Zilong

Zilong, the Spear of Dragon, is a fighter who plays in the Exp Lane.

Also known as Spear of Dragon

Lore

Guardian of the Dragon Altar and the Oriental Fighter who inherited the Cloud Dragon's power. Zilong was taken in by the Tianyin Swordmaster Sect when he was just a child. Although the Sect was famous for their mastery of the "Jian," Zilong chose to take up the spear. Without a teacher, he practiced the basics of the spear day in and day out with unvawering determination. After leaving the Sect, he became a disciple of the Great Dragon under the guidance of Baxia, the Mystic Tortoise, and trained at the Dragon Altar. But with the changing of times, the spirit of the Cloud Dragon appeared on the tip of his spear one day to the surprise of his peers. That was when everyone, including Zilong, realized he had become one with the Cloud Dragon of the Oriental Fighters and inherited the Great Dragon Spear. Even though the spear is known as the "King of Weapons," Zilong had no desire for power. No matter where he was or who he was supposed to be, Zilong was content to protect his homeland with a spear in hand. As long as he still breathed, there would be peace in the Cadia Riverlands.

Counter / cooperate relationship

Matchups

Counters

The immunity to Slow effects that Zilong gets from his Ultimate makes him strong against squishy heroes without CC skills, such as Layla and Lylia.

Countered by

Zilong is still vulnerable to non-slow CC skills, making him weak against heroes with powerful single-target CC skills, such as Franco and Nana.

Compatibility

Zilong works best with heroes with strong defensive abilities that can hold off enemy attacks while he solos the lane, such as Pharsa and Hanabi.
