Support
4: Back-row position maximises Loong’s damage output while keeping him safe from front-line targeting. Position 4 lets him build Combo Strike stacks through normal attacks before unleashing his focus skill burst.
3: Alternative back-row slot. Slightly more exposed than position 4 but still protected from front-line targeting. Use when position 4 is occupied by a higher-priority DPS hero.
5: Fallback position. Loong still functions as a damage dealer from position 5, but this slot is typically reserved for supports like Harman or healers like Jessie.
Loong is an early-game Wildlings single-target damage dealer whose Ascending Dragon Stick stacks Combo Strike on normal attacks and consumes all stacks on his focus skill for massive bonus damage (+40% WPN ATK DMG per stack, up to 3 stacks). His Soaring Dragon Stick provides passive team utility with +5% DMG Mitigation and +5% max HP for the lineup. With his Dragon-Headed Nunchucks UW granting a shield on focus skill use and stacking +12% DMG per shield gained (up to 3 stacks), Loong delivers concentrated burst damage while maintaining moderate survivability.
Pros & Cons
- Ascending Dragon Stick stacks Combo Strike on normal attacks (up to 3 stacks), then consumes all stacks on focus skill for +40% WPN ATK DMG per stack — a potent burst window.
- Dragon-Headed Nunchucks UW grants a shield equal to 180% WPN ATK on focus skill use, plus +12% DMG per shield gained (stacks 3 times for 2 rounds), providing both survivability and escalating damage.
- Soaring Dragon Stick passively grants the entire lineup +5% DMG Mitigation and +5% max HP, providing team utility beyond pure damage.
- Cloud-Patterned Nunchucks (Elite UW) grants all teammates +15% WPN DMG, making Loong a team-wide damage amplifier even at lower UW investment.
- Available from Season S0, making him one of the earliest accessible Wildlings DPS heroes.
- No exclusive gear limits his scaling ceiling compared to heroes with exclusive set bonuses.
- Low base VIT (299) makes him extremely fragile — easily killed by AOE damage or random targeting skills before he can deliver his Combo Strike burst.
- Outclassed by Amum (X6) and other late-game carries, relegating Loong to a transitional role that becomes obsolete in Dimensions content.
Skills
Deals some DMG equal to 144/164/182/202/240% WPN ATK to 1 enemy target.
Load +10/12/14/16/20% in resource gathering.
The hero’s DMG Mitigation +2.5/3/3.5/4/5% and max HP +2.5/3/3.5/4/5%.
In normal attacks, applies to himself a layer of "Combo Strike" effect (stackable for up to 3 layers). When a Focus skill is cast, all layers of Combo Strike will be consumed, each layer dealing some DMG equal to 20/24/28/32/40% WPN ATK additionally.
WPN DMG Bonus +2.5/3/3.5/4/5%, and HP +2.5/3/3.5/4/5%.
Gear
Resolute is the priority first slot — Loong’s 299 VIT makes him one of the most fragile heroes in the game, and death immunity ensures he survives to deliver his burst. The second slot should be Reaper for single-target focus skill scaling, or Apocalypse for crit-based burst amplification.
Death immunity 4-piece is critical for a hero with 299 base VIT. Without Resolute, Loong can be killed before delivering his Combo Strike burst. The survival insurance ensures at least one full focus skill rotation.
#1 Best
Crit Rate and Crit DMG bonuses amplify Loong’s burst window. When all 3 Combo Strike stacks are consumed, a critical hit on the enhanced focus skill deals devastating damage.
#2
Additional single-target damage scaling. Stacks with Reaper for maximum focus skill damage output. Use when Resolute is on another hero and Loong has sufficient protection.
#3
Multi-hit and penetration bonuses. Less synergistic than Reaper or Death for Loong’s single-hit burst focus skill, but provides general offensive value as a fallback.
#4
Single-target damage amplification. Reaper’s focus skill damage bonus directly scales Loong’s Combo Strike burst, which deals all its damage through the focus skill. Best offensive pairing with Resolute.
#5
Loong follows the standard STR DPS substat pattern — offensive stats on weapon and jewelry, defensive stats on helmet and body. His extremely low VIT makes survival substats on helmet and body more critical than for other DPS heroes.
DMG Bonus, STR, Crit Rate
DMG Bonus and STR directly scale Nunchucks and Combo Strike burst damage. Crit Rate amplifies the single massive hit from consuming 3 Combo Strike stacks.
HP%, AGI, VIT
HP% and VIT are critical for compensating Loong’s extremely low base VIT (299). AGI helps him act earlier to build and consume Combo Strike stacks before enemy intervention.
DEF, VIT, DMG Mitigation
Pure defense to keep Loong alive. His 299 VIT makes every point of defensive substats disproportionately valuable for survival.
DMG Bonus, STR, Skill Effect Enhancement
DMG Bonus and STR maximise focus skill burst damage. Skill Effect Enhancement boosts Ascending Dragon Stick’s +40% per-stack multiplier.

Marlen provides AOE pressure from position 2, and Elaine stacks additional debuffs from position 5. All 5 Wildlings for the +20% faction bonus.
Beast 
Buri’s damage distribution makes total team HP the critical resource. Metallic Dragon’s HP, DEF, DMG Mitigation, and Crit Immunity maximise team durability to keep Link of Life and Frosty Coffin’s crit buffs active as long as possible.
Primary tank. Guardian STR casts Link of Life at battle start and provides death immunity. Frosty Coffin UW grants all linked allies +15% crit rate and +30% crit DMG, directly amplifying Loong’s Combo Strike burst.
Shield support. Staunch Will shields all allies. Alpha Bless provides team-wide Crit Immunity and round 1 shields. Guardian INT scales shields with rounds elapsed. Chimera Anchor UW deals chip damage per shield event.
Primary carry. Buri’s Frosty Coffin +15% crit rate and +30% crit DMG massively amplify the Combo Strike burst. Link of Life distributes damage away from Loong’s fragile 299 VIT frame. Reaper boosts focus skill damage.
Cursed Scythe reduces all enemy stats by 12% per cast, softening targets for Loong’s burst. Skeleton exclusive gear debuffs the three highest-stat enemies at battle start. Resolute provides death immunity.

Frosty Coffin’s +15% crit rate and +30% crit DMG massively amplify Loong’s Combo Strike burst window. Harman provides shields and chip damage, Elaine debuffs enemy stats, and Eva adds AOE pressure with stat reduction. All 5 Wildlings for the +20% faction bonus.
Synergies
Harman’s Staunch Will shields all allies every focus skill cast. Dragon-Headed Nunchucks UW grants +12% DMG per shield gained (stacks 3), meaning Harman’s frequent shields stack Loong’s damage bonus rapidly. Chimera Anchor UW adds chip damage per shield event.
Marlen’s AOE sandstorm mechanics soften multiple enemies simultaneously, bringing targets into kill range for Loong’s single-target Combo Strike burst. Both are Wildlings, contributing to the faction bonus for +ATK/HP scaling.
Elaine’s Cursed Scythe reduces all enemy STR, INT, and AGI by 12% per cast. Lower enemy defensive stats make Loong’s Combo Strike burst more effective, while lower offensive stats reduce the damage Loong’s fragile frame must survive.
Eva’s Corvine Curse reduces a random enemy’s all stats by 8% each round. Combined with Elaine’s Cursed Scythe, the compounding stat reductions make targets progressively easier for Loong to burst down. Soul Split shares Eva’s stats with Loong if he has the highest STR.
Buri’s Link of Life distributes 50% of incoming damage across all heroes, directly protecting Loong’s fragile 299 VIT frame from burst kills. Frosty Coffin’s +15% crit rate and +30% crit DMG massively amplify Loong’s Combo Strike burst window.
Interactions with other heroes’ ultimate weapons.
Every time a teammate gains a shield, Harman deals 50% TAC ATK damage to a random enemy (up to 5x per round). Dragon-Headed Nunchucks UW grants Loong a shield on every focus skill cast, triggering Chimera Anchor chip damage. The chip damage softens targets into kill range for Loong’s Combo Strike burst.
Frosty Coffin grants all linked allies +15% crit rate and +30% crit DMG while Link of Life is active. Loong’s Combo Strike consumes 3 stacks for +120% WPN ATK DMG on a single hit — a critical strike on this enhanced hit deals devastating damage.
Nirvana reduces the highest enemy INT/STR/AGI/LUK by 15% on alternating rounds, weakening the enemy’s best heroes. Combined with Loong’s focus on single-target damage, the stat reduction makes high-priority targets easier to burst down.

Counters
- AOE Damage lineups (Hard Counter) — Loong’s 299 base VIT makes him one of the most fragile heroes in the game. AOE damage from heroes like Heytex, Benson, or Marlen hits the entire back row, and Loong often dies before he can build and consume Combo Strike stacks.
- Casino (Hard Counter) — Casino’s Double Down drains 200 Focus from all enemies, directly delaying Loong’s focus skill activation. Since Loong’s entire damage output is concentrated in the focus skill burst (consuming Combo Strike stacks), Focus drain effectively neutralises him.
- Single-Target threats (Soft Counter) — Loong’s Combo Strike burst deals massive single-target damage when fully stacked (+120% WPN ATK DMG). Against lineups relying on a single key hero, Loong can eliminate the threat quickly before it becomes effective.
- Low-DEF targets (Soft Counter) — Loong’s burst damage is front-loaded into a single enhanced focus skill hit. Targets with low DEF or DMG Mitigation take the full brunt of the Combo Strike bonus, making Loong effective against glass-cannon lineups.
Rating
B Tier. Loong is a serviceable early-game Wildlings DPS who fills the single-target damage slot before stronger options like Amum become available. His Combo Strike mechanic delivers solid burst damage when fully stacked, and his passive +5% DMG Mitigation / +5% HP provides minor team utility. He is rated B because his damage ceiling is significantly lower than late-game carries, he has no exclusive gear to scale with, and his kit lacks the snowball mechanics that define S-tier carries.
