DPS with High Damage via Combo & Ultimate
Lifeng is a Physical Element DPS who gains Link via his Combo Skill and connects it to his Ultimate to deal high damage. By consuming Link when activating his Ultimate, he can perform a high-damage additional attack.
Lifeng Strategy Guide
Basic Rotation
- Connect Battle Skill → Final Strike → Combo Skill
- Enhance Ultimate by consuming a Link
Connect Rotation: Battle Skill → Final Strike → Combo Skill
Lifeng can trigger his Combo Skill by landing a Final Strike on enemies with Physical Susceptibility or in a Breach state. Since his Battle Skill applies Physical Susceptibility, the ideal rotation is to connect Battle Skill → Final Strike → Combo Skill.
| Tips! | His Battle Skill only inflicts Physical Susceptibility if the enemy is not currently in a Vulnerable state. |
|---|
Gain Link With Combo Skill to Enhance Next Skill
Lifeng gains a "Link" when activating his Combo Skill. This buff increases the damage of the next Battle Skill or Ultimate used by any team member. Use this to set up big damage for your allies or Lifeng himself.
Consume Link to Enhance Ultimate
Activating his Ultimate while holding a Link adds a massive third-stage attack to the sequence. Always ensure you use Lifeng's Ultimate after securing a Link from his Combo Skill for maximum output.
Check Link State Left of the HP Bar
You can verify if you have a Link by checking the buff icons next to the HP bar. The icon resembling a sword tracing a path indicates the Link is active, check for this before committing your Ultimate.
Lifeng Best Teams
Physical Element Team
| Main | Sub | Support | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lifeng | Chen Qianyu | Pogranichnik | Ardelia |
With Lifeng, it is important to gain a Link from his Final Strike into a Combo Skill, and then follow up with his Ultimate for high damage. Pogranichnik, who can generate SP while also applying Breach, is a great fit, and if you have him, you can form a powerful team.
Beginner & F2P-Friendly Team
| Main | Sub | Sub | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lifeng | Chen Qianyu | Endministrator | Snowshine |
Other than Lifeng, this team consists of characters obtainable through the story and from giveaways. By using the Endministrator's Battle Skill to consume Vulnerable, then connecting into Lifeng's Battle Skill → Final Strike, you can consistently lead into Lifeng's Combo Skill.
Lifeng Best Weapons
Mountain Bearer Is Recommended
| Weapon | Features |
|---|---|
| Mountain Bearer | - Increased damage to Vulnerable enemies - Boosts all stats under specific conditions - Acts as an ATK buff thanks to his Talent |
Lifeng's recommended weapon is Mountain Bearer. It provides a massive damage buff via its weapon skill and can effectively increase his attack power due to Lifeng's Talent. Its Main stat also matches, making it a very good fit.
Other Recommended Weapons
| Weapon | Features |
|---|---|
| Valiant | - Boosts Agility - Deals additional damage when inflicting a Physical Status effect - Synergizes well with his Knock Down capabilities |
| Chimeric Justice | - Boosts Strength - Increases ATK under specific conditions - The most recommended 5-Star alternative |
Lifeng Best Gear Build
- For Blue gear, use "Roving MSGR" that increases Agility
- For Purple gear, use "Roving MSGR"
- For Gold gear, use "Aethertech"
For Lifeng's gear, equipment that can enhance Agility as the main stat is recommended. Additionally, gear that increases damage when inflicting Physical DMG or Vulnerable works well with him.
For Blue gear, Use "Roving MSGR"
| Armor | Roving MSGR Jacket Attack +16 |
|---|---|
| Gloves | Roving MSGR Fists Physical DMG +9.7% |
| Kit 1 | Roving MSGR Flashlight Combo Skill DMG +21.0% |
| Kit 2 | Roving MSGR Flashlight Combo Skill DMG +21.0% |
| ▼ Set Effect | |
| [Roving MSGR] - Wearer's Agility +50 - When the wearer's HP is above 80%, Physical DMG +20% | |
For blue gear, the Roving Messenger set is recommended. The Set Effect significantly increases Lifeng's main stat, Agility, while further increasing Physical DMG when HP is above 80%.
For Purple gear, Use "Roving MSGR"
| Armor | Aburrey Heavy Armor T1 Combo Skill DMG +14.7% |
|---|---|
| Gloves | Roving MSGR Fists T1 Attack +12.3% |
| Kit 1 | Roving MSGR Flashlight T1 Combo Skill DMG +29.4% |
| Kit 2 | Roving MSGR Flashlight T1 Combo Skill DMG +29.4% |
| ▼ Set Effect | |
| [Roving MSGR] - Wearer's Agility +50 - When the wearer's HP is above 80%, Physical DMG +20% | |
Purple gear also recommends the Roving Messenger set. Use the Set Effect to increase Agility and Physical DMG. For the body piece, we recommend Aburrey Heavy Armor T1, which increases the Agility and Strength that Lifeng needs and boosts Combo Skill damage.
For Gold gear, Use "Aethertech"
| Armor | MI Security Armor Originium Arts Intensity +20 |
|---|---|
| Gloves | Aethertech Gloves Originium Arts Intensity +34 |
| Kit 1 | Aethertech Stabilizer Originium Arts Intensity +41 |
| Kit 2 | Aethertech Stabilizer Originium Arts Intensity +41 |
| ▼ Set Effect | |
| [Aethertech] - Wearer's ATK +8% After the wearer applies Vulnerability, the wearer gains Physical DMG +8% for 15s. This effect can reach 4 stacks. If the target already has 4 stack(s) of Vulnerability, the wearer gains an additional Physical DMG +16% for 10s. This effect cannot stack. | |
For gold gear, the Aethertech set is recommended. It can significantly increase the Agility and Strength that Lifeng needs. Additionally, increasing Originium Arts intensity also increases Stagger Meter and other stats, making it powerful for boosting Lifeng's damage output.
Lifeng Recommended Potential Phases
P1 Enhances Support Capabilities
P1 is the recommended stopping point for Lifeng. At P1, the Physical Susceptibility effect is increased, significantly boosting his damage support. Additionally, the trigger conditions for Physical Susceptibility are relaxed, making him easier to play. Aiming for P1 gradually through off-banner pulls is a solid strategy.
