In the vast arena of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, magical heroes are often the most dynamic and high-risk, high-reward characters. Two such mages, Luo Yi and Zetian, bring to the battlefield not only unique control mechanics but devastating AOE potential. This in-depth blog will examine the raw, itemless battle potential of both heroes and explore how magic items from the current MLBB pool can swing the battle in favor of one or the other.
Section 1: Raw Power – Luo Yi vs Zetian (No Items)
To begin our comparison, we calculate the base damage potential of both heroes without items. The goal: simulate a clash assuming both are at level 15 with maxed skills.
Luo Yi Base Damage Analysis
Passive – Duality:
Yin-Yang Reaction Damage = 365 + (20 * 15) + (190% Magic Power)
Total Magic Power without items = 0
Base Reaction Damage = 365 + 300 = 665 Magic Damage
Each Reaction also grants a 300 + (10 * 15) = 450 Shield (150% Magic Power excluded)
Skill 1 – Dispersion:
210 + 135% Magic Power = 210 base Magic Damage per cast
With 4 charges: 210 * 4 = 840 Magic Damage
Skill 2 – Rotation:
Initial hit: 250 Magic Damage
Sustained: 50 Magic Damage every 0.7s for 6s = ~8.5 hits
50 * 8 = 400 sustained Magic Damage
Total for 1 use: 650 Magic Damage
Combos:
Dispersion + Rotation can trigger multiple Yin-Yang Reactions
Let’s assume 3 reactions = 665 * 3 = 1,995 Magic Damage
Total Base Damage Potential:
Dispersion (840) + Rotation (650) + Reactions (1,995) = 3,485 Magic Damage in full rotation
Zetian Base Damage Analysis
Skill 1 – Celestial Barrage:
Each barrage: 6 shots at 80 + 40% Magic Power = 80 x 6 = 480 base Magic Damage
Can hit 2 times in rotation = 960 Magic Damage
Skill 2 – Guiding Radiance:
250 base Magic Damage + 60% Magic Power
DOT (3s) = 40 x 6 = 240
Total: 490 Magic Damage
Ultimate – Divine Judgement:
620 + 180% Magic Power = 620 base Magic Damage
Total Base Damage Potential:
Celestial Barrage (960) + Guiding Radiance (490) + Ultimate (620) = 2,070 Magic Damage
Winner Without Items: Luo Yi
Luo Yi Total Damage: ~3,485
Zetian Total Damage: ~2,070
Luo Yi edges out Zetian through the multiplicative nature of Yin-Yang reactions and constant Sigil-triggered AoE control. While Zetian is burst-focused, Luo Yi's synergy with crowd control and stacking shields grants her both survivability and damage superiority.

Section 2: Best Magic Items Zetian Should Use to Counter Luo Yi
If Zetian is to defeat Luo Yi, she needs to:
Survive longer against CC
Burst quicker before Yin-Yang reactions accumulate
Recommended Magic Items for Zetian:
Blood Wings
Shield + Movement Speed + High Magic Power
Survivability to outlast Luo Yi's damage ticks
Genius Wand
Magic Defense shred (especially helpful against Luo Yi's shield stack)
Divine Glaive
Raw Magic Penetration to bypass shield and defense
Lightning Truncheon
Burst potential with multi-target hits
Enchanted Talisman
Sustain and cooldown to spam Skills 1 and 2
Winter Crown
Emergency immunity to survive one full reaction chain
Computation with Item Effects:
Zetian gains approx 600-700 Magic Power
Celestial Barrage = 80 + (40% of 700) * 6 = 80 + 280 = 360 * 6 = 2,160
Guiding Radiance = 250 + 60% of 700 = 670 + DOT (40*6) = 910
Ultimate = 620 + 180% of 700 = 620 + 1260 = 1,880
Total = 4,950 Magic Damage
Zetian becomes much more dangerous with these optimized items, and the shield from Blood Wings helps her sustain. If she hits Luo Yi first, she can burst her down before multiple Yin-Yang reactions trigger.
Section 3: Best Magic Items Luo Yi Should Use to Counter Zetian
To maintain dominance, Luo Yi must:
Maximize shield uptime
Sustain long enough to pull off her rotations
Recommended Magic Items for Luo Yi:
Clock of Destiny
Sustain + Max Mana + Defensive scaling
Lightning Truncheon
Synchs well with Clock; deals AoE burst
Enchanted Talisman
Max CDR for faster Yin-Yang reactions
Blood Wings
Massive shield; prolongs survivability
Ice Queen Wand
Slows Zetian down, preventing repositioning
Fleeting Time
Reduces Ultimate cooldown for more teleporting utility
Computation with Item Effects:
Luo Yi gains 650-750 Magic Power
Dispersion = 210 + 135% of 700 = 210 + 945 = 1,155 per cast
Rotation = 250 + 50% = 600 + DoT = 50 + 70% * 8 hits = ~1,000
Reaction = 665 + 190% = 665 + 1,330 = 1,995 * 3 = 5,985
Total = ~8,140 Magic Damage
With a full build, Luo Yi becomes overwhelming in terms of both control and burst. Her ability to cast more Dispersion through Fleeting Time and reduce cooldowns keeps Zetian locked and eliminated.
Section 4: Final Verdict
Match Stage | Winner |
---|---|
No Items | Luo Yi |
Full Build | Luo Yi (Still) |
Even with full build, Zetian can only win if she engages and bursts before Luo Yi sets her traps. If Luo Yi sets even two Sigils before the duel begins, Zetian’s fate is sealed.
Conclusion
In the battle of wisdom vs raw power, Luo Yi proves to be an immovable strategist with devastating area control. Zetian may still dominate certain matchups, but against this sorceress of duality, even divine magic has its limits.
