To help you save time and accurately build a powerful deck, we've specially created this Set 1 Traditional Chinese Tier List! From the S-tier rulers to the unique Tier 1-2 heroes, we'll analyze the reasons for their win rates and deck characteristics. If you're looking to dive in, check out which deck suits your style best!
S Tier
Kai'Sa — Daughter of the Void
Strength Reason: Her ability allows her to convert resources specifically for casting powerful spells (and this resource replenishment ability has the dominant characteristic of not being counterable by chains). This enables her to ignore opponent's counter-measures and forcefully cast high-burst or high-value spells, gaining absolute dominance on the battlefield.
A Tier
Master Yi — The Wuju Bladesman
Strength Reason: The king of duels and defense on the battlefield. When an allied unit defends alone in a combat zone, it gains significant stat bonuses (+2 ⚔️/🛡️). This "solo combat" characteristic greatly maximizes the value of a single high-cost unit, offering very high defense and counter-attack efficiency against spread-out decks.
Sett — The Boss
Strength Reason: Strong early to mid-game snowballing and resource recycling capabilities. When a buffed unit on the battlefield is about to be defeated, Sett can spend resources to recall it to the reserve zone, directly denying the opponent's kill advantage and preserving the card's value. Once a combat zone is successfully occupied, he can immediately reset his readiness, making him excellent at disrupting the opponent's tempo.
Viktor — The Machine Herald
Strength Reason: Viktor's core operation lies inhigh back-end pressureandtempo control. He heavily relies on spells and counter-mechanisms to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm. Through precise resource management and spell chaining, Viktor can effectively suppress opponents without direct engagement, making him a highly threatening choice in control archetypes.
B Tier
Miss Fortune
Strength Reason: Possesses extremely high practical competitiveness and skill ceiling. Miss Fortune has performed exceptionally well in regional tournaments; her deck can achieve incredibly explosive tempo in a competitive environment. For players seeking high aggression and high returns, she is a very popular choice in the current meta.
Ahri
Strength Reason: Ahri's playstyle is balanced between offense and defense, focusing on highly flexible tactical responses. She doesn't pursue extreme aggression or staunch defense, but rather offers diverse strategic countermeasures based on the opponent's plays and battlefield situation. This flexible mid-range style allows her ample room for maneuvering and counter-attacking against various deck archetypes.

Lux
