As more players gain deeper insight into Crickex App gameplay, the importance of mages in team compositions has grown significantly. You can be bold but not reckless—and game developers of Honor of Kings have clearly aimed to strengthen mage roles, including lowering magic resistance stats on jungle monsters. With adjustments made to Milady’s mechanical minions, her pick and win rates have soared. Known for her formidable lane-pushing ability, Milady can quickly take down mid-lane towers on her own.

However, once the mid tower is destroyed, the enemy can easily dominate your jungle area, placing your entire team at a disadvantage. While many players instinctively pick Jiang Ziya to counter Milady, he may not be the best option. Although his reworked skills have made him stronger and more popular—especially since his passive allows him to boost his team’s base stats by reaching level 25—he struggles in the early game. His crowd control and resistance-reduction abilities are useful, and his ultimate can deal solid damage, but against Milady, that might not be enough.

Crickex App users have pointed out that while Jiang Ziya can gain extra experience from Milady’s summoned minions and level up quickly, he struggles to maintain lane control before level four. He lacks effective early-game damage and can’t protect the tower effectively. Even post-level four, his ultimate isn’t impactful enough to pressure Milady, who can easily burst him down using her combo of mechanical minions and ultimate crowd control.

In contrast, Diao Chan is a far more effective counter. Known for her high true damage and self-sustain, she can apply consistent pressure in the lane. Her second skill not only slows enemies but also reduces its own cooldown upon hitting a target—something that Milady’s minions can conveniently help trigger. With built-in lifesteal and mobility, Diao Chan becomes Milady’s natural nemesis. Crickex App players recommend taking the Purify spell to avoid crowd control and ensure a clean kill when Diao Chan reaches level four. She can drain HP from Milady’s minions while continuously applying pressure and healing herself in return.

Another excellent pick is Wan’er, whose usability has improved drastically after adjustments to her mechanics. While some players say Wan’er has a tougher time in the early stages of lane control, Crickex App users have discovered a workaround. Before the wave clash, Wan’er can charge one enhanced basic attack and combine it with her first and second skills to clear waves efficiently. Once she reaches level four, Milady won’t be able to roam freely anymore. Wan’er’s ultimate requires a target to initiate takeoff, and Milady’s minions conveniently serve that purpose. Wan’er can then launch herself directly onto Milady and secure a kill with ease.

In summary, when facing Milady in mid-lane, Crickex App experts agree that Diao Chan and Wan’er offer better matchups than Jiang Ziya. Both heroes provide superior early-game resilience and the tools to outplay and eliminate Milady before she becomes a serious threat.
