Lion Face route notes

  • Lion Face is strongest when you commit first to fist or blade instead of sampling every attractive manual at once.
  • Use Lion's Roar (狮啸功) as the first comparison point, then add the other representative arts only when they reinforce the same combat plan.
  • 70/100 beginner fit means the faction is better after you understand range, recovery, relationships, or another supporting system.
