PVE PVP Offense Defense Prelim Boss
Huang Long.jpg Huang Long
Yellow Purple Yellow Purple 4 3 2 1 1
Pros
  • High AGI, incredible resistances and decent bulk make him a coveted PvE support demon.
  • Five Elements walls every magical demon without Pierce, including Almighty mages such as Mother Harlot, Trumpeter, and Demeter.
  • Luster Candy in Yellow gives him even more support utility in buff control. Purple provides him Speedster, giving him full flexibility over which skills to transfer.
  • Trivializes Brands of Sin Stages 10, opening up brand farming on Auto.
  • If Panel 4, any team member in a state of magic repel takes 20% less magic damage (Almighty is reduced by another 15%) and deals 20% more magic damage. The defensive portion is essentially a magic version of Beelzebub (Human), while the offensive portion helps Huang Long act as an offensive support.
  • Huang Long Gaming
Cons
  • Pierce bypasses Five Elements.
  • Five Elements can be removed through Makara Break, most notably by P3 Samael.
  • When Five Elements blocks an attack, it's broken - meaning only the first attack is blocked, so if the enemy has a chance to attack again in the same turn, that attack will pass.
  • Very MP hungry, needs Divine Brands or Mana Aid to function well.
Notes
  • Yellow AI has issues on auto as it will sometimes cast Luster Candy when you want to be spamming Five Elements instead. Due to this, Yellow is mostly recommended for Manual Play, and Purple for Auto-ing.
  • Has a small niche in offense teams to block My Harvest!.
  • Skills like Makaraka Shift should work with his panel 4, giving the same effect as caveman
  • Huang Long Gaming

Huang Long's natural role is as Support. Incredible AG with decent HP, MATK.

With Five Elements as an exclusive move, it repels all Mag Attacks (including Almighty Almighty). This is very useful in early to mid-game PVE content, but after that, most enemies will pierce through it.

He is a great choice as a support Magic attacker.

PvE Builds

For PVE, survivability is a must. Huang Long comes with natural RS to 4 magic elements and Null Light.

Brand Priorities:

  1. Hp% LIFE, DIVINE
  2. MATK% LIFE, DIVINE
  3. PDEF+

3 Set: LIFE, DIVINE

2 Set: SPEED, HEAL, WARD

Mitama:

  1. Vi (20/20)
  2. Ma (20/20)
  3. Ag (10/20)

Good Archetypes:

  • Purple Purple : Speedster, compliments Huang Long's high Agi. This is great to guarantee a first turn Five Elements.
  • Yellow Yellow : Luster Candy, great to buff up the team. Best for Late Game PVE (In AUTO Mode, the AI might prioritize this over Five Elements, which can be bad)

Skills:

EX: With Huang Long decent HP, it is great to compliment it with HP% Brands, however he has low resistances. Huang Long can spam Five Elements as long as he is alive, a good support skill to "sustain" the team in case there are physical attackers or Repel Breakers is a must in the late game.

Other Builds include nuker: instead of a survivability build, Huang Long makes for a decent Magic attacker.
