for high damage ults like Scylla's or Poseidon's However, Ne Zha lacks in many ways that other Assassins do not, which makes him very difficult to play in higher ranked games.Ĭan start with death's toll because of passive I think that Ne Zha is very strong, being one of the few junglers that can start with death's toll, and having really good clear and potent ganks.

These are my suggestions to change that, and make Ne Zha a viable pick in competitive play.įirst, let me tell you that I am rank 10 with Ne Zha, and I have the required (unless you like little boys dressed as little girls) Cyberpunk skin on him. With your cooldowns you are able to use your ultimate almost twice in a good team fight.TL DR: I think Ne Zha is a great jungler with awesome clear speed and potent ganks, but he is lackluster compared to other junglers, while having 2 of the most difficult line skill shots (used to be 3), out of maybe 10 that are the same width and only Neith's spirit arrow having pre cast delay. This will help make your teams life's easier, and make the end game a 4v5 for the enemy team. Late game you will be using your ult to remove the problem carry from the game. If you have someone like a Scylla for example who is able to put a crush down for the kill secure will make the game very easy to win. Having good follow up off of every ult is key to winning with Ne Zha support. This is when the comment I made earlier comes into play. Moving into the mid game you will be looking to burn enemy actives, and getting easy kills. using your sash, and ring bounce early game will help you find tons of kill potential. catching the enemy duo out and getting a good ring bounce will leave them buring their pots.

Early game Ne Zha has a ton of kill potential with his ring as it bounces into enemies dealing decent damage.

Ne Zha is a very fun god to play in support, however you are going to need a team that can follow up off of our set up for it to be really effective.
