When forming a lineup in Three Kingdoms Fantasy Land 2: Ballad of the Hawk, the selection of front, middle, and back row generals is quite particular. After all, a reasonable lineup layout is often the key to victory. How to choose defensive roles in Three Kingdoms Fantasy Land 2: Ballad of the Hawk is very important, especially the choice of front-row generals, as they need to bear the brunt of enemy attacks. Therefore, it's necessary to pick generals with very high defense capabilities.
Among the many defensive generals currently in the game, the first one I would like to recommend to everyone is Zhou Tai. The main reasons for recommending Zhou Tai are twofold. First, now many players, when choosing their initial lineup, tend to opt for combinations like Gan Ning and Sun Shangxiang, and since Zhou Tai also belongs to the Wu Kingdom faction, there are often some underlying bonds or advantages in cooperation between generals from the same faction. This makes Zhou Tai more popular, and he can more easily form good synergies with other generals in the team. Second, Zhou Tai's own strength is indeed quite outstanding; his innate skill is very unique, allowing him to directly resurrect and restore half of his health when he is about to be defeated.

The second defensive general I'd like to recommend is Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo has his own set of abilities, capable of gaining certain layers of Dominance based on his current percentage of HP, and each layer of Dominance can increase damage. This means that on the battlefield, as his HP changes, he can both ensure his defensive capability and continuously enhance his offensive power, making him an all-rounder. Looking at his ultimate skill, it not only deals powerful area-of-effect (AOE) damage but also has functional effects, inflicting physical damage to all enemies based on a percentage of their maximum HP. This can cause significant damage to the entire enemy team, disrupting their formation. Moreover, it can dispel buffs from the enemy, which is crucial because these buffs often make the enemy harder to deal with. Each time a buff is dispelled, Dong Zhuo heals himself, effectively dealing damage to the enemy while healing, further ensuring his survival. Such a dispel-and-heal skill is very much needed in many battles.

Zhang Fei is also a defensive general worth recommending. Zhang Fei's physical damage targets the group leader, and the debuff he applies can reduce the enemy's output. This is equivalent to putting a layer of damage reduction armor on all our targets, significantly reducing the impact of the enemy's attacks, thus protecting our team. Additionally, once Zhang Fei receives an attack, he gains a shield, which acts like an extra layer of defense, enhancing his ability to absorb damage at the front line.

The last one I want to recommend is Cao Ren. Cao Ren is considered by many players to be a very tough general, with great durability. He also has strong team support capabilities, able to grant the Fortify and Unbreakable effects to any full row of allies, increasing their block rate so that they will always block when attacked. This enhances the survivability of the entire row, whether placed in the front to absorb damage or to protect the mid and back row's damage dealers and support units, Cao Ren can bring out the strengths of the team.

After reading my recommendations, you should have a clear idea of how to choose defensive roles in Three Kingdoms Fantasy Land 2: Ballad of the Hawk. These defensive generals can greatly improve the survivability of your lineup and play a decisive role in many critical battles.
