Kimmy vs Zetian: Ultimate 1v1 Matchup in Mobile Legends

In the vast universe of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, two powerful heroines Kimmy, the hybrid chemist, and Zetian, the Empress of Phoenix bring devastating magic damage and unique mechanics to the battlefield. This blog post explores who would prevail in a head-to-head duel using only base skill damage (no items), and then dives into item builds each hero should use to counter the other effectively.

Part 1: Skill Kit Overview

Kimmy – The Chemist's Fury

Passive – Aerial Dominance

  • Spray Gun deals 5 + 22% Total Physical Attack + 27% Total Magic Power as Magic Damage per hit.

Part 2: Base Damage Showdown – Kimmy vs Zetian (No Items)

Assumptions

  • Level 15 Heroes

  • No Items, so base stats only

  • Kimmy Magic Power: ~300

  • Zetian Magic Power: ~800

  • HP for both: ~3000

Kimmy's Full Combo Damage

Passive Attacks (Enhanced):
Let’s assume Kimmy gets 5 enhanced Basic Attacks:

  • Each: 10 + 32% MP = 10 + 96 = 106 per hit × 5 = 530

1st Skill – Anti-Grav Thruster:

  • 4 Bolts: 20 + 30% MP = 20 + 90 = 110 × 4 = 440

2nd Skill – Starlium Beam:

  • 300 + 60% MP = 300 + 180 = 480

Ultimate – Traction Pulse:

  • 200 + 72% MP = 200 + 216 = 416 + 20% current HP = 600

  • Total = 416 + 600 = 1,016

Kimmy Total Output:
= 530 (Basic) + 440 (1st) + 480 (2nd) + 1,016 (Ult) = 2,466 Magic Damage + 20% HP = ~3,066

Zetian's Full Combo Damage

1st Skill – Phoenix Strike:

  • 185 + 30% MP = 185 + 240 = 425 × 2 = 850

  • Third Wave: 330 + 120% MP = 330 + 960 = 1,290

2nd Skill – Phoenix Descent:

  • Initial: 150 + 45% = 150 + 360 = 510

  • Spirit Hits: 120 + 60% = 120 + 480 = 600

  • Final Burst: 150 + 45% = 510

Ultimate: 400 + 100% MP = 400 + 800 = 1,200

Zetian Total Output:
= 850 + 1,290 + 510 + 600 + 510 + 1,200 = 4,960 Magic Damage

Base Damage Winner: Zetian

Kimmy total: ~3,066
Zetian total: ~4,960
Winner: Zetian (more than 60% stronger burst)

Part 3: Best Magic Items for Zetian to Counter Kimmy

Kimmy is mobile, poke-based, and relies on sustained DPS. Zetian must:

  • Improve burst

  • Sustain through poke

  • Reduce cooldowns

Recommended Magic Items:

  1. Genius Wand – Shreds Kimmy’s defense (15 Magic PEN, scaling).

  2. Glowing Wand – Damages over time, ideal vs sustained targets.

  3. Holy Crystal – Boosts magic burst.

  4. Fleeting Time – Faster Ultimate (counter mobility + pull).

  5. Blood Wings – Shield + Magic Boost

  6. Ice Queen Wand – More slows to trap Kimmy.

Total Combo with Items: Can reach 7000+ burst in under 5 seconds.

Part 4: Best Magic Items for Kimmy to Counter Zetian

Zetian is a burst mage with limited escapes. Kimmy must:

  • Sustain damage

  • Maintain distance

  • Increase mobility and slows

Recommended Magic Items:

  1. Genius Wand – Shreds defense over time.

  2. Glowing Wand – Works well with Basic Attacks.

  3. Ice Queen Wand – Slows Zetian to kite better.

  4. Holy Crystal – Boosts beam and ultimate.

  5. Concentrated Energy – Lifesteal for sustain.

  6. Divine Glaive – For late-game tank shredding.

With this build, Kimmy gains sustain, slow, and piercing power against Zetian’s shield.

Conclusion

In a skill-only fight, Zetian dominates Kimmy due to her overwhelming AoE burst and CC. However, with proper itemization, Kimmy can kite and chip away, especially when equipped with slow, lifesteal, and poke-enhancing gear. This battle ultimately comes down to burst versus mobility.

Which side are you on, the Chemist or the Phoenix Empress?
