Introduction
Sun is a fighter hero who is very good at attacking and playing offensively by mobilizing his clones.
This guide will help you understand more about Sun so you can use its unique abilities to your advantage.
Skills and Passive
Endless Variety
The first skill is Endless Variety. This allows Sun to throw his golden staff at an opponent. If the golden staff hits it, the monster or hero will experience a 60% reduction in the movement for two seconds. The staff will also deal with 250 points of damage to enemies hit along its path. After the staff reaches an opponent, Sun’s clone will appear, having 40% of Sun’s stats and lasting five seconds.
Instantaneous Move
The second skill is Instantaneous Move. This skill allows Sun and its doppelganger to deal with 180 points of physical damage at the same time. Sun will also jump towards the opponent once the skill is activated to hit it close. An advantageous move if used wisely, ending a one vs. one fight quickly.
Clone Techniques
Clone techniques are Sun’s third skill, his bread and butter. This creates a doppelganger with 70% of Sun’s current stats and will restore the HP of the original Sun every time the clones attack effectively. Besides, these doppelgangers will last for 12 seconds. It is notable for keeping in mind that doppelgangers from Clone Techniques take more damage.
Passive: Simian God
Next, the passive ability of the Sun is the Simian God, which decreases by 6% all of the physical defenses of enemies near Sun or Sun’s doppelgangers. Additionally, the precise effect of Simian God can stack up to 3 times.
Build and Emblem
Skill Order
Upgrade the second skill, then the first, and lastly, the third if you are doubting on how to keep increasing Sun’s stats. Overall, this will build Sun with good damage and will show its attacker character at its best. Sun is a good ganker and is durable as well, so there are many areas where you can see Sun as fit. Beware the lack of blink skills or the efficiency of Sun against CC heroes, as these are its cons.
One handy build to equip Sun with is Corrosion Scythe. This will get the enemies to be slower, and Sun will be able to attack faster. Besides, added together with Demon Hunter, Sun’s capabilities will be even better. Demon Hunter is crucial to defeating high HP enemies.
Moreover, Anthena’s shield will get Sun a protective barrier every 30 seconds, handy if you want to balance out the offensive as well as the defensive capabilities of Sun. Wings of the Apocalypse Queen is another build that will increase the lifesteal and reduce the taken damage when Sun’s health is low. This can be a life-saver if used appropriately at the right time.
Emblems
The fighter or assassin emblem will work great on Sun, as it fits the playing style of this attacker.
Teammates and Counters
To summarize the relationship of the Sun with other heroes, it is important to note what are the heroes that Sun is capable of winning against easily.
Sun is Strong Against
The characters Layla, Clint, and Zelong are all prone to be defeated by Sun. However, Sun is instead weakened by the heroes Sun, Freya, and Alucard.
Sun Pairs Well With
Also, if Sun is teamed up with Sun, Gatotkaca, and Aurora, makes a strong team. These are all important notes to have in mind when battling heroes on the battlefield or to create a team.
Combos and Tips
One combo is triggering the first skill to summon the clone and then using the second skill to hit with increased damage. Mages and assassins are especially vulnerable to this attack due to their low health, so remember this when you see one on the battlefield. This will help you gain a better insight into what Sun can really do and how it can do it effectively.
Recommended Lane
Sun can be used with the solo top or bottom lane approach. Sun can be jungle as well. When thinking about using a battle spell, it is recommended to use Alegis, Sprint, or Inspire.
