Early Season BD Cricket Support Tier Led by Doria
At the start of the new ranked season, BD Cricket Live players are looking for support heroes that offer high versatility, low difficulty, and solid fault tolerance. One name stands out clearly—Doria. Despite nerfs to soft supports in recent patches, Doria has remained untouched and firmly in the T0 tier. Her lane presence rivals top-tier healers like Cai Wenji and Sang Qi, with her second ability offering a terrifying amount of healing. Although her first ability’s control can be inconsistent, she still excels at protecting marksmen and soaking pressure during the laning phase.
What truly sets Doria apart, however, is her impact in teamfights. Her ultimate ability offers one of the highest ceilings in the game. Paired with almost any hero, even those considered low-tier like Lü Bu, she can turn them into teamfight powerhouses. As the saying goes, there’s no such thing as peace—only someone carrying the burden behind the scenes.
Another unexpected breakout is Mozi, who has surprisingly found more success as a support than in his original midlane role. Since last season, supports have started roaming with the marksman in early 2v2 matchups, making early-game lane dominance more reliant on the support. Mozi’s aggressive control and poke abilities give him a massive edge here. While Doria, Zhang Fei, and Cai Wenji lean more toward defense and protection, Mozi excels at early offensive pressure. If the enemy lacks sustain, two waves of coordinated attacks are often enough to break them.
Meanwhile, some players continue to autopick Sun Bin without reading the team comp. While Sun Bin works well with tanky frontlines, if the team lacks a strong early-game presence or tanks, he’s prone to getting steamrolled in early skirmishes. In contrast, Shao Siyuan is a more balanced choice—she heals, controls, and has strong mobility, making her hard to catch or burst down. She can also steal enemy gold and sustain herself better than most supports. With enough farm, she can buy defensive items and boost her durability. However, she has a steeper learning curve and requires time to master her unique playstyle.
Among all tank supports, Zhang Fei remains the most reliable pick. His high fault tolerance and adaptability make him a strong fit for nearly any lineup. He provides solid lane protection early and shines in teamfights with his ultimate, which can initiate or counter depending on the situation. His updated ultimate now includes two control effects, which, though smaller in range, still offer meaningful crowd control.
For those who understand how to manage vision and positioning like a pro tank support, BD Cricket Live recommends Zhang Fei over most soft supports as a better option for climbing the ranks.
