Bleed main damage dealer

Ring Nursefather Hong Lu is a Bleed monster that scales through a fight. His skills deal real damage while applying Bleed potency and count, Bind and Haste, and his unique Corpus count powers a very strong AoE skill. He replaces older Bleed slots and is a permanent pick in Bleed teams. He is designed to be paired with Ring Apprentice Faust.

Worth pulling?
must pull
Uptie
Uptie IV is worth it for a core Bleed unit. His kit scales with every part of the fight, so the extra power is felt.

How to play

Build Corpus count with Skill 2 and attacks. Skill 2 chains into the free Improvised Ribcage skill when the enemy has 5 or more types of debuffs. At 10 or more Corpus, Skill 2 and Skill 3 consume it for Unbreakable coins and more power. His closing skill is a big AoE option in long fights. Use the evade or counter for defense.

  • +Scales strongly as a fight goes on
  • +AoE option in group fights
  • +Replaces Kurokumo Hong Lu in Bleed teams
  • −Complex kit with many resources
  • −Best with his Ring teammates

FAQ

Is Ring Nursefather Hong Lu good?
Yes, he is one of the best Bleed identities. He pairs strong damage with Bleed potency and count, and his scaling and AoE help in long fights and group encounters.
Does Ring Hong Lu need Faust?
They are meant as a duo and have direct synergy. Hong Lu is strong alone, but Faust's Assist and Bleed count support is part of the kit's design.
