 How To Use 

Keira and Qing Mao make an amazing combo, dealing a ton of damage. Why? Start by taking a look at Qing Mao's Violet Skill: Open Heart, which has the effect of, Qing Mao reduces the target's armor with every attack. The effect lasts until the end of the battle or the target's death. This will continuously rip open the enemy tank's armor, allowing Keira to use her Violet Skill - Piercing Pain, which is a passive skill that has the effect of, If the enemy's armor is lower than Keira's armor penetration, her basic attack deals extra pure damage. This allows Keira to deal extra pure damage, and, her basic attacks that ricochet off all of the other heroes, dealing even more damage if their Armor is lowered. Qing Mao will also benefit from this, by dealing more damage with her skills. Of course, both of these heroes have low health, so you will want a good Healer, such as Martha, paired with them. Martha's Foremother's Oath will increase their speed, so Keira will deal even more damage, and Qing Mao will weaken the opponent's Armor even more. This will increase their damage. However, Keira is very weak to heroes such as Orion, who, with her low health, will destroy her with his Total Destruction.

 How To Counter 

If your opponent is using Qing Mao and Keira, you can exploit their low health. Use a high damage, back-rank attacking hero like Jhu. He will hit Keira with a lot of damage, potentially killing her, and halving the damage output. Another very nice exploit of Keira is Yasmine. This is because when her Ricocheting Blades skill comes into effect, it will hit everyone. Yasmine's Dance Of Death will hit the last hero that hit her. Most likely, it will be Keira, because she will hit Yasmine every single time she uses a normal attack. Yasmine’s Dance of Death is more than enough to kill Keira, again, nearly halving the opposing team’s damage output.

 How To Prevent Being Countered 

To prevent your Keira + Qing Mao from being countered, you will probably want to bring a hero that provides shielding, such as Jorgen. Jorgen is a great hero to have, because he not only provides shielding, he also provides energy control. Another hero is Alvanor, who provides amazing shielding from regular attacks. However, Keira's biggest weakness is probably ultimates, such as Jhu, Yasmine, or Orion will counter her easily, so Alvanor won't help as much. Jorgen will be amazing, because he will shield from overall damage, and his energy control prevents other heros from using their ultimates. Jorgen will gain bonus energy a lot, so he is very weak to Satori's Violet Skill, but Satori's Fox Marks are useless without his ultimate. Therefore, Jorgen will ultimately counter Satori and almost all of the heroes that counter Keira.
