Paladins OB54: New Damage Champ Lian – These are Her Cards
Lian has three legendary cards that enhance either her ultimate skill, her mobility ability, or her automatic attack. Legendary cards are particularly powerful adjustments in your deck build and establish your strategy.
Lian’s Legendary Cards
The card “Zeal” is automatically unlocked. The other two cards can be unlocked for 10,000 essence each.
Lian is a Standard Champion – Still, This Lady Packs a Punch!
Leya says: I’m now so used to many quirky and unique champions from Paladins that a “standard champion” like Lian is almost a surprise. She is not a fluttering battle helicopter like Willo and does not wield a flame sword like Zhin.
Lian is indeed the sexy lady with the rifle.
Still, the princess packs a punch and looks like a lot of fun. Those who want to master Lian must primarily practice good positioning. A particular strength is that Lian can hit multiple enemies at once and thus deals a lot of damage. She will play similarly to Cassie, perhaps a bit more aggressively. To utilize Lian’s full damage, you need to get close to the enemies. Shot combinations with Grace will make up a large part of her play style.

Lian comes to Paladins with patch OB 54 and is already on the test server.
Lian is one of the recently leaked champions who is now coming to Paladins. Still missing are the owl and Astro, the galactic champ.
