Nakroth

When climbing the ranks solo, my favorite are junglers with great mobility, dancing around, stealing buffs, and excellent isolation capabilities. Certainly, Nakroth would be the top priority. Most importantly, this hero allows you to showcase your skills, requiring quick reflexes to pull off dazzling maneuvers. 

The presence of Thương Khung Kiếm makes Nakroth a bit more challenging, especially when facing the enemy's top laner in the mid to late game. However, if it feels too difficult, you can completely ignore it and focus on clearing minions first. Lately, I've developed a habit of taking the Caesar's buff early, then ganking top, especially in matchups with early skirmish potential like Ryoma, Zuka, Omen, or Qi... at this point, the chances of securing first blood are very high. However, if you want to apply this strategy, make sure to coordinate with teammates to secure the blue buff. 

To master Nakroth's dance, you need to constantly leap around, knowing when to engage, when to stealthily farm, or when to retreat. A tip for beginners is that if you haven't learned how to control the map, you'll be affected by the annoying camera angle bug. However, once you fix this habit, dancing with Nakroth will be incredibly fast and smooth. 

Kriknak

My favorite jungle moments involve hiding in the bushes, unleashing unexpected burst damage, and undoubtedly, Kriknak stands out as the most formidable Assassin in this meta. Why does Mytour say so? Because this Beetle can completely devour enemies with just one wing flap and a ground pound, whether it's a Tank or a squishy hero. 

Acknowledging that Kriknak can be a painful tank, it's crucial for players not to fall into the trap of underestimating opponents. Some tankers like Thane, Y’bneth, Omen, combine both resilience and continuous crowd control, making it challenging for Kriknak to shock them. Missing just one beat can result in you being the one counted out. Currently, this hero stands out as one of the few jungle champions with the ability to swiftly handle large targets, especially sneaky Abyssal Dragons, ensuring a quick and discreet feast.

Note that Kriknak lacks hard crowd control and doesn't excel in creating disruptions, so teammates need to be on the same page for optimal effectiveness. In the late game, this hero may face challenges, but you can still easily turn the tide with the enemy's main force. According to Mytour, this is undeniably an ace card for solo climbers. 

Wonder Woman 

When you need a jungler who can carry the team in the middle and late game, being both robust and resilient, dealing significant damage, and with excellent survivability without hindering other jungle options, picking Wonder Woman is the way to go. 

In the early game, she might struggle with slow farming and suboptimal ganking due to her moderate movement speed. During this phase, dealing substantial damage to enemies requires teamwork. However, with patience and efficient farming or an early stroke of luck, Wonder Woman's skirmishing prowess becomes incredibly potent, delivering virtual damage beyond imagination. Opponents find it challenging to retaliate, especially when she activates her Mystic Bracelet. 

To identify a skilled Wonder Woman player, it's not about KDA or farming stats. It's about precise whip strikes, turning seemingly escaped foes into stone with her powerful pulls and lashes. The bulky Wonder Woman players always provide an indescribable thrill with their forceful whip pulls and lashes. She's also an excellent solution to counter other AoV Assassins like Nakroth, Aoi, Zuka, Kriknak - might struggle a bit in the early stages, but once geared up, the true dominator emerges. 

Yan 

Yan is a hero allowing you to showcase multiple skills, capable of handling two or three enemies and manipulating their abilities effortlessly. Especially in this 2023 S3 season, with the emergence of Blade of the Heptaseas, Yan becomes even more formidable and influential. Mytour boldly declares that in the late game, Yan is relentless, excelling in both jungle and solo 1vs1 situations. 

Yan bears a resemblance to Wonder Woman but demands more skills. To master this hero, players need to choose the right moments for engagements and use innate skills in a timely manner. Although Yan performs decently in the Top lane, her slow movement speed makes her vulnerable to enemy exploitation. Therefore, players should take this card to the Jungle, ensuring enough resources for themselves and providing a safe solution to counter many late-game scenarios.

It's essential to note that Yan is formidable, but his peak explosiveness occurs at level 12. The most effective combo for this Arena of Valor hero involves initiating the ultimate, utilizing the innate ability for seamless dashes, and gracefully maneuvering around enemies. However, players might become the laughingstock if they dive into combat and run out of steam before making a move. Therefore, caution is needed to observe and accurately judge the right time to engage. 

Aoi  

When it comes to the most fearsome AoV Assassin in the eyes of Marksmen and Mages at High Elo and above, it's undoubtedly not Nakroth or Kaine but Aoi. This card becomes hauntingly dominant in the hands of top-tier players, reaching banning rates through the roof, and if left open, she's an automatic pick. 

Aoi's strengths lie in her incredible mobility and versatility. She can handle various tasks and strategies at any stage of the match, from securing objectives, pushing lanes, stealing buffs to defending the base. Additionally, this hero brings numerous advantages to the team with map rotations for vision, map scanning, or simply to taunt and distract enemies. Aoi's Dragon Slayer unleashes an incredibly devastating amount of damage, simultaneously enabling her to gracefully dance around foes. 

Despite Aoi's immense strength, she's not without vulnerabilities as we have cards like Wonder Woman, Zuka, or Yan that can catch up and put her on the scoreboard instantly if played cleverly. Especially when your team is cornered in a losing position, this hero becomes no different than a pawn, with no space or terrain to escape. Overall, Aoi is an AoV Assassin that demands a high level of skill. So, if you have the strategy and are familiar with the terrain, use this card to climb ranks and pressure lanes effectively.
