SEASON 42 PROFILE
Moon Palace ImmortalTrouble Maker stacks slowing through repeated hits, Crescent Moon grants a shield and empowers the other skills, and Meteor Shower fires thirty meteors in a line. Chang'e must protect that shield; without it she loses range, damage and much of her pressure.
DATA REVIEWED 13.10.2026 · PATCH 2.2.16
HOW TO PLAY
Activate Crescent Moon before clearing and cast Starmoon Shockwave from an angle that does not expose the shield to free damage.
Meteor Shower works across corridors, objectives or a wave that must disappear quickly. Track the opponent by turning the line without moving closer.
Late in the game, wait until Lolita or another important block is occupied before channelling. Losing all thirty meteors into a known defence removes your contribution.

QUICK ANSWERS
Chang'e is currently played mainly in Mid Lane. The guide separates the recommended builds by lane or job, so choose that tab before copying the six items.
Start with «Mid Siege Default». The other options, «Split-Push Attack Speed» and «Anti-Dive Control», are there for a different lane or match-up; they are not cosmetic variations.
Lolita, Irithel and Gloo are the first counters to consider. Lolita reflects the barrage, while Claude can jump onto Chang'e before the channel completes its damage.
