Combo sequence: Skill 2 > Ultimate > Skill 1 > Basic attack (x2) > Skill 2 again. The key is freezing the enemy with your passive before your team follows up. Diao Chan excels in protect-the-carry comps -- use your ultimate's slow field to peel for your ADC. In SEA tournaments, she's a priority pick because her zone control is unmatched in mid-game teamfights.
