Lifeng is a Physical DPS that can inflict Physical Susceptibility with his Battle Skill. This can only work if the enemy isn't Vulnerable, so make sure to use Lifeng's Battle Skill at the start of your rotations.

When the controlled operator uses their Final Strike on enemies with Physical Susceptibility or Breach, Lifeng grants Link, which increases the DMG dealt by the next Battle Skill or Ultimate used by the team. This makes Lifeng an essential unit for Physical teams.

How to Play Lifeng

As a Teammate

Teammate Gameplay Guide


Lifeng is a character focused on applying Vulnerability from his Battle and Combo Skills. Lifeng also usually uses his Ultimate after his Combo Skill to consume Link and deal massive damage.

Use Battle Skill To Apply Physical Susceptibility

Lifeng's Battle Skill, Turbid Avatar, applies Physical Susceptibility against an enemy that has no Vulnerability initially. This increases the Physical damage they take and can allow him to trigger his own Combo Skill, while also applying a stack of Vulnerability.

Trigger Combo Skill To Gain Link

Trigger Lifeng's Combo Skill by attacking with the Controlled Operator until their Last Strike hits. The Combo Skill will apply Link to the team, and boost the damage of the next Battle Skill or Ultimate used by them.

Use Ultimate For Massive Damage

Lastly, you can use Lifeng's Ultimate after his Combo Skill to apply two stacks of Vulnerability and consume Link to deal massive damage.
