Honest framing

"Baxia is really really good in solo to trio AND in 5-man. He's good in all queues. He pretty much counters healer supports like Angela and Floryn."

His passive applies anti-heal innately — making him the highest-impact pick into healer/sustain comps.

Build & Emblem

• Spell: Flicker.
• Emblem: Tank — Vitality → Tenacity → Concussive Blast.
• Boots: Tough Boots + Favor (or Encourage).

Item path

1. Boots + Favor.
2. Dominance Ice — stacks with passive anti-heal; total negation against healer comps.
3. Oracle — heal amp + hybrid def.
4. Radiant Armor vs magic damage (Hajun's correction: he built Athena's Shield in VOD but said Radiant is the better choice).
5. Antique Cuirass vs phys-skill.
6. Immortality.

Skill tech — drag S1 to redirect

"You can drag Baxia's first skill — if you drag it, you can move a different direction. Next time you jump on an opponent, drag onto them and you'll stun better."

Default S1 leap fires straight; hold-and-drag lets you curve mid-leap to land on a juking target. Lands the stun reliably vs mobile heroes.

S1 timing vs dash heroes

When fighting Benedetta-types: wait for them to commit their dash, THEN S1. If you S1 before their dash is committed, they side-step out of your stun. VOD: Hajun waited for Bene's S2 to start, then S1'd on her landing point.

When to pick Baxia

"Pick Baxia versus beginners especially. He's really good versus support healers."

• Vs healer-support comps (Angela, Floryn, Estes, Rafaela) — anti-heal disables their entire identity.
• Vs sustain fighters (Esmeralda, Yu Zhong, Argus) — Dominance + passive shreds their healing.
• Vs Mia/Lesley — predictable invisibility, S1 catches them on reveal.

Don't pick vs heavy dive comps where you have no follow-up — Baxia's damage is moderate, he needs teammates to convert.

Macro — early game L4 rotation

Optimal pre-turtle path:

1. Vision EXP-side buff (always — junglers start there for L4 timing).
2. Clear mid wave 1 (full XP/gold).
3. Stand near jungler's first buff (extra XP from rolling defensive heal).
4. Help take Lethal.
5. Clear mid wave 2.
6. Sit near jungler's second buff.

You hit L4 right at first turtle.

"The weakness of L4 rotation: you give up map control. In solo to trio I generally don't do this — gathering enemy info matters more than 1 extra level."

Macro — predict enemy invader paths

VOD: opponent jungler started blue → Hajun knew his next 4 camps would be red → Lethal → green → predicted gank route → repositioned to cut off OR avoid.

"Frederrin started blue. So next he goes red, then walks up to lethal. He's behind. I want him to stay behind, so I fight for that lethal."

Mid-late game decision tree (Hajun's mental model)

"Process of elimination. Top? Hanabi too far back. Mid? Cecilion too risky to push deep. Bottom? Mincy is already pushing — I can hide in a bush and let her solo-tower."

Concrete decision-making at every spawn:

• Which lane has minions hitting tower SOON?
• Which teammate can solo-clear if I just zone?
• Which lane has 3+ enemies pressuring (don't go alone)?

The optimal play is usually NOT engaging — it's standing in a bush near a free tower while a teammate pushes.

Lord setup — push the OPPOSITE lane

"Always pressure the opposite lane of Lord before doing Lord. If your top is pushed and a defender goes top, then Lord is 5v4."

This is "Lord dance":

• Pressure the cross-map lane to split their roamer/jungler.
• Use slow-push: clear only the 2 small minions, leave the cannon → minion wave wins fight on its own.
• Time Lord to start with 30s left of slow-push setup.

Sieging — sync three waves at once

When pushing with Lord active: let all three lanes' minion waves arrive at all three towers simultaneously. Forces enemy to split-defend; you just hit the lord lane unopposed.

Phone grip (general advice, not Baxia-specific)

Hajun's habit: middle finger underneath the phone, index finger always hovering over map to pan, thumbs for skills. Lets you keep panning during skill use. ~1 week to adapt.

Counter notes

• Diggie ult removes his CC.
• Khufra S2 suspends him mid-roll.
• Purify voids stun follow-up.
