If you are still worried about choosing a melee in the top lane and being beaten by the opponent's long-handed Counter, if you are still helpless because of the opponent's insignificant consumption. Then listen to me, choose her, no hero with long hands can walk out alive in her hands, she is the blade dancer from Ionia-Knife Girl
The performance of Sword Girl is indeed mediocre when facing fighters. Many fighters can overpower Sword Girl. However, Dao Mei has a restraining effect on those long-handed heroes with a range of more than 300 yards, and even has a super high kill rate. Including professional competitions, Sword Girl is often used to counter heroes like Jayce and Gnar.
Sword Girl's passive skills are somewhat similar to Noshou, and she is called the Ionian female Noshou. After the passive stack is full, basic attacks will cause additional damage and provide yourself with attack speed. Hitting an enemy unit with a skill will superimpose a passive layer on the sword girl, up to four layers.
Any unit killed by the Q skill will be refreshed immediately, and enemies with an unstable center of gravity can be hit by Q one extra time. The key to whether the sword girl plays well is the Q skill. This skill requires a very high level of proficiency and is particularly easy to cut off the Q skill.
The W skill is similar to Juggernaut's W, with very high damage reduction, and Sword Girl cannot be interrupted when she activates W.
The E skill is the only control that Dao Mei can control. Pull out a straight line, and the enemies pulled will be stunned and have an unstable center of gravity. This skill is relatively late to master and requires frequent practice.
The ultimate move is to throw out a burst of blades, which will explode immediately after hitting the first enemy, forming a cage, and all enemies in the cage will be in a state of unstable center of gravity. Enemies that touch the cage will also be reduced.
Sword Girl is a very passive hero. A Sword Girl without passive is no different from a super soldier, so stacking up the passive is the key. After the passive is fully stacked, many heroes cannot beat Sword Girl.
Make good use of the Q skill refresh mechanism, wait until several minions have lost their health, and then use Q to fully stack the passive. The hero Dao Mei is very flexible when there is a line of soldiers. You can play her as Yasuo, using minion evasion skills, and you can also use Q to rush in or retreat.
The W skill can reduce a lot of damage and can be used to resist the opponent's most damaging skills, such as Riven's ultimate move and Death Song's ultimate move, which are very useful.
If your jungler is AP, you can choose to play the mid-single sword girl. Dao Mei's dominance in the middle lane is much higher than that in the top lane. It can be said that she is not afraid of any regular mid laner, and she is very simple and brainless. Sword Girl only needs to stack up her passive, find an opportunity to E to the opposite side, and then she can go directly. It is difficult for a regular mid laner to compete with the Sword Girl. Sometimes, E is not even needed. As long as the passive is fully stacked, he can stand out without thinking.
At present, the mainstream talent of Dao Mei is Conqueror. If you want to increase the suppression power of the equipment, the first item will be Destruction. Combined with the blood recovery of Q skill, the online endurance is very strong. There is no mythical outfit that is particularly suitable for Sword Girl. Thirst Blood or any of the three items will do. Other equipment is the Demon Drinking Knife, Death Dance, and Resurrection Armor, which can be used according to the opponent's lineup.
Dao Mei is a typical hero who wins the lane but not the team. Once the Q is cut off in the team battle, it is easy to be killed instantly by the opponent's concentrated fire. Moreover, when choosing a sword girl, you must have an advantage. It is easy to press the line, so it is easier to be caught by the jungle.
Dao Mei is good for playing in the mid lane to supplement AD output. It can suppress most mid lane heroes. Moreover, Dao Mei has a very high operating limit and is very entertaining. Players who like to show off must give it a try.
