How to Play Milady in HoK

• Early Game (0-5 minutes): Focus on farming and reaching level 4 as quickly as possible. Avoid using Skill 2 before minion waves cross, as ranged minions may linger under the tower, slowing down lane clearing. Pay attention to last hits, as only kills summon mechanical minions. Use the brush to your advantage, summoning minions while hidden to maintain lane pressure.
• Mid Game (5-15 minutes): Once you hit level 4, start rotating to other lanes to apply pressure. Combine your ultimate (Chaos Field) with Skill 1 and 2 to control and burst down enemies. Be cautious of your positioning, as Milady lacks built-in mobility. Use Flicker judiciously to escape dangerous situations. When sieging towers, summon mechanical minions in the brush and use your ultimate to lock onto the tower, allowing for stealthy tower damage.
• Late Game (15+ minutes): In team fights, focus on controlling and bursting down less mobile enemy heroes. Use the ultimate in combination with Skill 1 and 2 to create chaos and deal significant damage. Position yourself safely behind your frontline, as Milady is vulnerable to dive heroes. Coordinate with allies like Da Qiao to keep enemies in check and secure safer retreats. Capitalize on your siege potential by pushing objectives aggressively when the opportunity arises.

Throughout the game, remember that mechanical minions do not expose Milady’s vision when attacking towers, allowing for sneaky plays. Continuously create minions through minion wave kills and use them to maintain lane pressure and zone out enemies.
