Quick summary
Heino is a mid-tier Mid Mage who wants to wear down enemies from range. Public guides recommend a build starting with Boots of Tranquility. Watch for Butterfly-style counters in the enemy draft.
Current patch decision guide
When to pick Heino, when to avoid them, and how to adapt your build.
Heino is a balanced Mid Mage who wants to control space with safe ranged abilities. Public guide data shows a build centered on Boots of Tranquility, Holy Grail, Blood Clan's Grimoire, used to farm safely and rotate to side lanes when the wave allows. Pick him when the draft lets Heino reach targets that aren't built around Butterfly-style answers; avoid when the matchup denies the windows his kit needs.
Pick Heino when
- The enemy team plays dive comp, giving you space to poke before they engage
- The enemy lacks reliable healing reduction, leaving sustain unchecked
- The enemy draft includes Diaochan, Mulan, and Wukong, who appear in counter data as matchups Heino can pressure.
Avoid Heino when
- The enemy has hard engage that closes distance through poke patterns
- The game state demands burst rather than slow attrition
- The enemy already drafted Butterfly, Dharma, and Lu Bu, who counter data identifies as direct answers to Heino.
Power spikes
Early game: focus on safe lane phase and tracking jungle pressure before Heino's mid-game tools come online.
Mana sustain online: poke patterns become repeatable once cooldown reduction and mana regen items come online
Late game: full build online, Heino reaches the spike public guides describe — extended fights favor him once items are completed.
Build decisions
Default mid path
Public build references for Heino recommend Boots of Tranquility, Holy Grail, Blood Clan's Grimoire, Nebulon Wood, Insatiable Tome, and Twilight Stream. Use this as the baseline mage plan before adapting to the enemy draft.
Situational item pivots
Spare options listed in build data include Boots of Resistance, Savant's Wrath, Sage's Sanctuary, and Destiny. Treat these as situational swaps when the default path is not enough — for example, swapping in defensive items against burst comps or penetration items against stacked armor.
Matchup logic
Versus Butterfly
Butterfly and Dharma are flagged in counter data as a direct answer to Heino. Read the enemy's primary win condition, time Heino's key cooldowns to the moment that condition activates, and don't pre-commit when the matchup answer is still up.
Versus hard engage
Heino loses value when forced into close-range fights. Stick with the front line, hold a flash or repositioning skill, and avoid being caught alone in the river.
Synergies
Public synergy data lists Da Qiao, Donghuang, and Sun Bin as strong partners for Heino. Plan engages around Da Qiao's setup window, then second-engage with Fate Rewind.
Common mistakes
- Spending mana on poke that does not threaten kills, leaving you empty for the actual fight.
- Forcing all-ins against opponents already wearing anti-heal — your healing barely activates.
- Ignoring Butterfly and Dharma on the enemy team when picking fights — counter data flags them as direct answers, so engage timing must respect their cooldowns.
- Greeding farm in mid lane while side lanes get camped — rotation timing matters more than CS lead in most matchups.
Background
Fateturner
“Fate is devoid of reason. The final choice lies with me.”
As the heir of the Fate Clan, Heino seemed to be blessed by the heavens, until the fateful day where he lost both his parents and his clan was forcefully removed from the Assembly amidst internal strife. Although the Scepter of Fate subsequently showed him that the Fate Clan is doomed to wither away, Heino is determined to overcome its fate. Taking over the reins of the clan, the young man is determined to restore his clan to its former glory, even if it means traversing a treacherous path under scornful and mocking gazes.

Playstyle
Stay near the carry and time shields/heals to overlap the enemy's damage window, not before. Manage mana carefully — burning resources on poke leaves nothing for the actual fight window.
Patch History
S6 Aug 2024 Stat Nerfs
Reduced the continuous poke of Skill 1 and reduced the damage reduction when Ultimate is used.
Show details
"Currently, Heino offers a poor counterplay experience for opponents. His Ultimate's high damage reduction and restoration allow him to continuously poke enemies while being difficult to counter. We've reduced his damage output and the room for error in his Ultimate, giving opponents more opportunities to counter him."
