Song Yu

## **About**

In the latest guide, we have introduced **Renjie**. Today we will talk about another powerful **AOE** **Song Yu** which is relatively easy to raise in **Fabled** **Heroes**.

## **Skill and Description**

[Active] **Spring Snow**: Song Yu rotates the sword, and the sword aura pierces the armor, dealing 192% DMG, plus 146 bonus DMG to front enemies, and ignores 35% defense of enemies.

[Passive] **Gentle Persona**: Song Yu bears grace. Whenever the other ally hero launches a basic attack, they have a 10% chance to get Song Yu's assisting attack.

The active skill of Song Yu is powerful. It equals 2-3 normal attacks and ignores enemies' defence. Usually the front-line **Tanks** have high **DEF**, but they are no threat to Song Yu. Because Song Yu can make enemies' **Tanks** suffer from a lot of damage after casting 1 round of **Spring Snow**. The passive skill has the chance for Song Yu to make an additional attack, which deals more harm to **Tanks**.

Every time a hero from your formation uses a basic attack, Song Yu has a chance to counterattack directly after that heros' turn. There is no limit to this passive and it can be triggered at any allied hero's turn except for the enemies turn.

## **Equipment**

Song Yu needs to make a strong and quick attack to decrease Tanks' HP. Therefore, the best equipment for Song Yu is the**Merak & Bliss Sets**, with the set effect of **Crit**and**AGI**.

If it is hard for you to collect  the**Merak & Bliss Sets**, there is no worries for you. You can just equip Song Yu with any equipments with high **AGI attribute, ATK** **attribute**and **Crit attribute**.

## **Gem**

**ATK Gems**, **Crit Gems** and **AGI Gems** are highly recommended for Song Yu. **ATK attribute** and **Crit attribute** will increase the power of Song Yu's normal attack and skill damage, and **AGI Gems** will raise his speed to attack.

## **Treasure**

The **Destiny Treasure** of Song Yu is **Hook**. The Treasure's basic attributes is **Attack** and **Accurancy**, and the Destiny Attribute is **Critical**. Choose Hook Treasures with **Elite** quality or above to equip Song Yu.

## **Embattle**

Song Yu is suitable for a longer team fight. If enemies' DMG cannot pull down your front-line heroes(such as Tanks) within 2 rounds, Song will dominate the battlefield and deal tons of damage with his outstanding skills. In exchange, Song is quicker to destroy enemies' Tanks than enemies' hitting on us. As long as the Tanks are defeated, the brittle DMGs at the back-line are like the lambs to the slaughter. So a **Tank**(**Mulan**), an **AOE** (**Song Yu**) and a **Healer**(**Wan'er**) form a perfect iron triangle, and this triangle is a recommended embattle for Song Yu. For those don't have Mulan, **Xiang Yu** is a decent substitution. If you don't have Wan'er, you can use **Yuhuan** or **Wencheng** as a replacer.

Also, you can put **Li Bai** in your team with Song Yu. If you want to make a full use of Song's ability, Li Bai is a good match with Song Yu.

In conclusion, Song Yu is fabulous in ruining the front-line defences with lower **ATK** than other **DMG heroes**. If you are lucky to draw him, you should raise him as much as you can.
