Yu Zhong, who is known in Land of Dawn by the nickname Black Dragon, has long earned a reputation as one of the most dangerous fighters in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. He is respected and feared — he feels like a master on the line. This hero seems to have been created for the role of an explainer: his skills help him stay in line even in protracted battles. The passive Cursing Touch skill gives Yu Zhong powerful vampirism, allowing him to restore his health right in the middle of a fight. And the Dragon Tail and Soul Grip skills perfectly complement the passive, turning each attack into a real threat to rivals.
In addition, he has two ultimates in his arsenal at once — Furious Drive and Black Dragon Form. The first adds mobility and makes it possible to quickly get close to the enemy, the second is one of the most formidable initiation skills in the entire game. Once Yu Zhong activates the Black Dragon Form, his abilities gain a huge range, and enemies often simply lose their composure when they see a Black Dragon soaring into the sky in front of them. It’s not just a skill—it’s a psychological weapon that inspires fear.
But no matter how strong his abilities may seem, there are counter-heroes against Yu Zhong. By choosing a character correctly, you can turn the tide of the game and force the Black Dragon to retreat.

Wanwan
Wanwan is considered to be one of the best counter-picks against Yu Zhong. She’s fast, agile, and incredibly uncomfortable for a hero who’s used to relying on her might and onslaught.
Her Tiger Pace passive increases her attack speed depending on her movements. This means that Wanwan is able to literally dance around the opponent, scattering a hail of blows and depriving him of the opportunity to recover.
The key problem when playing against Yu Zhong is his control. Furious Drive and especially Black Dragon Form can disrupt the rhythm, knock the hero out of position. But Wanwan has salvation — the first ability, Needles in the Flowers. By activating it in time, it removes the control effects and continues to deal damage as if nothing had happened.
Another of her tools is Swallow’s Path. It is especially valuable at the moment when Yu Zhong transforms into a dragon and gains strength. With this ability, Wanwan can immobilize him, leaving him with no chance to quickly escape or attack.
In terms of assembling items, you should pay attention to Sea Halberd. This artifact cuts the opponent’s vampirism, which means that Yu Zhong loses his main source of vitality. Combined with the attack speed and crit points — for example, from Scarlet Phantom or Berserker’s Fury — Wanwan turns into a thunderstorm for the Black Dragon.
However, even here it’s not just about objects. To counter Yu Zhong effectively, you need to maintain your positioning, keep the map under control, and work with your allies.
Hayabusa
If Wanwan can be called a graceful counter-peak, then Hayabusa is a quick and deadly response to Yu Jung. This assassin is built on mobility and the ability to inflict damage in batches.
With the help of Ninjutsu: Quad Shadow, Hayabusa easily evades Yu Zhong’s skills and chooses advantageous positions. And his Phantom Shuriken allows you to constantly keep your opponent under pressure without letting him get too close.
The main threat from Hayabusa is the ultimate Ougi: Shadow Kill. At this moment, he delivers a series of lightning strikes and becomes inaccessible. This is especially unpleasant for Yu Zhong: the damage is huge, and there is almost no way to respond.
The optimal item will also be the Sea Halberd — it eliminates the vampirism of the enemy and gives additional attack speed. But it’s important to understand that Hayabusa can’t always do it alone. He needs to play in conjunction with allies who will help to impose control or bring the battle to an end.
Baxia
Baksia is a classic counter for heroes who depend on restoring health. His passive Baxia Mark reduces the effectiveness of vampirism, and this is a real problem for Yu Jun.
When the Black Dragon activates his form, Baksia responds with an ultimatum of Tortoise’s Puissance. This skill allows you to literally crash into an opponent, depriving him of maneuverability and forcing him to fight in unfavorable conditions. In conjunction with Baxia-Shield Unity and Shield of Spirit, the hero constantly slows down the enemy, preventing him from escaping or catching up with his allies.
As for the items, Dominance Ice will be mandatory. Combined with Baksia’s passivity, he literally zeroes out a significant part of Yu Zhong’s vampirism. This is the key to reducing its impact on the game.
But even with all these tools, Baksia can’t do it alone. Victory is born in a team game: it is important to synchronize actions with allies, use control and at the right moment to attack the whole team.
Bottom line: despite the fact that Yoo Joong is a hero who inspires respect and fear, he has weaknesses. Wanwan, Hayabusa, and Baxia are three great options to hold off the Black Dragon. With proper assembly, competent play and the support of allies, he ceases to be invulnerable and may be among the defeated.
