Li is the eighth playable Hero in the game, being unlocked upon purchasing the Visitors of Spirit Realm DLC.

Li's playstyle mainly focuses around  Fire? damage, and lots of it. Almost everything she has will encourage using Fire damage or inflicting  Burning?, either with her skills or with weapons.

Because of this, anything that boosts elemental and Fire damage will be of great use to her, or boosting elemental effects in general.

 Lightning? and  Corrosion? weapons and effects will also be of great use due to their ability to inflict fusion effects when applying  Shock? and  Decay? to enemies.

Li's biggest downside is her low  Health? and somewhat low  Shields?, making her very vulnerable to damage. Unlike  Lei Luo, she does not have good  Movement Speed to avoid enemy attacks and only has Blazing Meteor's stagger effect to delay them. This forces her to quickly kill enemies, or be overwhelmed.

## Build Strategies

These are a list of general strategies that can be built towards as you progress through a run. Almost no build is mutually exclusive, and often results in partially building into others due to the randomness of the game. Most however do not synergize well when attempting 2 vastly different builds at once, especially on high difficulties.

### All Difficulties

* By default, only  Scorching Rounds,  Piercing Flame,  Justice and  Fire Tower, are suitable choices, but Li's  Flame Arsenal allows more fire weapons to drop.
	+ Using a slow, powerful weapon allows it to make the most of Burning Bullet and Molten Meteor, letting a higher number of shots on average be boosted.
* Burning Bullet,  Furious Flame,  Flame Forged,  Flame Talisman and  Flame Dance are always helpful.  Molten Meteor should be picked when  Flare Calling has been taken, or if casting Blazing Meteor normally is acceptable.
	+ Blazing Rain can also be picked when Flare Calling and Molten Meteor have been taken, to improve the bonus from Molten Meteor.
	+ Heat Recovery is a decent choice for providing max  Shield? if Burning Bullet has been taken.
* Most weapon and fire damage boosting scrolls are helpful, though  Fire Enthusiast can be extremely effective when paired with  Flesh and Bones, due to using a fire weapon for life-steal.
* Having ✦ *Element share*(full text) with a  Corrosion? elemental offhand weapon can greatly boost damage dealt due to  Combustion?. Alternatively the corrosion weapon can be used with a fire offhand, however it can no longer benefit from  Hunt of Fire or Furious Flame.
* Whenever possible, hit an enemy when you have 3 stacks of Molten Meteor and your energy is full, to deal the most damage.

* Either a  Laser Gloves or a  Fire? elemental  Rainbow should be used.  Fire Dragon cannot be used however, as it only works on continuous beams. Your other weapon should be  Corrosion? elemental, and preferably they should both have ✦ *Element share*(full text).
* Fiery Heart should always be picked, and  Wait For Good is high priority.
	+ ◆ +0.2x CritX on each Crit Hit. (Up to +4.0x and will be reset on a normal hit/miss), ◆ *+150% Lucky Shot on triple crit*(full text) and ◈ +10% Lucky Shot Chance for 3s whenever hit an enemy (up to 150%). are all highly effective on the main Injector.
* The way this build works is how Injectors with beams work. For the effects listed above (and some less important others), the entire beam is considered a single shot. In this build, after casting  Spiritual Flame and firing your weapon, **every hit** will be guaranteed to inflict  Burning?, due to Fiery Heart guaranteeing it on what is considered the "next shot". The beam ending will require a new shot to be made, requiring the effects to be active again to apply.
	+ For the inscriptions mentioned, the effects only start working on the next beam after hits have been made. Because of this, the first beam for each battle is typically less effective.
	+ Against an enemy under the  Decay? effect, every hit will also trigger  Combustion? (though its cooldown will still prevent it from triggering sometimes), greatly increasing damage.
* Flame Talisman is another high priority choice, due to the rapid Burning applications constantly recovering stacks.  Furious Flame and  Flame Forged are always helpful.
* Ways of preventing the magazine from dropping should be picked to reduce how often beams end abruptly from reloading. Those include  Genesis,  Against the Flow,  Skateboarder,  Bloody Ammo,  Deft Hands,  Advanced Depot and ● Recover 1 ammo to magazine when triggering Elemental Effect.

* Spiritual Meteor and  Blazing Rain should be high priority for increasing damage.  Furious Flame,  Flame Forged,  Flame Talisman,  Flame Resonance,  Nourishing Fire,  Energy Sandals,  Untold Effort,  Surprise Bonus and Skill Freak are always helpful.
	+ Flare Calling can also be taken if using weapons occasionally, especially  Corrosion? weapons for inflicting  Decay?, allowing Blazing Meteor to trigger  Combustion?.
	+ Accurate Crush is high priority for dealing with elites and bosses, due to the massive damage bonus.
* Cataclysm can greatly increase the number of Blazing Meteors that are cast, especially with high use capacity. It also increases damage, but not by much without  Energetic Spirit.
* To help sustain constant Blazing Meteor use,  Unceasing Blaze,  Double Exhilaration,  Extra Surprise,  Capacity Overdraft and  Endless Assault can be taken. However Unceasing Blaze alone may be enough to deal with any issues, even at low levels, with Blazing Rain and Cataclysm helping it even further.

* Conflagration,  Energetic Spirit and  Firefox Blessing should be high priority for increasing damage and consistently recovering energy.  Furious Flame,  Flame Forged,  Endless Wildfires,  Heat Recovery,  Energy Sandals and  Surprise Bonus are always helpful.
	+ Fiery Heart should be taken if using a  Corrosion? weapon for inflicting  Decay?, allowing Spiritual Flame to trigger  Combustion? guaranteed.
* Due to Spiritual Flame having no cooldown,  Terminal Lucidity,  Terrific Crossfire,  Ancient Timer and  Energy Storage have no effect on it, so should be avoided.  Magic Watch,  Flowing Time,  Field Proficiency and  Overconsumption will have reduced effectiveness.
	+ On the other hand,  Gold Medal can be used repeatedly by spamming Spiritual Flame without consuming energy, if needed.
* Raging Inferno is very effective at increasing damage dealt and slightly increasing energy recovery while not overshadowing Conflagration or Energetic Spirit. Due to the large AoE of Spiritual Flame, it is also very difficult to lose the damage bonus.

### Reincarnation Only

* Weapons with either high RoF or high hits per second should be picked as your main weapon. Good choices include  Angelic Aura,  Demonlore,  Dual Fang,  Scalpel,  Illusion,  Porcupine,  Fire Dragon,  Laser Gloves,  Radioactive Gauntlet,  Rainbow and  Thunderclap Gloves, though weapons with either  Fire? or  Corrosion? damage work best.
	+ Inscriptions for projectiles or RoF should be high priority as well, as they will increase hit count.
	+ Your offhand weapon should be Fire elemental and have high elemental effect chance, such as  Piercing Flame or  Fire Tower. Others such as  Scorching Rounds,  Justice and  Fire Dragon can work as well, but aren't as effective without ◆ +100% Elemental Effect Chance of this weapon.
* Both weapons should have ✦ *Element share*(full text) as soon as possible so Burning can start being inflicted by the main weapon at an incredibly fast rate, which will in turn grant incredibly fast energy recovery, sustaining Energy Draining for long periods of time and letting its bonuses rise massively.
* Flame Forged,  Flame Talisman,  Energetic Spirit and  Heat Recovery should be high priority. Flame Forged and Flame Talisman will be incredibly easy to sustain from Burning effects, Energetic Spirit will help with sustaining Energy Draining when Burning is not being applied, and Heat Recovery provides massive max  Shield? bonus as energy is constantly being recovered and drained.
	+ Burning Bullet is always useful for slight energy recovery.  Flare Calling may also help (with  Blazing Rain and  Nourishing Fire by extension), but offers very little bonus besides staggering enemies, as the energy recovery is low.
	+ Furious Flame is only useful if your main weapon deals Fire damage.
	+ Fiery Heart can be taken if using Laser Gloves or a Fire elemental Rainbow, similar to the Fire Injector build above.
* Ways of preventing the magazine from dropping should be picked to reduce how often reloads occur, preventing Burning from being inflicted. Those include  Genesis,  Against the Flow,  Skateboarder,  Bloody Ammo,  Deft Hands,  Advanced Depot and ● Recover 1 ammo to magazine when triggering Elemental Effect.
* Merciless Combo and  Flame Dance are extremely effective at increasing damage further, especially when starting Energy Draining.  Fish or Bear Paw should always be taken, as it will roughly double the amount of Burning effects applied.
	+ Elemental Weave can be a decent choice with a high RoF Fire weapon before ✦ *Element share*(full text) has been obtained, but becomes detrimental afterwards, due to weapon swapping constantly interrupting shooting.
