Where these rankings come fromThe weapon order, gear sets and Potential verdicts on this tab are prydwen.gg’s, measured in play and condensed to a sentence each. Relative damage figures are ratios against the bottom of each ranking, not absolute numbers, and each one holds only for the Potential and team its row states. Everything else (base stats, skill text, material totals) is read from the game’s own data.

Lifeng FAQ
- What attribute is Lifeng?
- Lifeng is a 6-star Physical operator of the Guard class, from Hongshan Academy of Sciences, wielding a Polearm, released in version 1.0.
- What stat does Lifeng scale on?
- Lifeng's skills multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Battle Skill and Ultimate, not from the skill description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
- What is the best weapon for Lifeng?
- Mountain Bearer is the closest fit on the data: it is a 6-star Polearm with 500 base ATK at level 90, and its skills act on ATK. Pathfinder's Beacon is the best 4-star alternative.
- Which gear set should Lifeng use?
- Swordmancer. Its 3-piece effect is: 3-piece set effect: Wearer's Stagger Efficiency Bonus +20%. After the wearer applies a Physical Status, the wearer also performs 1 hit that deals 250% ATK of Physical DMG and [10 Stagger]. Effect trigger cooldown: 15s. The 3-piece effect is the only set bonus a gear set has, and it needs three matching pieces; an operator equips four in all (Armor, Gloves and two Kits), so the fourth is free for an off-set piece.
- How much does it cost to max Lifeng's skills?
- Taking one combat skill from level 1 to 12 costs 172,200 T-Creds and 21× Blighted Jadeleaf among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.
- What does Lifeng P1 do?
- Breaking the Obsession: Battle skill Turbid Avatar improved: Physical Susceptibility +5%; also triggers this additional effect to enemies with no more than 2 Vulnerability stacks.
