How to play
Zilong is an Assassin who excels in sustained combat. He repeatedly cuts into the fight and pulls out again with a flow of Ultimate into Basic Attack, Skill 2, and Skill 1. As his HP drops, his damage reduction increases, and he gains various bonuses across three tiers based on his remaining HP.
Skill 1 charges forward and grants an empowered Basic Attack, and its Cooldown resets whenever his HP shifts into a different tier. Skill 2 deals damage with consecutive attacks while healing himself. The Ultimate leaps high into the air and Knocks up enemies around the landing point.
Prioritize the Ultimate above all else, and at levels where it isn't available yet, prioritize Skill 2.
Skills (level values & ratios)
Passive: Dragon's Roar：Unleashes potential as HP decreases. Damage reduction and basic skill effects are progressively enhanced based on HP.
"Vigorous Phase" 70% < HP <= 100%: 5% damage reduction.
"Rising Dragon Phase" 40% < HP <= 70%: 10% damage reduction. Skill 1's travel distance increases by 50. Skill 2's dragon spear gains 1 additional hit.
"Soaring Dragon Phase" 0 < HP <= 40%: 20% damage reduction. Skill 1's travel distance increases by 100.
Skill 2's dragon spear gains 1 additional hit.
HP recovery beyond the current enhancement tier is added as a permanent shield (the enhancement tier stays the same). If the combined value of HP and shield reaches the upper limit of the previous tier, that portion of the shield is converted into HP (the enhancement tier reverts to the previous one).
Ultimate: Skysplitter：Leaps into the air and unleashes a thunder strike, dealing 550 (550 + 150% of bonus Physical ATK) physical damage to enemies in range and knocking up enemies in the central area for 1s.
If no hero is hit, the cooldown is reduced by 50%. CD (s) 18→15 / Base Damage 550→1100 / MP Cost 65
Skill 1: Stormpiercer：Pierces the enemy 4 times, dealing 185 (185 + 55% of bonus Physical ATK) physical damage and restoring 60 (60 + 2.5% of bonus Physical ATK) HP with each hit.

"Soaring Dragon Phase": slash damage is doubled. CD (s) 6→5 / Base Damage 185→370 / HP Restore 60→120 / Slash Damage 25→50 / MP Cost 40
Skill 2: Thunderbreaker：Charges forward with the spear, dealing 350 (350 + 120% of bonus Physical ATK) physical damage.
After the charge, the next basic attack is enhanced, dealing an additional 120 (120 + 40% of bonus Physical ATK) physical damage and reducing the enemy's Move Speed by 25% for 2s.
When the passive changes phase, the cooldown of "Thunderbreaker" is reset. CD (s) 7→5.5 / Base Damage 350→700 / Bonus Damage 120→240 / Slow 25%→50% / MP Cost 30
Zilong — Early / Mid / Late Game
Early game: His jungle clear isn't very strong early on, so pair him with hunting skills that make up for his lack of damage in the opening. Learn his basic combo: use Skill 1 to knock enemies up, then follow with the Ultimate for area damage.
Mid game: From outside the enemy's vision, dash in quickly with Skill 1 and the Ultimate to knock enemies up, then chain into Skill 1's enhanced Basic Attack and Skill 2 for damage. After level 4 his jungle clear is very fast, and around the 9-minute mark he can be up to 3 levels ahead of his teammates, giving his damage a big spike.
Late game: In team fights he plays as a half-tank, half-damage dealer. When the enemy targets your tank and uses up their CC, use Skill 3 (Ultimate) to dive the enemy backline, catching their main damage dealers with CC, then chain Skill 2 and Skill 1. Use Skill 1 to escape or to chase down low-HP enemies.
