Review
- Protects allies with Physical Attack Reduction combined with Taunt, plus Protection - Can counter debuffs with Confusion - Reducing the Cooldown of himself and 2 Back Row allies on Basic Attacks is also excellent - In Guild War, HP Alteration lets him aim for wins by HP lead - Best used mainly as a counter to Physical and Tank teams in Guild War

A Guild War Hero with Protection

Li is a Support hero who can shield 2 Back Row allies with Physical Attack Reduction combined with Taunt, plus Protection. Protection pairs well with his Counterattack effect and his ability to heal the 3 allies with the lowest HP when enemy attacks hit him 3 times, making him useful as a counter to Physical teams in Guild War. He also has an HP Alteration skill, so he can aim for wins by HP lead against Tank teams.

Reduces Skill Cooldowns with Basic Attacks

His Basic Attack reduces the Cooldown of himself and 2 Back Row allies, so he is a great partner for Attackers who want to cycle their skills faster. His Protection has no hero type restrictions, making him easy to pair with any hero.

Should Li Be Awakened?

Worth Using in Guild War

Physical Attack Reduction combined with Taunt, Protection that shields the Back Row, and Cooldown Reduction for Back Row allies make him an effective counter to Physical teams in Guild War. His uses are limited, but as a Rare Hero, the hurdle for Skill Enhancement is relatively low, so he's a good pick if you want to expand your Guild War roster.

How to Awaken

Their skill enhancement progress carries over even after Awakening. Once Awakened, they can also enhance their Awakening Skill, so be sure to enhance your main heroes.

Best Build for Li (Awakening)

Best Equipment Sets

Set	Why It's a Good Fit
Paladin	- Increases his healing and attack damage - Paladin is the best default choice
Guardian	- An option if you want more durability - Guardian is more useful than Gatekeeper for countering Crush users
Gatekeeper	- Higher durability lets him support allies for longer - Makes it easier to aim for 100% Block Rate
Orchestrator	- Effective if you want to prioritize debuff countermeasures

Li's strength is durable support, and raising his HP also increases his healing and attack damage, so Paladin is generally the best choice. Orchestrator is also an option when you want to counter debuffs.

Paladin Set (Default Build)

Set	Main Option Candidates	Sub Option Candidates
Paladin	[Weapon] - HP (%) [Armor] - Damage Taken Reduction - Block Rate	- HP (%) - HP - Block Rate - Defense (%) - Effect Resistance - Speed

Paladin is generally the way to go, raising durability options such as HP, Defense, Block Rate, and Damage Taken Reduction. Since his main role is to hold out with durability, Speed generally isn't needed, but raise it if you want to act first.

Guardian Set (Defense Build)

Set	Main Option Candidates	Sub Option Candidates
Guardian	[Weapon] - HP (%) - Defense (%) [Armor] - Damage Taken Reduction - Block Rate	- Block Rate - HP (%) - HP - Defense (%) - Effect Resistance - Speed

The Guardian set is useful if you want more durability while also countering Crush users. As with Paladin, raise durability options such as HP, Defense, Block Rate, and Damage Taken Reduction.

Gatekeeper Set (Block Build)

Set	Main Option Candidates	Sub Option Candidates
Gatekeeper	[Weapon] - HP (%) [Armor] - Damage Taken Reduction - Block Rate	- Block Rate - HP (%) - HP - Defense (%) - Effect Resistance - Speed

When using Gatekeeper, durability options such as Defense and Block Rate are also best. Use the Damage Taken Reduction main option and aim to get his Block Rate as close to 100% as possible.

Orchestrator Set (Debuff Countermeasure)

Set	Main Option Candidates	Sub Option Candidates
Orchestrator	[Weapon] - HP (%) [Armor] - Damage Taken Reduction - Block Rate - Effect Resistance	- Block Rate - HP (%) - HP - Defense (%) - Effect Resistance - Speed

Using Orchestrator is a valid choice when you want to counter debuffs in Guild War. It tends to offer less durability than the durability sets above, so make sure to raise his durability with options.

Best Rings for Li (Awakening)

Legendary Rings

Best Rings to Equip
Ring of Resurrection	Ring of Immortality	Ring of Authority

Li is a durable hero, so the top-priority ring to equip is the Ring of Resurrection. Equipping the Ring of Authority is also effective to prevent him from being defeated in one hit by HP Alteration and similar attacks. The ideal setup is Ring of Resurrection + Ring of Authority.

Transcendence Guide

Li - Recommeded Skill Enhancement

Skill	Priority/Effects
▲Awakening Skill	：Enhance if You Use It Increases Effect: Buff Duration Reduction becomes 3 turn(s). Increases Effect: Confusion Hit Count Boost to 4 time(s).

Awakening requires all skills to be enhanced beforehand, and those enhancements carry over after Awakening. This means that after Awakening, only the Awakening Skill needs to be enhanced.

Recommended Skill Enhancement Before Awakening

Skill	Rating / Skill Enhancement Effect
▲Basic Attack (Pre-Awake)	：Fine Unenhanced Increases Damage: To 60% of Physical Attack plus 14% of the caster's Max HP.
▲Skill 1 (Pre-Awake)	：Enhance if Possible Increases Turns: Physical Damage Immunity duration becomes 3 turn(s).
▲Skill 2 (Pre-Awake)	：Enhance if Possible Increases Effect: HP Alteration to 11%.
▲Passive Skill (Pre-Awake)	：Enhance if You Have Spare Resources Increases Chance: Counterattack chance becomes 38%.

These priorities are based on using the Hero before Awakening. If you prioritize Awakening, max all skills without hesitation.
