Basic-attack hypercarry who scales into a lategame DPS check
Miya is a gold-lane Marksman who wins purely through scaling basic-attack damage rather than combos. Moon Blessing stacks attack speed on every hit, Moon Arrow adds free AoE splash, and Arrow of Eclipse is her only source of crowd control. Hidden Moonlight cleanses and hides her instead of granting a hard escape, making positioning her main defensive tool.
Her kit has no skillshot combo pressure — success is almost entirely about farm discipline and positioning rather than mechanical execution.
Max Moon Arrow first for the attack-speed-scaling wave clear and DPS, put one early point in Arrow of Eclipse for crowd control, and take Hidden Moonlight at 4, 8 and 12.
Each time Miya hits a target with her Basic Attack, she gains 5% Attack Speed for 4 seconds. Stacks up to 5 times. After reaching full stacks, Miya summons a Moonlight Shadow with each Basic Attack that deals 30 (+30% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage and inherits a portion of Attack Effects.
Miya shoots two extra arrows with each Basic Attack, dealing 10–35 (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to the target enemy and 30% damage to nearby targets. This effect lasts 4 seconds. Each extra arrow inherits a portion of Attack Effects.
Miya launches an empowered arrow on the target area, dealing 270–420 (+45% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies within and immobilizing them for 1.2 seconds. The arrow then splits into 6 scattering minor arrows, each dealing 40–105 (+20% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to the first enemy hit and slowing them by 30% for 2 seconds.
Miya removes all debuffs on her and conceals herself, gaining 35%–65% extra Movement Speed. This state lasts 2 seconds or until she launches an attack. Miya gains full stacks of Moon Blessing upon leaving the state.

Default scaling build when Miya can safely farm to six items.
Battle spell
Purify90s CDPurify does not clear suppression (e.g. Franco's Bloody Hunt or Khufra's ultimate) — a common mistake is trusting it to escape a hook combo it can't actually cleanse.
Swap in when needed
Malefic Roar — Against a stacked-defense frontline blunting her physical penetration.
Wind of Nature — Two full seconds of physical damage immunity against an enemy marksman or assassin focusing her.
Immortality — Insurance once she's the primary dive target every fight.

When the enemy has a burst diver or assassin threatening to reach her before she scales.
Battle spell
Sprint100s CDUnlike Purify, Sprint does nothing against stuns or roots already applied — it only prevents future slows and outruns melee threats, so it's best on heroes who aren't the primary CC target.
Swap in when needed
Wind of Nature — Two full seconds of physical damage immunity against the burst diver this build is aimed at.
Immortality — Insurance once she's the primary dive target every fight.

The heroes that make this matchup hard, and the mechanic that does it.
KhaleedFighterHardRaging Sandstorm charges the whole distance while Khaleed is immune to control, then stuns on arrival — a gap Miya's kit has no tools to prevent, since Hidden Moonlight only grants speed, not a hard escape.
TerizlaFighter · TankHardPenalty Zone jumps onto her, knocks her airborne and then has Scaffold hook her back three times, which kills through Miya's low durability before she can use Hidden Moonlight to escape.
BaratsTank · FighterHardDetona's Welcome charges in, devours Miya and suppresses her for 1.2 seconds before spitting her out inside his own team, bypassing her kiting entirely.
BelerickTankSoftDeadly Thorns fires damage straight back at whoever hits him, punishing Miya's core basic-attack playstyle every time she autos him, and Wrath of Dryad taunts her into keeping it up for another 1.5 seconds.
BaxiaTankSoftBaxia Mark shaves a flat amount off every separate instance of damage he takes, which blunts Miya's stream of small, fast basic attacks and Moon Arrow splash far more than it does one big hit.
ThamuzFighterSoftCauterant Inferno hands Thamuz a big block of extra max HP and heals him for the same amount, so Miya's steady basic-attack DPS alone can't out-damage him without a burst partner.
LyliaMageSoftBlack Shoes rewinds Lylia to where she stood four seconds ago with her HP restored, so an Arrow of Eclipse that finally lands buys nothing, and her Gloom zones out the ground Miya needs to stand on to attack.
GatotkacaTank · FighterSoftSteel Bones turns every point of HP he loses into Physical Defense, so Miya's sustained basic attacks make him harder to kill, and Avatar of the Guardian knocks her airborne with no counter in her kit.
FredrinnFighter · TankSoftCrystalline Armor stores the damage he takes as Crystal Energy and converts it back into HP as he deals damage, so trading basic attacks into him only fuels his sustain while Brave Assault closes distance faster than she can kite.
YveMageSoftReal World Manipulation rains up to 15 attacks anywhere in the Starfield and the slide slows by 50%, denying Miya the space to kite and auto-attack safely, and its range outpokes her basic attacks before items scale.Wind of NatureArrow of Eclipse only immobilizes, so Wind Chant can still be popped inside it for two seconds of immunity to every arrow.
Blade ArmorReflects and reduces crit damage from her Moon Blessing-stacked basic-attack strings.
Winter CrownNegates the burst window right after Arrow of Eclipse lands.Heroes whose own counter list names Miya — the same matchup, read from the other side.
GuinevereFighterSoftMiya's ultimate grants stealth and a burst of attack speed, letting her vanish and reposition before Guinevere can close in with Spatial Migration.
HayabusaAssassinSoftMiya's ultimate grants invisibility and bonus attack speed, letting her vanish from Hayabusa's target lock right as he commits to the kill.
IrithelMarksmanSoftMiya's late-game crit scaling and invisibility ultimate let her out-DPS or simply vanish from Irithel's damage window.
MoskovMarksmanSoftMiya's Hidden Moonlight can cleanse and stealth right as Moskov lines up his global ultimate, dodging the poke, and her Arrow of Eclipse punishes him for standing still to auto-attack.
ObsidiaMarksmanSoftHidden Moonlight clears every debuff and conceals her the instant Hunt of Bone would lock its tether on, and Moon Blessing's attack-speed stacking wins a straight basic-attack trade.
SaberAssassinSoftHidden Moonlight cleanses her debuffs and conceals her out of Saber's lock-on, and she comes back out at full Moon Blessing stacks to burn him down.Duo partners whose kit completes this one.
GlooTankGrab, Grab latches Gloo onto an enemy hero for up to 9 seconds and pipes 80% of the damage he takes into them, so Miya can unload Moon Arrow and Moon Blessing stacks into a target that's already bleeding.BelerickTankBelerick's tankiness and Ancient Seed's taunt let him soak the frontline and hold aggro, buying Miya the time to farm and land Arrow of Eclipse from safety behind him.
GusionAssassinGusion's burst combo deletes a chunk of a target's HP almost instantly, and Miya can follow up with basic attacks to finish off anyone who survives his initial burst.
FrancoTankA hooked, dragged-in target can't reposition, giving Miya a clean immobilized window to land Arrow of Eclipse and unload a full attack-speed-stacked combo.
JawheadFighterEjector flings an enemy out of their own formation and stuns everyone where they land, isolating a target for Miya to burst down with no ally support nearby.
HarleyAssassin · MageHarley's Deadly Magic ring sticks to a target and slows them by 40%, holding them in range for Miya's basic attacks and Moon Arrow splash.
FannyAssassinFanny's cable mobility lets her isolate a backline target and drag the fight to Miya's side of the map, feeding her easy picks once the enemy is cut off.
GordMageMystic Projectile stuns and reveals a target for a full second, long enough for Miya to land Arrow of Eclipse on top and start a full attack-speed-stacked burst.
YinFighter · AssassinYin's melee burst combo forces enemies to either die or flee into Miya's Arrow of Eclipse range, giving her a follow-up immobilize on whoever survives.
BenedettaAssassin · FighterAlecto: Final Blow makes Benedetta untargetable through the dash, letting her dive in, slow whoever she cuts through by 50%, and leave Miya to clean up with basic attacks.Hold Hidden Moonlight for the moment a diver commits, not proactively — it clears their CC and buys the repositioning window
Lead Arrow of Eclipse on a predicted position rather than the current one; it's an unassisted skillshot with a real cooldown cost if it misses
Reset Moon Blessing stacks on a minion before a fight so you enter it already at max attack speed
Use Moon Arrow's splash to farm two lanes' worth of minions at once when pushing, since it hits nearby targets for free
Miya is one of the most beginner-friendly marksmen in the game — her kit has no combo timing to learn, and success mostly comes down to farming safely and positioning basic attacks correctly.
Swift Boots into Windtalker, Berserker's Fury and Endless Battle is the standard scaling build, shifting toward Haas' Claws and Queen's Wings for sustain when the enemy has a strong early dive threat.
Khaleed, Terizla and Barats counter her hardest because they close distance or displace her regardless of positioning, while Belerick's damage reflection and Baxia Mark's flat reduction blunt her basic-attack DPS directly.
Hidden Moonlight removes all current debuffs and conceals her while granting bonus movement speed for up to 2 seconds or until she attacks, and refills her Moon Blessing stacks the moment she leaves stealth.
