Loong’s Skills

Passive Skill: Hidden Dragon

Loong’s last two skill attacks determine the elemental Dragon Souls attached to his swords. His primary sword deals 100% Physical Attack damage, while his secondary sword hits nearby enemies for 30%–60% Physical Attack damage.

Each skill use grants 1 Dragon Soul mark (max 3). His next Basic Attack expends all marks, unleashing 1 Dragon Soul per mark. The effects vary based on the primary sword’s Dragon Soul type.

Multiple Dragon Soul hits on the same target deal only 50% damage. Prioritization is given to the same-element Dragon Souls when switching.

    Loong unleashes a wave of sword energy, dealing 300 (+60% extra Physical Attack) physical damage and 75 (+15% extra Physical Attack) true damage to up to 3 targets.
