Also known as Moonlight Archer

Lore

Born at the end of the Era of Strife, Miya bore witness to the unspeakable tragedies that befell the elves during the Endless War. She saw how the Abyss defiled the Shadow Swamp and corrupted many of her people into Dark Elves. It was not until the Moon Goddess created the Lunar Aegis over Azrya that the Moon Elves were able to thrive again under its protection. Miya became the Priestess of the Moon, and for thousand of years she served faithfully in the Lunar Temple, diligently watching over her people. However, with the continued expansion of the Abyss and its dark legions, the Land of Dawn is once again shrouded by the fog of war. From the Moonlit Forest, a call to war that has not been heard in thousand of years sounded again. Miya took up her silver bow and swore by the light of the moon to fight for her people.

Counter / cooperate relationship

Matchups

Counters

Miya counters heroes who rely on targeted CC effects, such as Saber and Eudora, because she can easily escape their CC and respond with a strong counterattack. The split arrows from her 1st Skill are also very effective against heroes that summon units, such as Sun.

Countered by

Miya is countered by heroes with a lot of AOE damage, such as Pharsa and Yve, because they can still hit her while she is concealed.

Compatibility

Miya works well with Tanks who have powerful CC abilities like Belerick and Tigreal since their CCs give her more opportunities to dish out damage.
