A general serving under Guan Yu. Zhao Yun joined Guan Yu's army out of a strong sense of justice, aiming to rectify the chaos brought upon Aisha by the war between the Seven Knights and the Four Lords. His presence on the battlefield is often likened to that of a dragon, earning him the nickname 'Young Dragon.' While he admires Guan Yu, he often avoids his boozehound master at social gatherings due to being a lightweight who collapses at the mere scent of alcohol.

Weakness

No team utility, low damage output

Zhao Yun is a melee DPS hero who offers moderate self-buffs through his Guarding Spirit ability, granting +25% final Attack and +20% final Crit Damage for 10 seconds. His critical hit attack applies Tense, temporarily disabling enemy actions.

While his self-buff provides meaningful stat increases, Zhao Yun lacks any team utility, debuffs, or damage-over-time effects that would make him competitive with higher-tier heroes. His damage output is modest compared to modern melee DPS units, and he has no synergy-enabling abilities.

🤔

Should You Use Zhao Yun?

Use only if you lack stronger melee DPS options. He can function as a filler unit but does not bring enough value to justify priority investment.

Strengths

Self-buff active skill — Guarding Spirit provides +25% final Attack and +20% final Crit Damage for 10 seconds, a solid self-amplification window.
Tense application on crit — his critical hit attack inflicts Tense, preventing enemies from attacking, moving, or using skills.

Weaknesses

No team utility — offers no buffs, debuffs, or support effects for allies, limiting his value in team compositions.
Low damage output — his basic attack and critical hit damage are modest, placing him well below current meta DPS heroes.
No synergy potential — does not apply or benefit from any damage-over-time effects, making him incompatible with DoT-focused team strategies.

Why Zhao Yun Stands Out

Zhao Yun stands out primarily for his Tense application on critical hits, which provides crowd control utility that some players may find useful in specific PvP scenarios. However, his overall package is outclassed by nearly all current Legendary-tier heroes.

Best Game Modes

  • Codex only — limited use outside of collection purposes

Build & Optimization

Prioritize Critical Hit Rate to maximize the frequency of his Tense application and benefit from his Crit Damage buff. Secondary stats should focus on Attack to improve overall damage. Zhao Yun works best as a budget filler in teams that need a melee body until better options are available.
