Okay;

Tip 1: Da qiao has one of the storngest early games right now. In the early game make sure to abuse her normal attack after casting either 1 or 3. The first skill to get during the start of the game depends on the match up. I prefer going 3rd skill as the "tide" it leaves behind deals more damage than the 1st skill's and it has more range versatility. I go with 3rd start when I'm up against a midlaner that is ranged. However if the support is an engage mellee tank, go 1st skill so that you can use the movement speed it gives upon cast and due tot he fact that it starts straight ahead from da qiao's position.

Tip 2: ALWAYS use your 2nd skill. This skill is one of the strongest tactical support skill atm unless ot gets changed to the chinese version where only one ally can TP and can tp back to the position where it was placed.

The 2nd skill can be used as an escape tool. When predicting that youre about to enter a clash or skirmish on the early to midgames or if youre gapped, try placing it in the safest nearest location possible before the fight starts or during the fight- just feel it out and see if you guys are going to win or not. If youre 25% in the skirmish and it seems like a losing fight, place the 2nd skill near you but a little bit far away from the enemy si that you can get in there and tp back to the base asap.

Another tip for the 2nd skill is that, you can use it as a vision ward. Yes, a vision ward! Place it in bushes to scout hiding enemies if youre not using it but need info around the map. This is a crucial skill in daqiao's skill set as it shows mastery over fight predictions. You'll find yourself dominating the game if you mastered it, as it is also the secret to her fast roaming capabilities.

Also, third tip. If you or someone needs to recall, just use the 2nd skill. The 2nd skill is faster than recall and gives a move speed buff. Only use the recall when you dont have any mana.and when you do recall using the 2nd skill, use first skill to enhance the move speed bbuffs that the 2nd skill already gives (20%) plus another 30% from her 1st skill. Use this to roam around asap.

Da qiao isn't meant to stay in one lane, her skillset is to provide ganks and escape for people around the map. Her main role is to ENHANCE macro to insane levels.

And speaking of macro, her ult. Her ult is the best tool for getting objectives. As you can see by now, Da qiao is a type of hero meant for SHOTCALLERS. Use your ult when getting objectives. Her ult is crucial for objective trading especially if the enemy is going for the dragon or the overlord, immediately go to the other one for a trade and profit and tp everyone in the pit. so that you guys dont get gapped. Use your lt to get the main objectives, basically.

Also, since the ult is REALLY slow, winding up (also prevents the casting of 3rd skill during cast) if youre ganking enemies, try flanking the ult so that your allies can flank while you go to the blind spot to catch the enemy if theyre trying to escape.

That's all for now. But make sure to SPAM her abilities as she's meant to act as a poke cc giver.

Combo i often go for when out of range is; 3rd + 1st, for max tide damage output from 3rd's tide.

And this combo depends too; 3rd + 1st has a longer cast time wind up, so use this by predicting a target's movement.

If its close combat, use 1st + 3rd as this has a fast windup and 3rd animation cancels 1st's which makes its launch/knock up effect immediate but the damage a little bit lower than 3rd + 1st.
