Lian Animus Overview
Lian is an SSR Reason champion who brings high-impact fire damage and self-sustain to the battlefield. As the Flameborn Phoenix of the Meltdown Response Bureau, she thrives on buff synergy, scaling her damage through effects like Inferno Blade, which grows stronger with each active buff, and Blazing Wings, which summons additional phoenixes for every buff she holds. This makes her a perfect pick for buff-heavy teams looking to amplify their DPS.
Her ultimate, Empyreal Scorch, delivers heavy AoE fire damage while stealing Turn Meter, allowing her to disrupt enemy rotations and control the pace of battle. Combined with her built-in lifesteal mechanics, Lian maintains high uptime and survivability, even in extended encounters. She’s a strong choice for players who want a reliable and strategic damage dealer with built-in sustain.
