Xiao Daji Meng Tian Summon

小妲己-蒙恬召唤流

Player: Xiao DajiCarry: Meng TianStyle: Summon swarmDifficulty: Medium

Pool check: Don't run this if Zhulu or Sunset Sea is banned in your lobby.

Meng Tian and Milady flood the board with minions. Every support hero exists to make Meng Tian cast more often, level faster, or come back after dying, and Cang turns each dead minion into area damage.

Positioning

Board

Flex

Front row at top. Meng Tian · Mi Yue · Taiyi · Cang · Milady · Shi · Lu Ban Dashi. The number on each portrait is the hero's tier.

Taiyi comes in late. Hold him until player level 5, then place him next to Meng Tian so the revive lands on your carry.

Front row is Meng Tian alone. He draws fire while his summons spill forward; Mi Yue and Taiyi sit right behind him.

Player skills

Passive

Heartbeat 怦然心动

Every 4 cards bought gives a random effect card. More effect cards means more Mi Yue procs on Meng Tian.

Secret

Heart Pull 心之引力

Ultimate · Lv 6

Endless Charm 魅力无限

The first effect card you play each round triggers twice, auction cards included.

Game plan

Round by round

EarlyPlayer Lv 1–3

Round 1: play 1Yixing.
Lose-streak open for economy.
The comp starts at player level 3.

MidPlayer Lv 3–4

Start rolling at level 3. Go level 4 if the shop is dry.
Awaken in order: 2Mi Yue → 2Meng Tian → 2Milady.
Play Zhulu hero affixes and shop effect cards freely. Each one triggers Mi Yue and pushes Meng Tian's level.
Buying cards builds toward Heart Pull, which makes the next rolls cheaper.

LatePlayer Lv 5–6

Once your HP is safe, go level 5 and add 4Taiyi beside Meng Tian.
While leveling, hold 4 copies of 5Lu Ban Dashi in hand.
At final circle, play the awakened Lu Ban Dashi to raise the comp's ceiling.
No pressure on you? Go level 6 for Endless Charm.

Matchups

Who you beat, who beats you

Favored

Single-carry melee comps

Mulan 花木兰

Li Xin 李信

Han Xin 韩信

Liu Bang 刘邦

These comps funnel everything into one melee hero. That hero walks into a wall of minions and spends its whole fight cutting through bodies, and every minion it kills explodes on it through Cang.

Unfavored

Tier-5 AoE carries at level 100+

Yuhuan 杨玉环

Tier 5 · Lv 100+

Ziya 姜子牙

Tier 5 · Lv 100+

Lu Bu 吕布

Tier 5 · Lv 100+

Any comp with a high-level tier-5 hero that hits in an area. One cast clears the swarm, so your minions die before they do anything and Meng Tian is left standing alone.

Can you pivot when you meet a counter?

Not late. By the time you see a 100+ AoE carry, this comp is locked in:

Selling loses money. Heroes cost a flat 3 gold and sell for a flat 1, so every hero you dump costs you 2.
Zhulu heroes are grown, not bought. They level up round after round from the moment they hit the board. A replacement starts from zero.
Everything needs awakening. Every core hero except Taiyi has to be awakened to work, and that takes rounds you won't have.
