- Analysis:
• Lianshi is one of very few characters whose entire kit isn't bound by generating combos for Flurry damage. With Weapon 2's combination of Cyclone, Slash, and Thunder, her elemental game is one of the most consistent as a clean hit will pretty much guarantee a OHKO. Weapon 1 is a combination of Cyclone and her Musou 1 offense in one. Double Cyclone setup is recommended to take advantage of her Switch Attack (SA) buffs and to make sure she never loses an Affinity matchup. When playing as her, instead of aiming her Normal Strings straight at her target, utilize her Normal Strings to knock back unwanted nearby enemies while trying to aim away from her target to prevent them from being knocked/pushed back.
• Aside from being stationary, the one thing preventing her from being better than she is already is that the number of elemental activation on her C4 seems to be dependent on the number of enemies present (this theory isn't conclusive, but from testing, this seems to be the reason). While rare, if she is presented with a literal 1v1 standoff against an officer, C4 will only activate one element. Vice versa, if there is a crowd in front of her, she will sweep them clean.
- Movesets:
• C4 everything. C4 can be blocked, but the projectile still travels through enemies. C4 contains multiple elemental activation and can be shot safely from far away without losing much of its consistency, makes it one of the best elemental charge attacks in the game (8:44, Red Hare blocked the view... but Lianshi shoots far enough to avoid Zhang Jiao's Storm Rush). Since she is stationary, her Rage usage is strictly used to help her perform C4 without stagger (usually from projectiles).
• Musou 1 is an unblockable Musou. With Weapon 1 setup that has a maxed out base Attack of 62, this Musou deals just enough damage threshold to OHKO most variants of regular officers in late game stages (6:02). This unblockable Musou is fantastic for crowd clearing and with Roar, she will sustain for quite awhile.
• Switch Attack (SA) is a nifty attack that buffs Lianshi's Attack Speed (equivalent to Velocity 10) and Movement Speed by a considerable amount. Having a double Cyclone (elemental setup) will allow her to take advantage of the Attack Speed buff better. The bonus Movement Speed buff also allows her to play the "keep away" game even better.
