Carmilla/Guide

## Overview

Carmilla is the only pure-support hero that is very flexible depending on your team's lineup. Because of her unique skillset, she's commonly played as a tank, esecially with her passive spell that steals enemies' magical and physical armor, while increasing her own stats, coupled with her 1st spell that heals her, and simultaneously damages enemies. It has also been a running joke in the community (while true) that given enough farm, she can be as durable - or even more so - than real tanks.
While she still deals magical damage, in terms of versatility, she can also be played as a support/mage.
Overall, she's an extremely powerful support, with her skills able to cause wide-spread area of effects thanks to her ultimate, and with a team composition that's able to crowd control or burst enemies quickly, Carmilla's team is sure to turn the tides in her team's favor.

## Pros and Cons

### Pros

* Can steal enemy defense because of her  Passive
* 1st Skill has great Heal
* Has annoying CC skills
* Very hard to kill in late game
* Ultimate is good for team fight
* Has 2% more WR (Win-rate) if teamed up with  Cecilion

### Cons

* Lacks Blink skills (She only has Speed Up skill)
* Useless without teamwork
* Short skill range

### Must team-up

* Cecilion, as you might know teaming up with Cecilion grants a special skill Moonlight Waltz Moonlight Waltz, this greatly increases their chances of winnning and survival, because of the shield, extra damage and untargetable effect (when Carmilla is inside with Cecilion) given by this skill.
* Odette, Carmilla's  ultimate amplifies and shares all CC and Damage to the linked target (but reduced to 70% to the other linked targets) and it is good with allies that have CC, AoE and Burst skills such as Odette's  ultimate, each target will take **170%** / **240%** of Odette's  ultimate damage (depending how much linked target are hit on AoE skill). Odette could get a Triple-kill or even Savage easily within seconds.

## Counters

* To counter Carmilla, you can use item  Necklace of Durance (For Mage/Support)  Deadly Blade/ Sea Halberd,  Demon Hunter Sword (For Marksman and other physical damage heroes who are reliant with basic attack, especially  Zilong,  Sun and  Argus) or use hero  Baxia to reduce Carmilla's heal from her  1st Skill. You can use  Malefic Roar (For Marksman/Fighter),  Divine Glaive,  Genius Wand (For Mage) too for reducing or ignoring her defense from her  passive. Use spell  Purify to remove stun from  2nd Skill stun or use  Sprint for removing her  1st Skill and  ultimate skill slow effect.
