Putting the Skills to Use
It’s all well and good being able to heal yourself, to dodge enemy attacks, even to stun a swathe of foes. That doesn’t mean you can just set them all off without a little due care and attention. Using all of Chang’e’s abilities together effectively in a sort of synergy is the key to unlocking her own brand of Smite-based awesome-sauce – now available at all imaginary food stores.
Far as using Chang’e’s abilities in synergy with themselves goes, there’s not a whole lot to talk about, as each has its situation. What is worth talking about here is the use of dances in synergy with the desire to move quickly in Smite. If an aggressive warrior or annoying guardian has its beady eyes on your life, throwing out Moonflower dance for a burst of speed and quickly following it up with Moonlit Waltz is never a bad idea. This way you’ll deal a little damage to the closing opponent, move away from them quickly, then be protected from any incoming storm of death that they’ve got lined up for runners.
It can also be used to engage in hit-and-run tactics. Move around the minion waves to get at the tasty gods, then whack them with Crescent Moon Dance, using the speed boost to get up into them. Follow it up with a quick Moonflower Dance for a burst of healing before throwing out Moonlit Waltz and zigzagging away as fast as you can for a clever in-and-out attack streak from this generally close range mage.
An important thing never to forget with Chang’e is her ability to theoretically go back to the base for mana, health, or items. Thanks to that trusty Jade Rabbit, she can stock up on item upgrades or potions without the need to ever recall. That is, unless she is dead or there’s no mana/health at her disposal in Smite. By making good use of Moonflower Dance, you can in theory keep fully healed at all times. This becomes especially possible when you take the right items, including for keeping that mana up. So, let’s go look at these item things.
