Guardian Divine Emperor, Liu Bei

Having a higher HP boost is almost always better for staying above 50% - the only exception is enemy gravities. For instance, comparing a team with 17k, 19k, and 21k HP against a boss that hits for 10k, you would respectively have to heal 3k, 1k, or none at all to get above 50% after being hit once. You also have Zhao Yun's percentage heal that scales with HP, and if you use two of him, you can instantly get back above 50% even if you do get hit by a 99% gravity.

Let's also not forget that both Liu Bei and Zhao Yun's actives have powerful offensive components (double orb change and double orb enhance lol) in addition to their heals. LMeta might be better at staying above 50%, but she also has to work that much harder for reliable burst damage.

L.Meta has a stronger and faster instaheal should you fall out of the zone, so that Susano pairing to prevent you from getting under 50% is likely to be critical -- plus having too much HP boosting means healing to 50% gets harder. So would having Gaia and ZY as a safety sub, just like pre-UVO Liu Bei.

His leader skill is even better than LMeta's since it gives a larger HP boost.

Considering that most green attackers have decent recovery (hello Michael) but generally lack HP, this ult-evo is exactly what they needed. And in case you need a boost to recovery, you can pair with Susanoo for a very balanced 1.35/10.5/1.35 team. All in all, Gungho really delivered with this one.

this only applys if u dont have sh*t for rcv tho, like on some dragon teams you wont even break 1k rcv

Imagine how they could possibly improve DQXQ's Leader Skill!!!

Oh YAS. My DQXQ is excitd.

I wouldn't get too excited - Liu Bei's leader skill was so broken in a way the others would not. Who knows what GH will do but it's not a given.

On the more mundane side, one of Liu Bei's versions is Dragon, the other God. I'm wondering if this will be maintained for the others (i.e. Sun Quan and Xiaoqiao will have God/Healer and Dragon/Healer ultimates, Cao Cao God/Attacker and Dragon/Attacker, Lu Bu God/Devil and Dragon/Devil)

... And my Horus is not.

But to improve DQXQ's LS, they'd probably do what they did to his LS and give a higher multiplier for more colors.

Lubu i think is : 3.5x attack when under 50% hp, 3.3x atk when under 99% hp, 3x attack when hp is full.

About DQXQ : 4.5x attack when matching 5 orbs or 1.2x attack when above 6 combos, or simply a small boost to hp and rcv of healer.

I think it fits. This has a more detached, leader-esque feel, while the other is more "in your face", perfect for a sub. Plus, there's the typing too: this one fits the god type, while the other fits the dragon type.

I'd love that too, but then this would have been the most broken green lead ever.

If this had 3 tpas athena would have too good of a sub

With the new JP Awakenings and his better LS and stats, I think this evolution will become more useful. The dragon killer will be nice for a few dungeons, and the HP boost really helps keep his leader skill activated.

Additionally, I think the skill bind resist will also prove to be quite invaluable when making teams with him as a leader. Unfortunately though, due to the three TPA's on the other evolution I think this evo will still continue to be outclassed as a sub--except perhaps in an extremely dragon-heavy dungeon.

And the Samurai dragon? He's awesome, I use him on my GZL team all the time.

No rows. Considering the lack of other options, he's a decent sub for Liu Bei, but still has no rows.

You forgot Griffin he is farmable but very poor HP

Ah, of course. Added.

Eh... What matters is that GZL AS and Liu Bei's LS activate on him.
