Have you ever wondered why Suyou always seems insanely strong when he's on the enemy team—but when he's on your team, he's weak, deals no damage, and dies easily?
You're not alone.
Many players experience the same thing: When the enemy picks Suyou, it's like he becomes an unstoppable monster—farming fast, dealing high burst damage, and being nearly unkillable. But when you or your teammate uses him? He ends up being underwhelming.
So what’s the reason behind this?
Let’s break it down—and show you how to unlock Suyou’s full potential so you can carry games instead of getting carried.
Instead of banning Suyou or letting others use him wrong, why not master him yourself?
If you're playing ranked and he’s not banned, pick him. Suyou is one of the most effective heroes for solo queue, duo, or even trio parties. He's a top-tier jungler with great carry potential.
But be warned—just watching pro players use him isn't enough.
Before playing Suyou seriously, you need to understand what he does, his roles, and how his kit works. This isn’t a hero you can pick up just because he’s trending or looks cool in pro play. He requires mechanical skill, game sense, and timing.
Here’s a breakdown of Suyou’s core roles:
Clear jungle camps quickly: small monsters, buffs (blue/red), Turtle, Lord. This is your base responsibility.
Focus on pushing towers, securing Turtle/Lord, and making kills that convert into objectives—not just chasing kills for the highlight reel.
Suyou excels at finishing off low-HP enemies. His skills allow you to chase, burst, and secure kills easily.
Enemies trying to flee with Flicker, dash, or blink? Suyou's low-cooldown dash skills make chasing easy. His kit punishes slippery heroes.
Suyou’s combos revolve around two types of playstyles—Tap and Press mechanics.
Tap Combo is ideal for quick bursts. Use it when you want fast mobility or to burst down a squishy hero.
Press Combo is best for extended fights. It makes Suyou more durable, allowing him to survive longer during team fights.
Skill 1 (Press & Aim) – This stuns the enemy. Important: You must hold the skill, not just tap it.
Skill 2 (Press & Slash) – Deals high damage with multiple slashes. Perfect after stunning.
Skill 3 (Ultimate - Arrow Mode) – Use for poking or executing enemies from afar.
🔥 Pro Tip: Tap Skill 1 for mobility and escaping. It activates faster and grants temporary immunity, similar to Leomord’s skill 2. But timing is everything!
Suyou has two forms:
Sasuke Mode: Fast, agile, perfect for farming and rotating.
Susanoo Mode: Tankier, ideal for team fights and prolonged engagements.
Farm in Sasuke mode for fast movement and clear speed.
Fight in Susanoo mode to become bulkier and harder to kill.
Don't farm in Susanoo form—it slows you down and wastes Suyou's mobility advantage.
One major reason players fail with Suyou is poor cooldown management. Don’t blow all your skills at once unless you’re 100% sure you’ll get the kill.
If your combo fails and all skills are on cooldown, you're left with no damage and no escape—basically a free kill.
When using your last skill, make sure it's the Press version. This makes Suyou tankier, giving you a better chance to survive until your other skills come off cooldown.
Skill 1 (Tap): Best for escaping and quick movement. Grants immunity while dashing.
Skill 1 (Press): Best for engaging. It stuns the enemy, great for securing kills.
Skill 2: Your main damage dealer. Use after the stun for massive burst.
Skill 3 (Arrow/Press): Great for poking and finishing. Fast cooldown and wide range.
Skill 3 (Reverse Dash/Tap): Not recommended unless you're super confident—it can ruin your combo due to awkward dash direction and short range.
Suyou is a mechanically intensive jungler that demands timing, combo accuracy, and proper form switching. If you’re constantly dying with Suyou, it’s likely due to:
Using the wrong combo at the wrong time.
Going all-in with no escape plan.
Not utilizing the form advantages properly.
Master the basics, practice your combos in Custom or Classic mode, and watch how the hero transforms from a flop to a true rank-climbing monster.
Q: Is Suyou beginner-friendly?
A: Not really. His mechanics are harder than most junglers. Best suited for intermediate to advanced players.
Q: Should I always use Press Combo?
A: Preferably yes for fights. But use Tap when escaping or chasing.
Q: What emblem and build should I use?
A: Use Assassin or Jungle Emblem. As for items, prioritize Sky Piercer for maximum finishing power.
