Here are 10 beginner-friendly heroes you should master to get a strong feel for each role, improve your mechanics, and build confidence on the battlefield.
🛡️ 1. Tigreal (Tank/Roamer)
Why master him: Tigreal is your go-to for learning map presence and team initiation. His crowd control and durability teach new players how to peel, protect, and lead team fights.
🗡️ 2. Zilong (Fighter/Split Pusher)
Why master him: Zilong is great for understanding macro play—like map awareness and turret pressure. His simple skill set makes it easy to focus on rotations and objectives.
🧙 3. Eudora (Burst Mage)
Why master her: The queen of easy combos. With just one well-timed burst, Eudora can delete squishy enemies. Perfect for learning skill timing and burst windows.
🏹 4. Layla (Marksman)
Why master her: The classic marksman hero. Layla teaches you range management, farming discipline, and how to position yourself late-game to deal massive damage from afar.
🥷 5. Saber (Assassin/Jungle)
Why master him: Saber’s simple mechanics and targeted ultimate help new players understand picking off high-value targets. He’s a strong choice to learn jungle basics and gank timing.
⚔️ 6. Balmond (Fighter/Tank)
Why master him: Balmond is a tanky fighter with strong sustain and fast jungle clear. He’s great for beginners learning lane trades, sustain fighting, and objective stealing (his ultimate works well on Turtle/Lord).
💥 7. Miya (Marksman)
Why master her: She’s more than just a namesake 😉. Miya offers attack speed scaling, crowd control, and teamfight presence, while staying simple to execute. She’s ideal for learning positioning under pressure.
🌀 8. Cyclops (Mage)
Why master him: Cyclops is a high-sustain poke mage who’s easy to control but tricky to master. His low cooldowns help you practice spell weaving and mobility in fights.
🐉 9. X.Borg (Fighter/Offlane)
Why master him: With true damage, regen, and armor mechanics, X.Borg teaches zone control and durability in trades. He’s beginner-friendly and perfect for players who want to dive but not die instantly.
🧤 10. Franco (Tank/Roamer)
Why master him: Franco’s hook mechanic introduces you to skill-shot aiming, pick potential, and aggressive zoning. If you land your hooks, you can carry fights even as a tank.
