Zetian aka The Celestial Empress is one of the Mage heroes that is often used by Mid Laners in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

Its advantages include high area burst damage, strong crowd control (stun and slow), map control thanks to its 'Fury of the Phoenix' (Ultimate Skill) which provides team buffs and enemy damage.

Her skill combo is also very flexible, making her a strong Mage for Team Fights and Zoning.

Then, he is also very effective in controlling the tempo of the game with a combination of skill 1 'Phoenix Strike' (Consecutive/Area Damage), skill 2 'Phoenix Descent' (Reduce enemy Magic Defense and slow) and ultimate skill 'Fury of the Phoenix' which can attack the entire map.

Passive Skill (Celestial Armament)

This passive skill consists of 2 types, namely 'Phoenix Crown' and 'Celestial Robe' with different functions.

'Phoenix Crown' mode when Zetian is hit by an enemy hero with 'Phoenix Strike' (Skill 1) or 'Phoenix Descent' (Skill 2), then he will gain 0.5% Spell Vamp for 5 seconds which can be stacked up to 5x.

While in 'Celestial Robe' mode, the power of Phoenix will protect Zetian, pushing back and stunning enemy heroes while dealing 90 (+10*Hero Level) (+50% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to her enemies.

Zetian will also gain a 300 (+20* Hero Level) (+50% Total Magic Power) shield for 3 seconds and this effect has a cooldown of 120 seconds.

Skill 1 (Phoenix Strike)

Zetian will release Phoenix Wave at his enemy target. If hit by an enemy, he will emit another Wave up to 3x.

When casting Wave, Zetian can move with an extra Movement Speed of 10% and can use other skills.

The three Phoenix Waves will deal 185 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage 185 (+50 Total Magic Power) Magic Damage 330 (+70% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage.

On the third wave, the enemy target will be hit and will have a short pull effect and this skill has 80% Spell Vamp against Minions.

Skill 2 (Phoenix Descent)

Zetian will summon Phoenix Spirits at the target enemy location while dealing 150 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage while also giving a 50% slow effect to her enemies in the area.

The Phoenix Sprits hover in a location for 3 seconds while dealing 20 (+10% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage every 0.5 seconds plus reducing 10% Magic Defense.

While Phoenix Spirits is active, Zetian can use this skill again to attack a designated location while dealing 150 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage and slowing down.

Ultimate Skill (Fury of the Phoenix)

Zetian will summon her Divine Mandate and the hearts of her people while granting all 60% Movement Speed to her allies for 3 seconds.

He will also give his divine retribution to all enemy heroes while dealing 400 (+100% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage while stunning the enemy for 1 second.

The advantage is that Zetian can use other skills when he uses this skill.

The Most Painful Zetian Item Build

This build is to make Zetian spam skills, poke from a distance, have high damage and survive in the late game.

Zetian is a Mage who relies on poke, crowd control and utility for his team so these items can make him even more painful.

Below is the Zetian item build that you can use in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang with the following arrangement:

Arcane Boost

These Arcane Boots are a Tier 3 item in the Movement category that can be purchased for 720 Gold in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Shop.

This item will grant Zetian Magic Penetration + Movement Speed. This will make Zetian's skills, especially 'Phoenix Strike' (Skill 1) and 'Phoenix Descent' (Skill 2), more damaging to enemy heroes who have already started building Magic Defense.

With Magic Penetration from Arcane Boost, Zetian's Magic attacks are sharper and more objective, and their damage is high.

Clock of Destiny

The Clock of Destiny is a Tier 3 item in the Movement category that can be purchased for 2,030 Gold in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Shop.

This item provides complete statistics for Zetian such as providing Magic Power, HP and Mana and its passive called 'Time' will make her stats increase during the game.

Because Zetian often spams her skills, her mana and HP are very important for fighting without having to go back and forth to base.

Lightning Truncheon

This Lightning Truncheon is a Tier 3 item in the Movement category that can be purchased for 2,250 Gold in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Shop.

This item is very suitable to be combined with Clock of Destiny because this item provides +75 Magic Power, +400 Mana and +10% Cooldown Reduction.

Her unique passive called 'Resonate' will function to deal damage through her next skill to multiple enemies, scaling from Max Mana.

Holy Crystals

This Holy Crystal is a Tier 3 item in the Movement category that can be purchased for 2,180 Gold in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Shop.

This item will provide Magic Power of ±185 and its unique passive called 'Mystery' to increase Zetian's total Magic Power by 21 – 35% depending on Zetian's hero level.

Because his 'Phoenix Descent' (Skill 2) and 'Fury of the Phoenix' (Ultimate Skill) rely on high Magic Power scaling.

So, this Holy Crystal makes it have huge damage especially when stacked with many other items.

Divine Glaive

This Divine Glaive is a Tier 3 item in the Movement category that can be purchased for 1,970 Gold in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Shop.

This item is very important for Zetian because it provides +65 Magic Power and +40% Magical Penetration through its unique passive called 'Spellbreaker'.

For Zetian, this makes the damage still painful even though the enemy has built HP or Magic Defense, especially Tanks or Fighters.

Blood Wings

Blood Wings is a Tier 3 item in the Movement category that can be purchased for 2,100 Gold in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Shop.

This item is very important for Mages like Zetian, especially in the late game because it provides +150 Magic Power and +500 HP plus a unique passive called 'Guard' to get a shield based on your magic power when attacked.

Not only does she deal massive damage, but Zetian also has an extra survivability buffer so she's not easily attacked during war.

Overall, Zetian has a large mana, low cooldown, high magic damage, penetration that can slice through enemy armor and extra shield to withstand attacks.

This item build is very suitable for Zetian's playing style, which is spamming skills from afar and helping his team in Team Fights.

Emblems

The suitable emblem for Zetian is the Mage Emblem, which provides basic attributes such as Magic Power, Cooldown Reduction and Magic Penetration so that her skill damage is even more painful for enemies with high magic defense.

You can choose the following talent emblems to make Zetian more damaging in the early to late game.

This can also make his skills come out more often, items work faster and his skill damage hurts more through strong scaling.

Tier 1: Inspire

This Inspire will provide important Cooldown Reduction and Mana Regen bonuses for Zetian.

Zetian's skills have high cooldowns, especially 'Phoenix Strike' (Skill 1) and 'Phoenix Descent' (Skill 2) which are used for poking and zoning.

With Inspire, her skill cooldown is cut more and her mana will regenerate faster so Zetian can spam skills first without having to recall to base often.

This can also poke the enemy more aggressively and help the team in battle.

Tier 2: Bargain Hunter

Bargain Hunters will offer buy discounts. For Mages like Zetian, who often rely on damage scaling, saving up diamonds or gold early in the game can have a significant impact.

With this, Zetian's damage is greater and is very helpful so you don't miss the power curve.

Tier 3: Impure Rage

Impure Rage is Zetian's most iconic Mage emblem. This talent allows skill damage to deal an extra percentage of the target's HP (4% of the enemy's HP) and restore half of her mana when firing a skill at an enemy.

Zetian can also recover, allowing her to spam skills repeatedly. This effect is crucial because this Mage is extremely mana-hungry.

Impure Rage allows Zetian to keep poking without worrying about running out of mana faster.

Overall, the Mage Emblem for Zetian allows her to spam skills, get items faster and deal massive damage through extra skill damage + mana sustain.

With emblem settings like this, it is ideal for Zetian who likes to poke from afar, zoning and helping his team in battle without running out of skills or items.

Battle Spells

The Battle Spell that suits Zetian is 'Flicker', which will make Zetian move in a specified direction within a certain distance quickly.

It's like an escape skill or quick repositioning that can help Zetian escape from ganks, dodge enemy skills and fight enemies.

This Flicker has a cooldown of 120 seconds. When used, Zetian can instantly teleport in a designated direction, gaining Physical Defense and Magic Defense for 1 second.

The value is 6 + 1 per hero level, so the higher Zetian's level, the higher her defense will be.

This emblem functions to escape or advance to fight the enemy when a team fight starts.

The defense effect is a bonus to help Zetian when hit by enemy skills.

So, this Flicker can provide an opportunity for survival and provide an opportunity to fight enemies at crucial moments.

Combo Skills

Below are some skill combos that Zetian must use, including the following:

Combo 1 (Skill 2 + Skill 1)

This skill combo is effective for poking and zoning enemies in the early game to mid game.

When you use 'Phoenix Descent' (Skill 2) first because this skill provides slow and shield magic defense to enemies in the area.

After that, you can follow with 'Phoenix Strike' (Skill 1) so that the magic waves hit enemies who are already slowed.

'Phoenix Strike' (Skill 1) can be released 3 times in a row with large damage in each wave so that it can poke or clear minions/creeps more optimally.

Combo 2 (Ultimate Skill + Skill 2 + Skill 1)

This combo is a must-use for Zetian during large battles or team fights. Her Ultimate Skill, 'Fury of the Phoenix', deals damage, stuns, and grants movement speed to your team.

After that, you use 'Phoenix Descent' (Skill 2) to lock the enemy and give extra slow so that team fights are uncomfortable.

Lastly, you can use 'Phoenix Strike' (Skill 1) to explode total damage after the enemy is hit by the debuff from 'Phoenix Descent' (Skill 2).

With this, you can make your damage thicker thanks to its many passive debuffs and your 'Fury of the Phonix' (Ultimate Skill) makes it difficult for enemies to escape.

Combo 3 (Skill 2 + Recast Skill 2 + Skill 1)

This combo is perfect for follow up chases or chasing enemy heroes who are running away.

You can use 'Phoenix Descent' (Skill 2) and recast 'Phoenix Descent' (Skill 2) to move Phoenix Spirit to another place which gives slow damage and debuff to enemies 2x.

After the spirit shoots 2x, you just use 'Phoenix Strike' (Skill 1) to explode three magic waves at the target.

This makes it difficult for the enemy to escape because of the slow and scattered damage.

This combination allows Zetian to stick to the team fight area without having to approach the enemy.
