Part 1: Miya vs Zetian - Who Will Win Without Any Items?

To make this fair, we will only use base damage from skills (no items, no emblems, no buffs). Let’s examine each hero’s damage potential and control capacity in a 1v1 scenario.

Miya's Base Damage Breakdown

Passive: Moon Blessing

• Each Basic Attack gives 5% Attack Speed for 4s (up to 5 stacks).

• At full stacks, summons a Moonlight Shadow:

  • Damage: 30 + 30% Total Physical Attack

Skill 1: Moon Arrow

• 2 extra arrows for 4s

• Main target: 10 + 100% Total Physical Attack

• Side enemies: 30% of the damage

Skill 2: Arrow of Eclipse

• Initial AOE: 270 + 45% Total Physical Attack

• Scattered Arrows: 6 x [40 + 20% Total Physical Attack]

• Control: 1.2s Immobilize, 30% Slow for 2s

Ultimate: Hidden Moonlight

• Removes all CC

• Conceals for 2s

• On exit: gains full stacks of Moon Blessing

Burst Potential (Full Combo):

• Skill 2: 270 + (6 x 40) = 270 + 240 = 510 base damage

• Moon Arrow: 10 base per arrow x 3 arrows x ~3 hits = 90 base damage

• Moonlight Shadow procs at full stacks: 30 per hit x 3 = 90 base damage

• Total: ~690 base skill burst (not including Basic Attacks, which will be fast and stacked)

Passive: Forbidden Mark

• Applies "Forbidden" stacks; empowers abilities

Skill 1: Spirit Touch

• Damage: 300 + 120% Magic Power

Skill 2: Forbidden Force

• Damage: 250 (base)

• Knockback effect

Ultimate: Soul Echo

• Multi-phase damage:

1v1 Conclusion: Who Wins With No Items?

Hero	Base Damage	Crowd Control	Survivability
Miya	~690	Immobilize	Conceal, fast basic attacks

Part 2: Best Magic Items + Boots for Zetian to Counter Miya

To counter Miya effectively, Zetian needs burst magic damage, magic penetration, and anti-attack-speed utility. Here’s the optimal build:

Zetian’s Item Build to Counter Miya

1. Divine Glaive - High magic penetration, bypasses Miya’s defense.

2. Glowing Wand - Burns enemies, perfect for Miya’s sustained damage fights.

3. Genius Wand - Lowers Miya’s Magic Defense.

4. Ice Queen Wand - Slows Miya to reduce her kiting and repositioning.

5. Blood Wings - Grants survivability + burst magic.

6. Boots: Tough Boots - Reduces Miya’s CC duration and gives Magic Defense.

Total Output:

• Magic Penetration (Genius + Divine) = Ignore most of Miya’s defenses

• Slow utility reduces her attack uptime

• High burst from Glaive + Blood Wings synergy

➡ Zetian becomes an anti-carry with AoE slows and insane burst.

Part 3: Best Physical Items + Boots for Miya to Counter Zetian

Miya needs anti-burst survivability, high Attack Speed, and physical penetration to defeat Zetian before getting nuked.

Miya’s Item Build to Counter Zetian

1. Wind of Nature - Grants immunity to Zetian's burst (2s physical damage immunity).

2. Haas's Claws - Lifesteal to recover from poke damage.

3. Demon Hunter Sword - Extra damage against high HP enemies.

4. Windtalker - Boosts Attack Speed + AoE crit.

5. Blade of Despair - Massive finishing damage.

6. Boots: Tough Boots - Reduce CC from Zetian's knockback and slows.

Total Output:

• Burst & Attack Speed from Windtalker + BoD

• Survivability from Wind of Nature + Haas

• DPS scaling to shred even tanks like Zetian

➡ Miya needs to play hit-and-run, using Ultimate + Wind of Nature to stay alive through the burst.

Final Verdict: Who Wins Overall?

Scenario	Winner
Base Damage 1v1 (No Items)	Zetian
Full Item Build 1v1	Miya (if played right)

With items, Miya gets the tools she needs to dodge and sustain through Zetian’s spells. However, a burst combo from Zetian can still win in milliseconds if Miya mistimes her immunity.

➡ Verdict: Skill matchup. Miya wins late-game, Zetian dominates early.
