GuanYu's class is very easy to tell out from the other players that belong to the Han Team. To Start, The Armor piece covering the player's chest is **Emerald Green.** Another, and the main distinction, is the weapon. Unlike the rest of the weapons in the game, GuanYu's weapon is a mesh. It is a **Polearm** has a big blade part and a golden dragon swirling the bar. This weapon is also **Glowing Green**. This gives the player an effect surrounding them. This effect stays with the weapon even when it is dropped on the floor after it breaks.

## Stats, Perks, Drawbacks

#### Stats

A player using the GuanYu Set will get a **base health of** **800** (Excluding packages) and **the weapon** **GuanYu's Spear.** The spear does **around 180 damage per hit**.

#### Perks

GuanYu has giant damage numbers in trade for not having a shield. Guan Yu Boasts **incredible nuke potential** and and can delete anyone if you manage to land a Dashing Pierce.

#### Drawbacks

Since Guan Yu is fully committed to Offense, you lack any kind of shield. This means you are **very** vulnerable to ranged spam or ranged players in general.

## Gameplay

"No!!!!!!! You can't just pierce through my shield hitbox like it's not even there!!!!" - Average Shield User

"haha Glaive go slick" - The GuanYu User.

**Gameplay of this class is very similar to the following classes: Thor**

Playing GuanYu is relatively straightforward. GuanYu's durability sucks, but there are still many ways the class can be played. Your weapon does monstrous amounts of damage but doesn't last long. So, it's best to use this durability on **player targets** instead of armies. Your weapon will probably break really quickly if you try to kill 10 or so soldiers, so it's best to **go for valuable targets, hence players.** The weapon in it's era can kill basic classes in **3 Hits** consistently**.** *Occasionally* It may take 4 but it's uncommon. Even if they gang up on you, it is very easy for GuanYu to **Solo entire enemy teams** if they play their cards right.

Even against other Mythicals of the same era, a **GuanYu will probably win against a Tiberius or an Achilles** Due to the fact that GuanYu Does the **Most Damage out of these 3 and can bypass their shields thanks to the passive perk all mythicals have: the ability to ignore block.**

One last thing to note is that GuanYu, due to not having a shield, is **very vulnerable to ranged damage from archers or spear throwers**. It is advised you **stay away from pushing an enemy base by yourself unless you have an army that can tank the hits for you**. GuanYu may have high amounts of HP to be able to get a few kills in, but you may not get desired results.

## Pros and Cons

### **Pros**

* It's a Mythical Class, so it has a high health pool.
* GuanYu's Glaive is the only weapon of the Ancient era that can do more than 200 damage consistently without the use of skills. Including other Ancient era mythical classes.
* Incredibly good for PvP as it has potential to wipe entire teams by itself and can do so very easily.
* Will usually win against Tiberius or Achilles in a 1v1 scenario (without considering skills and the skill level of the players)

### **Cons**

* No backup or replaceable weapons
* Constantly having to go from the base back to the frontlines after dying/resetting to get your weapon back.
* Not the best for pushing bases.
* Have to deal with the very awkward animations that Polearms naturally come with.

## Should I Purchase GuanYu?

Nothing is stopping you from purchasing what you want. But in the personal opinion of the editor, you should only buy GuanYu if your playstyle is along the lines of below:

* You enjoy being a 1 man army
* You prefer player on player fighting without NPCs getting involved
* You wanna specifically murder other mythical classes
* **You despise shields and want them to cease to exist**
