Why is armor useless in VN?
In "League of Legends", Night Hunter VN (Waien) is an ADC hero with true damage as its core. Her skill mechanism determines that the restraint effect of armor on her is extremely limited. This article will combine the hot topics and data analysis of the entire network in the past 10 days to analyze why armor is ineffective for VN, and attach relevant data comparisons.
1. Analysis of VN’s skill mechanism
The core output skill of VN is the W skill"Holy Silver Crossbow", every third attack of this skill will cause true damage equal to a certain proportion of the target's maximum health. The characteristic of true damage is that it ignores armor and magic resistance and acts directly on the target's health. The following are the key data for VN skills:
| Skills | Effect | Damage type |
|---|---|---|
| W skill (holy silver crossbow) | The third attack causes true damage equal to 4/6/8/10/12% of the target's maximum health. | real harm |
| R skill (ultimate moment) | Increase attack power and become invisible after using Q skill | physical damage |
As can be seen from the table, the main output of VN comes from the real damage of the W skill, while armor can only reduce physical damage and has no effect on real damage.
2. Analysis of the restraint effect of armor on VN
The function of armor is to reduce physical damage, but in the damage composition of VN, real damage accounts for a very high proportion. The following is a comparison of the damage reduction effects of armor on different ADCs:
| hero | Main damage types | Armor reduction effect |
|---|---|---|
| VN | True damage (W skill) | 0% |
| policewoman | Physical damage (basic attack + skills) | high |
| EZ | Mixed damage (physical + magic) | medium |
It can be seen from the comparison that the restraining effect of armor on VN is much lower than that of other ADC heroes. Even stacking high armor cannot effectively reduce the VN's true damage output.
3. How to effectively deal with VN?
Since armor is ineffective against VN, how should we restrain her? The following are several mainstream coping strategies in popular discussions in the past 10 days:
| Strategy | Specific methods | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| High burst instant kill | Choose assassins or high-explosion heroes (such as Zed and Enchantress) to quickly kill VN | extremely high |
| chain of control | Use hard control skills (such as Morgana's Q, Robot's Q) to limit VN output | high |
| health stack | The equipment is mainly based on health (such as Outlaw Armor), which reduces the impact of VN percentage damage. | medium |
4. The strength of VN in the current version
According to the statistics of the past 10 days, VN’s appearance rate and winning rate in the ADC position are as follows:
| server | Appearance rate | winning rate |
|---|---|---|
| Hanbok | 18.7% | 51.3% |
| American service | 15.2% | 50.8% |
| National service | 20.1% | 52.1% |
Judging from the data, VN's performance in the current version is very stable, especially in the national server, where the appearance rate and winning rate are both high. This further proves that armor has a limited restraint effect on her, and players are more inclined to choose other strategies to deal with her.
5. Summary
VN's real damage mechanism determines that armor has little restraint effect on her. When facing VN, stacking armor is not a wise choice. Instead, you should deal with it through high burst, control chain or health stacking. I hope the analysis in this article can help everyone better understand the mechanism of VN and find more effective restraint methods in the game.
