Who is Longgang? An Overview

Best Weapons for Longgang

Choosing the right weapon is half the battle. While his signature Broadblade is obviously his best-in-slot, there are some killer 4-star options that get the job done without breaking the bank.

  • Verdant Summit (5-Star): This is his signature weapon and, no surprise, it's tailor-made for him. It provides a massive Crit DMG secondary stat and a passive that boosts his Havoc DMG and ATK% after using his Resonance Skill. It's the whole enchilada.

  • Lustrous Razor (4-Star): An incredible 4-star option from the battle pass. It offers a solid Crit Rate substat and boosts all damage when you have a shield. Works great if you're running him with a shielder like Taoqi.

  • Helios Cleaver (4-Star): The best free-to-play craftable option, hands down. It has an ATK% substat and its passive grants a stacking ATK bonus on hit. It’s a reliable workhorse that performs surprisingly well.

The Cornerstone: Echoes & Stat Priority

This is where the magic really happens. For Longgang, you're going to want to focus on a single Echo set to maximize his Havoc damage. Don't sweat it if you don't have perfect pieces yet; just focus on getting the right main stats first.

  • Echo Set: The Sun-sinking Eclipse 5-piece set is non-negotiable. It provides a 10% Havoc DMG bonus for the 2-piece effect, and the 5-piece effect grants another Havoc DMG bonus after using a Basic or Heavy Attack. It's a perfect fit for his playstyle.

  • Main Echo: Your primary Echo should be the Lampylumen Myriad. Its active skill deals a huge burst of Havoc damage and, more importantly, provides a 12% Havoc DMG bonus and a 12% Basic Attack DMG bonus for 15 seconds. It's a massive buff that aligns perfectly with his damage window.

For stats, you'll want to prioritize Crit above all else. Here’s a simple breakdown:

Echo Cost Main Stat Priority
COST 4 Crit Rate or Crit DMG (aim for a 1:2 ratio)
COST 3 Havoc DMG Bonus
COST 1 ATK%

For substats, your priority should be: Crit Rate > Crit DMG > ATK% > Skill DMG > ATK. Getting a few good substat rolls can make a world of difference.

Best Team Compositions for Longgang

You can't just throw Longgang in a team and hope for the best; he needs solid support to truly pop off. His best teams enable his selfish DPS playstyle with off-field buffs and healing.

  1. The Hypercarry Standard:

    • Longgang (Main DPS): The star of the show, on-field dealing damage.

    • Verina (Healer/Buffer): Verina is simply the best support in the game right now. She provides team-wide healing and a crucial All-Type DMG Deepen buff with her Outro Skill. She keeps Longgang alive and makes him hit even harder.

    • Mortefi (Off-field DPS/Buffer): Mortefi is a fantastic partner. His Resonance Liberation provides coordinated attacks, and his Outro Skill buffs the next character's Heavy Attack DMG, which is perfect for Longgang's enhanced state. This trio is an absolute powerhouse.

  2. Comfort & Survivability Option:

    • Longgang (Main DPS)

    • Baizhi (Healer/Buffer): A great alternative to Verina, providing healing and a damage buff with her Outro Skill.

    • Taoqi (Shielder/Sub-DPS): If you find yourself needing more protection, Taoqi is your girl. Her shield provides great interruption resistance, and her Outro Skill can group enemies for Longgang to cleave through. 🤔

Skill Priority and Forte Circuit

To maximize your resource investment, level up Longgang's talents in this order:

  1. Forte Circuit (Core Passive): This is his bread and butter, enhancing his Heavy Attack. Leveling this up provides the biggest damage increase.

  2. Resonance Liberation (Ultimate): A huge burst of damage that you'll be using off cooldown.

  3. Basic Attack: Since his enhanced state scales off his Heavy Attack, this is still very important.

  4. Resonance Skill: Primarily used to generate 'Dragon's Ire' stacks, its damage is secondary.

For his Forte Circuit Sequences (think constellations), his Sequence 1 (S1) is a massive power spike, allowing him to gain 'Dragon's Ire' stacks more easily. If you're going for duplicates, stopping at S1 provides incredible value. His S6 is, of course, bonkers, but S1 is the most important milestone for most players. Now go out there and show the Tacet Discords who's boss! 😉
