Zhuxin is a mage hero with easy difficulty. This is a live guide — win rate, pick rate and counter data refresh every 6 hours from real ranked matches.
Updated · live data refreshed 2 hours ago · every 6 hours
Zhuxin can provide great damage and CC, but she can't realize her potential until later in the game, so heroes with CC can help Zhuxin get through the early period. Zhuxin also works well with sustained damage heroes like Belerick, Kimmy, and Cici to dish out a surprising amount of damage.
Like most Mages, Zhuxin is countered by heroes with high mobility and burst, such as Fanny and Saber, who can quickly take her down.
Level up in this order when playing Zhuxin:
Lantern Flare
Fluttering Grace
Crimson Butterflies
A mysterious young woman who guides the ember butterflies using her Lantern of Spirits.
Every time Zhuxin channels Lantern Flare, she converts the Mana spent into up to 15 Crimson Butterflies to follow her Spirit Lantern. After Zhuxin stops channeling Lantern Flare, the Crimson Butterflies will gradually disappear, each restoring 3% of her Max Mana. Zhuxin has a naturally high base Max Mana, but it doesn't scale with her level.
Zhuxin deals 150 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to all enemies in a fan-shaped area and applies 1 stack(s) of Soul Snare. Zhuxin also slows all enemy heroes hit by 20% and gains 20% of extra Movement Speed herself for 1.5s.
Hold: Hold the skill button to move the Spirit Lantern. It deals 35 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to all enemies in range every 0.33s (Magic Power increases to 60% against Minions) and applies Soul Snare to enemy heroes hit. When an enemy hero reaches 10 stacks of Soul Snare, the Crimson Butterflies capture them, pulling them airborne for 1s. Release: Throw all captured enemies to the target location, dealing 200 (+150% Total Magic Power) + 10% of the captured target's Max HP as Magic Damage to all enemies in the area. If an enemy is hit multiple times, subsequent hits deal 80% less damage. After a target is captured, Soul Snare cannot stack on them again for 4s. During this time, this skill deals 15% increased damage to that target.
Zhuxin blinks to the target location while gaining a 400 (+100% Total Magic Power) shield. While flying, she creates a field around her for 6s. The field deals 30 (+10% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage and applies 1 stack of Soul Snare to enemies every 0.5s.
Skill Order: Prioritise skills in this order — Skill 3 → Skill 2 → Skill 1.
→
→
In the laning phase, use Zhuxin's 1st Skill to slow the opponent and increase her own Movement Speed, then use her 2nd Skill from a safe position and try to hit the Minions and the opponent at the same time to both poke and clear the lane. Once the enemy has enough stacks, throw them into the Minions for additional damage.

In teamfights, use Zhuxin's Ultimate to blink into a good position, then follow up with her 1st Skill to slow the enemy team and use her 2nd Skill to build stacks at a safe distance. Try to capture as many enemies as possible with her 2nd Skill, then throw them out of position while also grouping them up.

Demon Boots
Clock of Destiny
Genius Wand
Sky Piercer
Holy Crystal
Wishing Lantern
The demon boots improve zhuxin's resilience when it comes to mana consumption, the clock of destiny provides mana, health and overall sustain! The genius wand reduces the enemy's magic defense allowing Zhuxin to deal more damage the longer her lantern is on the enemy. The sky piercer allows you to finish off low health enemies and steal some sneaky kills from your teammates along the way ;). The holy crystal offers magic power depending on Zhuxin's level; the higher the level, the more the magic damage! The wishing lantern is Zhuxin's signature weapon, the longer you continuously dish out damage, the more damage you will actually deal overall. It also gives a huge boost of mana as a plus!

Tough Boots
Clock of Destiny
Lightning Truncheon
Genius Wand
Holy Crystal
Divine Glaive
The Arcane Control Build is designed for consistency, scaling, and teamfight dominance. Clock of Destiny is the core item of this setup, providing essential magic power, mana, and survivability that allow Zhuxin to stay active in prolonged fights. It synergizes well with Impure Rage, enabling frequent skill usage and sustained damage throughout the game. Once the core item is secured, Lightning Truncheon and Genius Wand amplify her damage output, while Holy Crystal and Divine Glaive ensure she remains effective against both squishy and tanky enemies in the late game.

Genius Wand
Lightning Truncheon
Divine Glaive
Holy Crystal
Blood Wings
The Arcane Burst Build focuses on fast damage spikes and pick-off potential. Lightning Truncheon serves as the core item, significantly boosting Zhuxin's burst damage and helping her trigger Lethal Ignition more efficiently during combos. This allows her to eliminate squishy targets quickly in early and mid-game skirmishes. As the game progresses, Holy Crystal and Divine Glaive further enhance her burst, while Blood Wings provides additional magic power and survivability for late-game fights.
Flicker · Mobility
Agility
Weapons Master
Impure Rage
The recommended Mage Emblem focuses on mobility, damage consistency, and mana sustain. In the first tier, take Agility to gain extra movement speed for faster rotations and safer positioning. For the second tier, choose Weapons Master, which increases the effectiveness of magic power gained from items and enhances Zhuxin's scaling into the mid and late game. As the core talent, Impure Rage is the best choice, as it provides additional damage based on the enemy's current HP while restoring mana, allowing Zhuxin to continuously pressure enemies during lane phase and extended teamfights.
Agility
Bargain Hunter
Lethal Ignition
As an alternative for Zhuxin, players can use a burst-oriented Mage Emblem that focuses on maximizing damage during early skirmishes and pick-offs. Choose Agility in the first tier for mobility and map presence, then take Bargain Hunter in the second tier to reduce item costs and allow faster access to core magic items. For the core talent, Lethal Ignition enhances Zhuxin's burst potential by dealing additional damage after landing multiple attacks on the same target, making it especially effective against squishy heroes and during early-to-mid game skirmishes.
Play safe early, control the mid game, and let Zhuxin win the fight for you.

Battle Spell. For Zhuxin, Flicker is the most reliable and recommended battle spell, as it greatly improves her survivability and positioning in fights. Flicker allows Zhuxin to quickly reposition during teamfights, escape assassins, or adjust her angle to safely deal damage from the backline. Since Zhuxin lacks strong mobility skills, Flicker helps compensate for this weakness and enables safer rotations and objective control.
