Sun Shangxiang, during the early stages of the game, is a card that many players desire, and she firmly holds the key position as the core C in the female team. How to use the Sun Shangxiang lineup in Three Kingdoms Fantasy Continent 2: The Ballad of the Hawk mainly depends on her extraordinary map-clearing ability. As long as everyone learns how to use her, it can make the players' early exploration in the game smooth, and the combat comfort she brings is also something many players like.
There is a crucial point worth deep thinking when using this character, which is the bond effect of Sun Shangxiang. After all, in the game, the bond bonus is often one of the key factors that determine whether a lineup can unleash its maximum power. In addition to the inherent skill attributes of the character, the bond effect can cleverly link the power between various characters, forming an organic whole that cooperates and fights together. The bond effect of Sun Shangxiang, in particular, needs to work closely with many other characters to be used better.
Therefore, for those players who are eager to find the most suitable lineup for Sun Shangxiang, it is recommended to try building a Three Wu lineup with Sun Shangxiang at its core. In this lineup, Sun Shangxiang takes on the heavy responsibility of main C attack. With her powerful output capability, she can support the team's damage, while Sun Jian plays the role of a secondary tank, silently guarding the front line of the team. Working hand in hand with Sun Kailang, who is used as the main tank, further elevates the defensive power of the front line to a new level.
The two form a joint effect of cross-injury bearing, effectively enhancing the defensive capabilities and survival chances of the front line, whether facing physical or magical attacks from the enemy. Additionally, the lineup includes Cai Wenji, an excellent healer, who can be used at critical moments in battle. Cao Cao and Gan Ning also have a presence in this lineup, with Gan Ning serving as a secondary C, having a unique effect of expanding the battle results against low-HP units, especially when assisting Sun Shangxiang in dealing damage, where this bonus effect becomes quite good.
Cao Cao plays a pivotal role in damage supplementation. When enemies, after suffering a fierce blow from the core output, often try to struggle and escape, Cao Cao, with his precise and accurate skill release, ensures that enemies cannot easily escape the subsequent damage, making the entire team's damage chain complete and efficient. In terms of bond linkage, this lineup adds powerful attribute bonuses to the team. After activating the Sun Wu Legacy, the generals within the bond will gain a 15% damage increase effect right from the start of the battle, allowing the team to quickly establish a significant advantage in the early stages of combat.
After the third round of the battlefield, the buff effect cleverly transforms into a 15% damage reduction. It is worth noting that even if only two people trigger the bond, such as the combination of Sun Shangxiang and Sun Kailang or Sun Quan and Sun Kailang, they can still obtain a 10% damage increase and reduction effect. Although this is slightly inferior compared to the full bond effect, it still enhances the overall strength of the team to some extent. From the perspective of professional complementarity, this lineup achieves a nearly perfect ratio, combining 2 shields, 1 support, 1 leader, and 3 attackers, comprehensively covering all the key professional roles in the game.
The same faction bonus further enhances the team's strength. When the team includes 3 or 4 generals from the same faction, all deployed characters will receive a 15% or 25% damage increase and reduction effect, respectively. Therefore, in terms of cultivation priority, Sun Shangxiang, as the main C role that must be cultivated, is still very good. Players should prioritize investing resources in her star upgrades and equipment enhancements. Only in this way can it be ensured that she can continuously and stably output high damage in battles, truly taking on the important responsibility of being the core output of the team.
For the choice of the secondary C, it is recommended to first cultivate Gan Ning. Although Gan Ning's role in the team is more auxiliary compared to Sun Shangxiang, his ability to expand the battle results against low-HP units and the bonus effect in supporting output make him the best choice for the secondary C position. Once Cao Cao reaches the 4th awakening stage and successfully transforms into a leader, then shift resources towards Cao Cao. This is because, after the awakening transformation, Cao Cao's skill mechanism will be further strengthened and perfected.
In addition, this lineup has a great advantage in resource circulation. Before level 40, players can perform lossless rebirth of generals and transfer resources. This feature also provides a relatively relaxed resource management environment, allowing players to worry less about wasting resources during the process of cultivating the Three Wu generals. They can boldly try various cultivation strategies and lineup combinations until they find the playstyle that suits them best.
Now you know how to use the Sun Shangxiang lineup in Three Kingdoms Fantasy Continent 2: The Ballad of the Hawk. If you can use Sun Shangxiang, the core character, more flexibly and ingeniously, you can actually try adding various other characters according to your preferences in the game, and see what kind of wonderful sparks and lineup effects will be born.
