[] Lore

As a man, Guan Yu was the embodiment of loyalty, honor, and strength. As a God, he is a guardian of justice, a hero to the downtrodden, the Saint of War.

In the ancient times of the East, a great war between Three Kingdoms raged. The warlord Liu Bei, and his friends, Zheng Fei, and the mighty Guan Yu swore an oath of brotherhood in a mystical peach garden, vowing to create a new, righteous world. Together, they fought countless battles against the warlords Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and Guan Yu grew famous for his combat prowess and unwavering honor.

During the war, Cao Cao captured Guan Yu. At the time, Liu Bei’s fate was uncertain, so he agreed to fight for Cao Cao under specific terms, chiefly that he would abandon Cao Cao if ever he learned the whereabouts of his sworn brother. Despite Cao Cao’s gifts and promises of wealth, when Liu Bei resurfaced, Guan Yu immediately went to his side. Years later, Guan Yu again faced Cao Cao on the battlefield as the warlord fled from his defeat at Red Cliffs. Guan Yu cut off Cao Cao’s retreat and obliterated his forces. Cao Cao, however, he spared and released, as a matter of honor.

After his death, Guan Yu’s spirit remained at a holy shrine, coming to the aid of nearby villagers in need, battling the cruel and selfish. From all over the East, worshippers came to the shrine and burned incense to honor him. Such popularity led to Faith, and thus Guan Yu was raised as a God, deified a few hundred years later.

Now, he embodies the virtues he lived by. His statues, wielding a massive guan dao, ward against evil. Red faced to represent loyalty, his likeness is carried by merchants as proof they can be trusted. If their cause is just, he leads armies to victory. Among the Gods of any Pantheon, there are few as deadly and none as righteous a Guan Yu.

[] Tips/Mechanics

  • Guan Yu has extremely potent sticking power. A combination of durability and high mobility allows him to dive on an enemy carry and proceed to cause chaos among the enemy team.
  • Compared to other tanks, Guan Yu lacks hard CC such as stuns or fears. This god has a total of three soft CCs, the slow from Warrior's Will and the first two strikes from Tactician's Advantage. His only source of hard crowd control is the third strike from Tactician's Advantage. This means he is overall less effective at peeling opponents off ally Gods.
  • Warrior's Will reduces the cooldown of itself along with all other abilities when striking enemy Gods.
  • Tranquil Gift's cooldown is only reduced when striking ally Gods; Guan Yu cannot use this on himself to reduce his cooldowns.
  • The cooldown reductions on the above abilities DO NOT STACK. Landing them on more than one target does not reduce your cooldowns further, it continues to provide a flat 2 second reduction.
  • Taolu Assault's damage is deceptively high. Attempt to focus this skill on one or two targets to maximize your damage.
  • Fortified Defense's range is exactly the same as the attack ranges of the game's structures. Guan Yu's shoulder pauldrons also gain a gold overlay when this passive is in effect.

[] Trivia

  • Guan Yu was one of the 5 gods whose models had been found in the game's files after the Beta went public, and had yet to be released, the others being , , Fenrir and Yen-Lo-Wang.
