How Long Fei works

Long Fei is a 5-generation mythic Infantry built primarily as a frontline damage tank. The kit centers on self control immunity, self mitigation, self Attack Speed, and control immunity.

Conquest skill 1

Long Fei becomes one with the battlefield upon drinking his signature ambrosia, gaining 120% Attack Speed and Immunity to control effects for 4s.

Conquest skill 2

The overconfidence of Long Fei’s enemies is their weakness. Damage taken by Long Fei reduces by 60% when under 50% health.

Conquest skill 3

The warriors of the ancient way have taught Long Fei many secrets to survival. Long Fei gains 48% Attack when under 50% health.

Long Fei in Conquest

The hero remains present in successful late-stage testing through stage 506, showing relevance well beyond a narrow release window.

The current composite ranking weighs stage ceiling, trustworthy lower-power performance, role utility, position versatility, raw stats, and generation ceiling. Long Fei is not ranked from raw win rate alone because heroes enter the dataset at different stages and are tested with different frequency.

The pattern is supported strongly enough to guide formation choices, while exact powers and private rows remain hidden.

Long Fei in Arena

Preliminary Arena projection

The Arena rating is preliminary. It combines Conquest evidence, raw stats, generation age, targeting value, and utility such as self control immunity, self mitigation, self Attack Speed, and control immunity. A very small amount of direct Arena evidence exists, but it is not large enough to publish as a firm result.

In Arena, Long Fei should be judged by whether the formation can use self control immunity, self mitigation, self Attack Speed, and control immunity before the hero is removed or controlled. Newer-generation raw stats matter more in direct PvP, but specialized older heroes can remain useful three or four generations later when their development and utility still justify the slot.

Best position for Long Fei

The strongest trusted position in the current dataset is Front right. Trusted wins also appear from Front left, Back left, and Back right.

  • Trusted winning positions: Front left, Front right, Back left, and Back right.

The starting target map still applies: front left and back left pressure enemy front left, while front right, back middle, and back right pressure enemy front right. Retargeting then follows the closest valid target.

Who Long Fei counters—and who counters Long Fei

Strong or useful into

Howard — Direct counter Moderate evidence. Long Fei has an observed advantage into Howard. Most often observed with Long Fei in front right, initially pressuring the enemy front right.
Helga — Conditional counter Limited evidence. Long Fei has an observed advantage into Helga. Most often observed with Long Fei in front right, initially pressuring the enemy front right.
stun control — Utility counter Projected evidence. Brings self control immunity against stun control.

Threats to watch

Howard — Conditional counter Moderate evidence. Howard has an observed advantage into Long Fei. Most often observed with Howard in front left, initially pressuring the enemy front left.
self mitigation — Utility weakness Projected evidence. When relying on self mitigation, watch for damage vulnerability, burst damage, and damage over time.
self Attack Speed — Utility weakness Projected evidence. When relying on self Attack Speed, watch for enemy Attack Speed reduction, stun control, and disable control.

Named matchup conclusions remain position-dependent. A direct counter should be placed in the lane or slot that creates the observed interaction.
