Lian – Excellent control character. Possesses two control skills and great damage. Versatile in relation to her team and can be a great addition to both physical and magical teams. Lien has very good defensive stats and excellent damage parameters, but lacks breakthrough magic defense, which is compensated by good control.

Tips on the Lian
Skills Upgrade
Seduction – A must-have. Excellent control skill.
Hypnotic Orb – must be cast if Lien is a damage hero on the team. If he’s just a controlling hero (against Kira, for example), swing it if you have some gold to spare.
Sparks of Sense. – Not recommended because it can charge the enemy Isaacs, unlike the second skill. If Lien is a situational hero in a pack, it’s good if you have gold.
Calm – A must-have skill. Great control skill against a character with massive damage.
Skins
Since the main feature of this character is Control, it means that the first thing you need to do for Lian is to pump up her survivability. After all, the longer she lives, the more control she can give.
The priority is to swing the Sun Shape 
for Armor, and the next Demonic Shape 
for Protection from Magic. If your server has a lot of magic teams, then first swing the Demonic Shape, and the second the Sun Shape. The third is pumped the Base Look 
on Intellect, and the last in turn – the Romantic Shape 
and the Beach Shape 
on Magical Attack.
- The first is not the Intelligence Shape, because Cornelius can kill Lien with the Monolith.
- The Shape for Magical Attack swings last due to the fact that Lien is primarily a Control character. In a properly designed pack she needs to survive, not deal damage. There will be other characters on the team to deal damage.
If Lian is acting as a damage character, then the recommendation is as follows:
- The Beach Appearance.
- The Romantic Appearance
- The Basic Appearance
- The Sunny Look
- The Demonic Appearance
Symbols
The priority of character improvement is as follows:
1. Health
2. Armor
3. Protection against magic
4. Intellect
5. Magic Attack
If Lian is acting as a damage character (or Mage Pack), then the recommendation is as follows:
1. Magic Attack
2. Intellect
3. Health
4. Armor
5. Protection against magic
Artifacts
- If Lian is in the physical team and there is no Healer in the pack – you can not pump the artifact at all.
- If Lian is on the physical team and there is a Healer in the pack – Heal to 3 stars, stardom is pumped after the second artifact.
- If Lian is on the magic team – Heal to 3 stars in priority, Stellarness is pumped equal with the second artifact.
- If Lian is on the physical team, Stardom is pumped with priority.
- If Lian is on the Magic Team – Stardom is evenly pumped with the first artifact after he gets 3 stars.
– Swings last.
Conclusion
Excellent control character, allowing to control different heroes with massive damage. Has pretty good defensive parameters, but requires a guise for that. She’s versatile to the team, which is an advantage. If you decide to swing Lian, she only needs heroes that don’t deal massive damage so as not to knock down control. The following heroes are recommended:
For the physical team, the recommended ones are:
- Ju;
- Ismail;
- Qing Mao;
- Elmir;
- Yasmin;
- Fox;
From the tanks:
- Chubba;
- Marcus (In packs where he acts as a tank);
- Ziri
For the magic team, recommended:
- Phobos – Great addition to Lian with a huge one-target damage and a Magic Defense Artifact;
- Arachne – Extra control to the team and, most importantly, an Armor Piercing Artifact;
- Cornelius – Deals damage to single targets, gives protection from magic. But it will require a character with armor piercing and is only used against magic packs;
- Celeste – The perfect complement to Magic damage and single-target damage;
Of tanks:
- Chubba
- Astaroth
With the right selection of heroes, Lian will be able to reach his full potential as a control hero. Not recommended for beginners, as it requires the right team, otherwise Lian’s skills will be poorly effective.
Team with Lian (Lian-pack)
A time-tested, effective team based on Lian, which is still relevant today. The team itself is mostly easy to assemble, very flexible in relation to the enemy team and perfectly suited for both defense, and attack. The main advantage of such a team is pure damage and control. The team is recommended for beginner players. In this article we will look at the main heroes that ,will fit in such a pack, recommendations for pumping and general tips that will help when building a team.
Advantages of the team
- It is easy to collect and improve to the maximum star most of the necessary heroes for the team, especially Lian herself;
- The team is relevant throughout the game;
- Huge net damage that doesn’t charge Isaak;
- Lots of control (Not always the enemy Sebastian will be able to block all effects);
- Flexibility in builds, allowing you to pick the right heroes against any team;
Disadvantages of the team
- Vulnerability to Rufus (Problem solved by adding Morrigan to the team);
- Some difficulties in Campaign, Asgard (Compared to other teams);
- Heavy dependence on pets. Without some of them, the team will not perform well;
- Enemy Axel puts the entire team out of control.
General team tips
You can collect Lienpack from the very beginning of the game. The only thing that will be missing is Lian, which you can get from level 50 of your team. Nevertheless, before getting Lian, you can already start swinging the heroes we need and prepare your team to get the last/pre-last hero. Most variants of this pack are played through Celeste, which greatly enhances magic damage with her artifact, and in attacking variants it sometimes replaces a full-fledged healer. That’s why the first artifact of Celeste swings in priority (if there is such a hero in the team). Both in terms of stars and levels. There are several tank options: from Astaroth, which will help with his resurrection against the same Yasmin, to Andvari, which is used quite successfully against Karhopacs.
If you play without donation / without Vip 1 / did not get Celeste at the beginning of the game – there is an effective command through Arachna. In that case, the stones for Arachna must be collected at the very beginning of the game before the absolute star.
Rocking by symbols, runes, gift of the elements, etc. standard. Until the orange +1 pump the whole team evenly, after that focus only on Lian (and Nebula). Tank continue to pump if he starts to die too quickly. If you have Martha on your team, you can leave her on the orange rank for a long time.
Heroes that are useful for your team: Arachna (we get her at the beginning of the game), Phobos (Excellent damage addition, allows you to kill the enemy main shooter), Celeste (One of the best characters for such a team), Jorgen ( you can get quickly, extremely effective because of his skill).
Extremely not recommended to use with heroes who have mass damage, as Lian’s enchantment will be knocked down.
Exception:
- The enemy team has Axel, so the enchantment will be knocked down anyway;
- The enemy team has Sebastian;
- You are not playing through control, but through pure damage.
Heroes on the team
- Andvari is an excellent hero against Carhopacs. On such a team he acts as a Tank.
- Aurora is an excellent tank with the only disadvantage – her skill knocks out Lien’s control. In case it’s not critical against a certain magic team, use Aurora.
- Astaroth is a classic tank with resurrection. Very often used in Lian-pack.
- Celeste is a very strong hero for such a team. Because of her artifact she is able to multiply her net damage, and under Biscuit she shows excellent results against Sebastian.
- Nebula is one of the most popular heroes at the moment. It is recommended to put her in a team between Celeste and Lian. If no control is placed on the team, Nebula’s orb combines perfectly in time with the damage of Lian’s second ability.
- Lian is a very strong mage with control and pure damage. Able to handle an entire enemy team by herself.
- Martha is one of the best healers in the game. In the classic version of Leenpak, she is always present in defense. Sometimes replaced by a situational hero in the attack.
- Helios is a mage against the Crits. He’s a situational hero, especially effective against Yasmin.
- Amira is a very strong mage with control and high damage. Excellent at supporting. Can act as an alternative to Helios.
- Arachna is a control hero who fits perfectly into such a team. One of the best uses of Arachna.
- Jorgen is a classic control hero. His first skill is a great complement to control, allowing him to keep the enemy team either in control or without energy.
- Phobos – A Hero that deals damage to a single target without knocking control off the rest of the team. Because of its mechanics, it usually hits the main shooter/fighter, burning out his energy.
- Jhu is an excellent hero, dealing a huge amount of damage. Used in teams like this to kill backline heroes. Is situational, as he won’t be able to kill the enemy Martha later on. Used if the last enemy heroes are weak.
- Ishmael – The classic attacking hero, popular in the old days. Used in such a team, as it deals a lot of damage to a single target.
- Elmir – Another situational hero, dealing a lot of damage to a single target. Excellent at distributing Karh’s and Dante’s damage because of his clones.
- Morrigan is the hero used in this team against Rufus (Rarely, Astaroth) instead of Martha.

If the article says, for example, “swings to maximum after Tank, Lian, Nebula, Phobos, Amira,” then we’re talking about having at least one of these heroes on your main team, not all four of them.
Pets
Axel – a must-have pet for such a team. When distributing damage, Lian uses his fourth skill even if he hits a tank.
Albus – used less often and most often in attacking teams. Charged from Lian’s net damage.
It is recommended to use only Albus as a patron for Lian in any case.
Best Teams with Lian
Astaroth, Celeste, Nebula, Lian, Martha is a classic Lienpack variant. Great against most teams. Huge damage and good survivability.
Aurora, Celeste, Nebula, Lian, Martha – Astaroth’s replacement for Aurora. Justifies itself more against magical teams and against the Undead.
Andvari, Celeste, Nebula, Lian, Martha is a classic variant against Karhopacs and the Faceless.
Aurora, Celeste, Nebula, Lian, Helios is an attacking team option against Yasmin.
Aurora, Arachna, Celeste, Jorgen, Lian are an excellent Lienpack option through control. With a pumped Mara (on Arachna) and Bisquite (on Celeste) they are good against Sebastians.
Aurora/Astaroth/Andvari, Arachna, Lian, Phobos, Martha are not a bad team with good control and damage.
Astaroth, Amira, Nebula, Lian, Martha/Celeste – huge magic and pure damage.
Astaroth, Elmir, Nebula, Lian, Martha.
Aurora, Ishmael, Nebula, Lian, Martha.
Andvari, Jhu, Nebula, Lian, Martha.
Andvari, Jhu, Nebula, Lian, Phobos.
Aurora, Morrigan, Amira, Nebula, Lian.
Aurora, Morrigan, Celeste, Nebula, Lian
More often than not, the main unchanging heroes on the team are: Tank, Lian, Nebula, Martha/Celeste. The fifth hero is situational. Against Yasmin, you can put Amira/Helios. Against Karhov, Yasmin, Dante, Jhu it often helps to add Phobos to your team. Rufus is handled by Morrigan. If the Enemy Team does not have Sebastian, Jorgen can also be useful.
