Skill Analysis of Loong

Passive Skill: Hidden Dragon

Loong’s passive allows him to attach Dragon Souls to his primary and secondary swords, enhancing his attacks with elemental effects. Each skill use grants a Dragon Soul mark, enhancing effects and damage based on the attached Dragon Soul type.

Hidden Dragon Effects: Collect up to 3 Dragon Soul marks. The next Basic Attack will spend all marks and unleash the effect of each mark’s Dragon Soul. Hits have reduced damage if the same target is hit multiple times.

Skill 1: Flaming Palm

Loong charges up a strong wave of sword energy and fires it at up to three targets in front of him. Fire Dragon Soul affixes onto the blade, granting additional bonus true damage and enhanced basic attacks, making this useful as a tool for burst and clearing groups.

Skill 2: Downpour

This skill unleashes water-based sword energy, damaging and healing Loong when it hits targets. The Water Dragon Soul effect attaches to his sword, enhancing Basic Attacks with life regeneration and mana recovery, especially useful in prolonged engagements and sustaining Loong during fights.

Skill 3: Riding the Wind

Riding the Wind releases wind energy in a wave, damaging up to three targets and knocking them back, then giving Loong a speed boost. Wind Dragon Soul attaches to his sword, giving him movement speed, and knocks back with Basic Attacks, ideal for fast engagement or fleeing pressure.

Skill 4: Infinite Vastness

Loong ascends to his true dragon form, becoming untargetable for 4.5 seconds. Upon diving, he deals physical damage to enemies in his path, slowing them and applying Dread. After landing, he gains attack speed and range, and his True Dragon Sword attacks additional targets. This ultimate allows him to disrupt enemies, deal a good amount of damage, and take control in large-scale fights.

• Skill 2: Downpour – Maximize first for sustainability and consistent damage.
• Skill 1: Flaming Palm – Upgrade second to increase burst potential.

Burst priority targets using Skill 1: Flaming Palm may be of help and be sure your Dragon Souls stay up to get the full effects from Basic Attacks. Take objectives, try to push the farm lane, and prepare for a role-swapping between damage and support as his skills set flexibility.
