Is Tingtang Gang Gangleader Hong Lu good?

Yes. He is a strong generalist with high clash power, a very strong evade and burst damage. Because he is luck-based, he is not as reliable as status carries.

How do you use Hong Lu's Mutilate?

Use it on staggered or weakened enemies, with sanity high enough for a good heads chance. It can kill and repeat, but does little damage if the coin lands tails.

Review

Mirror Dungeon tier

Generalist clash and burst damage dealer

Tingtang Hong Lu is a status-free generalist that fits almost any team. His Skill 3 has one of the highest base rolls in the game and can chain kills, Skill 2 reuses its last coin on low HP targets, and his evade is the strongest in the game at high sanity. The weak point is luck: Skill 3 does little if the coin does not land heads.

Worth pulling?: good pull
Uptie: Uptie IV makes sense since he is a flexible pick for any team. His value is clash power and burst, which uptie supports.

How to play

Keep sanity near max for a better chance at heads. Use Skill 3 on staggered or low HP targets, not on a full health enemy, where the damage is mediocre. Skill 2 gets a reused coin below 25 percent HP, which checks the part's HP when hitting a broken part. Use the evade against dangerous attacks. Land of Illusion into Mutilate is a strong opener.
