Beginner-friendly hero, Arthur is the mentor, and the little fox is not as good as the team fight washing machine.

The competitive game is fast-paced with over a hundred heroes. New players entering the Rift are completely lost, unlike veteran players or those switching from the Chinese server to the international server. Starting with limited resources, they spend gold and diamonds to buy heroes, requiring careful selection. It's like a role-playing game (RPG) where, upon entering the new world, you immediately decide your class: warrior, mage, marksman, support, or jungler. Focusing on one lane allows you to gradually expand your hero pool and find your signature hero – at least that's the old rule. Now, with pre-selected lanes, this problem is largely eliminated. Focusing on one playstyle, mastering one hero, and breaking through the competition to reach the Diamond rank is no problem.

Playing competitive games is not like watching a show.

As a newbie, you'll definitely want to have some fun. You can't just sit around doing nothing forever. Are you just going to randomly pick a character, slack off the whole time, use skills only when you have a spare moment, and then watch a black screen video when you get killed? That's just not fun. The idea is very simple: find a character with a high margin for error, simple and straightforward controls, understand the counter-relationships, and even if you underestimate yourself, you might surprisingly find yourself capable of carrying the team once you enter the battlefield. That's the charm of competitive gaming: power spikes, equipment choices, a clear playstyle, skill combos—easily shed the "lying around" label.

When reading guides, support heroes are often the most recommended priority. Start by being an observer and gradually learn. Once you understand how to support your teammates, you'll know how to coordinate with others to kill targets. Playing support requires high damage output, but playing damage output also requires high support skills. Initiating team fights, providing crucial healing, and controlling debuffs—this crossroads is the most perplexing. After integrating the hero pool, players can find versatile heroes that fit into any lineup and are easy to use in actual combat.

Arthur

Why is he called "Newbie Guide"? Think back to when you first joined the game, and the tutorial forced you to use which hero? Arthur. Because he's a jack-of-all-trades, he's free to obtain, given as a login reward, and even retired players can easily pick him up with a few clicks. Let's talk about his advantages: sustain, silence, healing, damage mitigation, and the ability to one-shot squishy targets. The secret is 1A2A3: use skill one to accelerate and attack at close range, use a basic attack to trigger silence, use skill two to launch a shield that spins and deals damage, continue attacking at close range, and finally use the ultimate to lock onto the enemy's head, leaping towards them to finish them off.
