| 5s | hey everyone it's chef of the dead and |
|---|---|
| 7s | welcome to the noaca 101 for Liam Leu |
| 10s | this character is packing some super |
| 12s | unique abilities and he is sure to make |
| 14s | a splash in The Meta let's get right |
| 16s | into it by taking a look at his two |
| 17s | skills starting with magnet repel magnet |
| 20s | repel can be used under attack and when |
| 22s | Liam activates it he knocks back nearby |
| 24s | enemies and hops backward however this |
| 26s | is not just any old combo breaker and |
| 29s | that's because of this right here this |
| 30s | is the first ability in the game that |
| 32s | allows activation immediately after |
| 34s | getting countered and it means that Liam |
| 36s | is able to avoid all subsequent damage |
| 39s | typical combo breakers can only be used |
| 41s | after taking the first hit of a counter |
| 42s | punish so this new skill is especially |
| 45s | good against single hit punishes like |
| 47s | nunchucks great swword and pul sword the |
| 49s | last aspect of the skill to keep in mind |
| 51s | is this where Simply Having the skill |
| 53s | equipped will give you the passive |
| 55s | benefit of your weapon dropping being |
| 57s | delayed after being countered what this |
| 59s | implies is that if if you choose to |
| 61s | activate your skill after being |
| 62s | countered not only do you avoid the |
| 64s | following damage but you also get to |
| 66s | keep your weapon this is a very strong |
| 68s | ability and I can certainly recommend |
| 70s | picking it if you're not sure which of |
| 71s | his skills to use but with that in mind |
| 74s | let's move on to his next skill that has |
| 76s | a totally different use case magnet |
| 78s | attract magnet attract unleashes |
| 80s | magnetic power in the aimed Direction |
| 82s | pulling hit enemies a certain distance |
| 84s | toward Liam this can act as a combo |
| 86s | starter or a combo extender so I can |
| 89s | definitely see players that love combos |
| 91s | leaning towards this skill it has a very |
| 93s | fast startup that grants you instant |
| 95s | blue Focus so you won't be able to be |
| 96s | staggered by light attacks and it has a |
| 98s | very forgiving hit box that allows you |
| 100s | to land it even if you're a decent |
| 102s | margin off Target the skill will hit the |
| 104s | target at a distance of up to 12 M but |
| 106s | since there's a limited distance that |
| 108s | the target actually gets pulled you'll |
| 110s | only be able to make contact with that |
| 112s | Target to start a combo if you activate |
| 114s | it within 10 m once you land it though |
| 117s | you can combo as if it was a fresh |
| 118s | stagger so no need to go directly into |
| 120s | an uppercut or anything like that the |
| 123s | fast activation of this skill means it |
| 124s | works really well as a combo extender |
| 127s | even being able to grab the opponent out |
| 129s | of dual blades vertical Focus there are |
| 131s | tons of variations to extend combos with |
| 133s | this skill basically if you have a full |
| 135s | second before the enemy can dodge you |
| 138s | probably have time to activate magnet |
| 139s | attract and flow back into another combo |
| 142s | the skill also has some defensive |
| 144s | capability being that it does have that |
| 146s | instant blue focus on Startup by that I |
| 148s | mean it can function as a soft combo |
| 150s | breaker so if someone goes for a combo |
| 152s | that is soft true such as this combo |
| 154s | right here with dual blades you can |
| 156s | activate your skill to interrupt and |
| 158s | reverse the aggression this skill cannot |
| 160s | be activated while under attack like the |
| 162s | first skill though so you will have to |
| 164s | play more carefully but there is |
| 165s | tremendous value in having a combo |
| 167s | starter like this moving on to his first |
| 169s | ultimate we have Metal Fusion and let me |
| 172s | tell you this is one of the most |
| 173s | versatile SS in the game activating it |
| 175s | will knock back nearby enemies consuming |
| 178s | 40% rage and entering Liam's gold Golden |
| 180s | State this lasts for 30 seconds and |
| 182s | modifies your skill to fire an oric |
| 184s | sword in the aim Direction at the cost |
| 186s | of Rage wherever the oric sword lands it |
| 189s | creates a sword Zone and will apply The |
| 191s | Binding effect to anyone it hits while |
| 193s | an enemy is bound you can take the |
| 195s | opportunity to initiate a combo or |
| 197s | teleport to the sword zone or actually |
| 199s | both teleporting to the sword Zone |
| 201s | creates a knockback effect that upon hit |
| 203s | provides a substantial amount of healing |
| 205s | so if you're pretty low Health that can |
| 207s | be a good idea to go for keep in mind |
| 209s | that this healing effect will increase |
| 210s | with weapon Rarity and amount of enemies |
| 212s | hit as far as the combo potential if |
| 215s | you're close enough after firing the |
| 216s | oric sword you can simply initiate a |
| 218s | combo as the enemy is bound but if |
| 220s | you're out of position you can actually |
| 222s | activate the teleport and cut off the |
| 224s | knockback effect with an attack combined |
| 226s | with the fact that you have two of these |
| 227s | swords it makes for some insane combo |
| 229s | potential even though the enemy is |
| 231s | immune to being bound for a period of |
| 233s | time some combos will allow you to stall |
| 235s | long enough in between usages that |
| 237s | you're able to make use of both this |
| 239s | results in some pretty ridiculous combos |
| 241s | that are a ton of fun to go for if you |
| 243s | combine this ultimate with magnet |
| 245s | attract Leon might just have access to |
| 247s | some of the longest combos in the game |
| 249s | but I mentioned earlier that it was also |
| 251s | one of the most versatile ults in the |
| 252s | game and that's because of one special |
| 254s | fact which is that the oric swords can |
| 256s | be fired while under attack so if you |
| 258s | have your ult active you actually have |
| 260s | two combo breakers available to you |
| 262s | which gives the ult some super strong |
| 264s | defense depending on when you use a |
| 266s | sword to break a combo you'll even have |
| 268s | time to start a combo of your own basic |
| 270s | basically just try not to use it when |
| 271s | you're getting uppercutted since you'll |
| 273s | have to fall to the ground before you |
| 274s | can initiate a combo which doesn't give |
| 276s | you quite enough time here's a |
| 278s | relatively simple combo with the long |
| 279s | sword to get you inspired and to show |
| 281s | off a bit of what this ultimate can |
| 284s | do moving on to his second ultimate |
| 286s | Metal Fusion core much like the first |
| 289s | ult activating it will knock back nearby |
| 291s | enemies and transmute Liam into his |
| 293s | Golden State for 30 seconds giving him |
| 295s | access to a unique skill however in this |
| 297s | case all rage is consumed the derived |
| 299s | skill from the all allows you to fire an |
| 301s | oric core which has a completely |
| 303s | different effect than the oric sword |
| 305s | when an enemy is hit by an oric core |
| 307s | they're enveloped transforming them into |
| 309s | a golden ball that Liam takes into |
| 311s | control using your skill again while an |
| 313s | enemy is enveloped will fling the ball |
| 314s | in the aimed Direction dealing damage to |
| 317s | them and the surrounding area this has |
| 319s | some crazy implications when it comes to |
| 320s | making use of environmental hazards like |
| 323s | these wooden signs in celestra that you |
| 325s | can fling enemies directly into for an |
| 327s | immediate stun and massive follow-up |
| 329s | damage the thorny rollers in hollo can |
| 331s | be just as deadly that's a pretty |
| 333s | situational use though and in reality |
| 335s | you're not going to be close enough to |
| 337s | one of those things most of the time so |
| 339s | the main thing you'll probably want to |
| 340s | take advantage of is the fact that the |
| 342s | opponent will automatically break out of |
| 344s | the enveloped state in about 3 seconds |
| 346s | which gives you a moment to land a |
| 348s | pre-charged focus attack when this is |
| 350s | paired with something like dragon roar |
| 351s | it is beyond potent this Al has equally |
| 354s | good defensive potential in the way that |
| 355s | you can use the derived skill while |
| 357s | under attack just like the other one and |
| 359s | much like how you can teleport away from |
| 361s | the opponent with the first ult you can |
| 363s | launch the opponent far away for a |
| 364s | similar effect with this one as for the |
| 366s | glyph setup I like to prioritize these |
| 368s | two trees since they provide bonuses to |
| 371s | rage gain and stamina which are |
| 372s | incredibly important additionally with |
| 374s | Liam's first skill having a very long |
| 376s | cooldown of 28 seconds hitting this |
| 379s | skill cool down reduction node is pretty |
| 381s | important although if you're running the |
| 383s | second skill or simply don't mind that |
| 385s | long cool down you could opt for this |
| 387s | side of the green tree to get a solid |
| 389s | boost to your grapple distance which can |
| 391s | also be really helpful in order to |
| 393s | unlock the full potential of Liam's kit |
| 395s | you will have to complete cultivation |
| 396s | quests that unlock his second skill and |
| 398s | ultimate these quests are pretty easy to |
| 400s | complete though and essentially just |
| 402s | force you to try out his first abilities |
| 404s | and get a feel for the character the |
| 406s | first group of quests will unlock the |
| 408s | second skill and the second group will |
| 410s | unlock the second ultimate after that if |
| 412s | you end up really liking the character |
| 414s | you can complete cultivation all the way |
| 415s | up to the chosen one status for an |
| 417s | exclusive Avatar in general Le is |
| 420s | looking like he'll be really strong in |
| 421s | both solos and team modes with lots of |
| 424s | counterplay potential on both sides shol |
| 426s | for example still stands to be a tough |
| 428s | fight since with only two oric blades to |
| 430s | fire against sh's three blocks it can be |
| 433s | difficult to break through similarly |
| 435s | with Tea's three charges of furin he can |
| 437s | potentially outpace Liam Transformers |
| 440s | represent another counter to him since |
| 442s | transformed opponents or anyone in |
| 443s | ultimate focus for that matter are not |
| 445s | affected by oric blades or core as for |
| 448s | the rest of the roster though Leon more |
| 450s | than holds his own and he can show off |
| 452s | the power of His ultimate to the fullest |
| 453s | extent and I'll see you in game |
