How To Counter Zetian Using Ruby : Skill Breakdown, Combos, Counter and Gameplay Tips

 

Mobile Legends Ruby vs Zetian counter guide – how to use Ruby’s crowd control, lifesteal, and skill combos to counter Zetian in ranked gameplay.

1. 💥 Base Skill Damage Showdown: Ruby vs Zetian (No Items)

🔹 Ruby’s Skill Breakdown

Assumptions: Level 15, no items

  • Passive: Dash + scales defense, no direct damage

  • Skill 1 (Be Good!): 2×90 = 180 Physical Damage + 70% PA (assume 0): → 180

  • Skill 2: Approx. 2× (average 122.5) = 245 Physical

  • Ultimate: 340 average (200–480) Physical

Ruby’s total burst: 180 + 245 + 340 = 765 Physical Damage (with up to ~5% Spell Vamp & defenses)

🔹 Zetian’s Skill Breakdown

  • Skill 1: 300 Magic Damage

  • Skill 2: 350 Magic Damage

  • Ultimate: 750 Magic Damage

  • Total: ~1400 Magic Damage

🚩 Verdict (No Items)

Zetian outperforms Ruby in pure skill damage (~1400 vs. 765). While Ruby has more CC and survivability via Spell Vamp, the damage difference is decisive in short trades.

2. 🧙 Zetian’s Magic Counter-Build Against Ruby

To overcome Ruby, Zetian needs high burst, survivability, and control tools:

  1. Divine Glaive – punch through Ruby’s defenses

  2. Glowing Wand – damage-over-time to counter her sustain

  3. Ice Queen Wand – slows to control Ruby’s gap closes

  4. Genius Wand – reduces Ruby’s magic resistance

  5. Blood Wings – shields against her all-in

  6. Boots: Tough Boots – Resist CC and be tankier

With the full build, Zetian’s skill damage increases by ~30–40%, allowing her to burst Ruby before she can capitalize on sustain and CC.

3. 🛡 Ruby’s Physical Counter-Build Against Zetian

Ruby’s goals: burst, sustain, and anti-burst shields:

  1. Haas’s Claws – excellent Spell Vamp to counter Mage damage

  2. Blade of Despair – massive burst when engaging with skills

  3. Malefic Roar – penetrate any defensive builds Zetian might carry

  4. Endless Battle – extra true damage after skill use & lifesteal

  5. Hunter Strike – bonus mobility and penetration

  6. Boots: Warrior Boots – extra physical resist

With this build, Ruby delivers strong burst plus sustain to close the gap and outlast Zetian’s combative spells.

4. 🏆 Final Verdict

Scenario Winner Why
No Items (Pure Skills)     Zetian              Higher base burst
Itemized Build     Tight Fight              Depends on initiation and range management
Extended Fights     Ruby              Sustain + CC becomes decisive


Key Insight: Ruby wins if she closes distance; Zetian wins if she controls space with skill usage.

5. ❓FAQ Section

Q1: Can Ruby survive Zetian’s full burst?
A: Not without key magic defense or spell-vamp. With the build, she can, especially via Haas’s Claws.

Q2: What’s Ruby's item timing vs Zetian?
