Zaan is very effective set at 1vs1 combat. I see it being used more and more. The damage it deals combined with short CD allows to put insane pressure. It deals 18k (after battle spirit) alone if not broken, so it's not like you can choose to ignore it. What's the counterplay? Well, obviously run out, but opponent will…
Block if you are tanky. Dodge back if you are a roller class so that you will break its beam easily as its range is just 8 meters. You can try to use CC before dodging back if you have a reliable CC like fossilize, streak or knockback. Purge if you have cleanse skill or set. So zaan has a counterplay. It can be more cancer…
