Lycaon Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths
• Can deal a huge amount of Daze DMG.
• Has the ability to increase the Stun Multiplier, which increases the DMG to Stunned enemies.
• Can decrease the enemy's Ice RES, which is extremely useful for Ice-centric teams.
Weaknesses
• Attacks are short ranged, so Lycaon can be easily interrupted.
Lycaon is a powerful Stun unit who specializes in dealing tons of Daze with his Basic Attacks and can increase the DMG taken by Stunned enemies.
Lycaon can be used well on any team as their Stun unit, but he excels on Ice teams thanks to his Ice RES shred.

This build makes the most out of Lycaon's Daze and makes him deal a decent amount of damage. Hing Energy Regen on Lycaon is also important so that he can use his EX Special Attacks more frequently.
Shockstar Disco provides extra Daze to all of Lycaon's attacks and Swing Jazz increases his Energy Regen.

Lycaon is the best Stun unit for Ellen since he can dish out a lot of Daze DMG and increase the stunned enemy's damage taken and provide Ice RES shred.
This combined with Soukaku's own DMG buffs will significantly increase Ellen's overall damage output.

Lycaon fulfills two requirements to unlock Hugo's full potential: a Stun and an Ice Character. Lycaon works best with Lighter to stun the enemies as fast as possible.
In addition, Lighter can increase Hugo's Ice DMG and the enemy's Ice RES. Once the enemy has been stunned, Hugo's DMG increases exponentially based on the remaining time an enemy is in that state.

The Restrained is the Best for Lycaon
The Restrained is easily Lycaon's Best W-Engine as it provides more Daze for his Basic Attacks.

Rating and Merits

Shockstar Disco
(4-pc)

Swing Jazz
(2-pc)
★★★ - Best Set! Shockstar Disco increases Lycaon's Impact and lets his attacks deal more Daze to enemies which synergize well with his kit. 2-piece Swing Jazz increases Lycaon's Energy Regen which allows him to do more EX Special Attacks.

King of the Summit

Swing Jazz
(2-pc)
★★☆ - 2nd Best King of the Summit can be used instead of Shockstar Disco if you want Lycaon to provide CRIT DMG buffs for the team.
Lycaon Skill PriorityLycaon Skill Priority
Skill
Priority
Explanation
Core Skill
★★★★★
Lycaon's Core Skill increases his Daze, which is an important stat for Stun characters like him.
Basic Attack
★★★★★
You will be using Lycaon's Basic Attacks for the most part when he is on the field.
Dodge
★★☆☆☆
While this increases the Daze when upgraded, you won't be using Lycaon's Dash Attack that often when you get used to him.
Assist
★☆☆☆☆
Lycaon's Assist Skill allows him to deal some Daze, but it's less of a priority compared to his other Skills.
Special Attack
★★★★☆
You will be using Lycaon's Special Attack as your main DMG source, so upgrade this alongside her Core Skill.
Chain Attack
★★★★☆
Upgrade Lycaon's Ultimate after his Basic Attack since his Ultimate inflicts a ton of daze against enemies.
Lycaon mostly accumulate Daze using his basic attacks, so it should be the first thing to maximize first. Upgrade his Core Skill next as this increases his Daze. You can then upgrade Special Attack for more damage or Chain Attack for a ton of daze depending on what you need.

How to Play LycaonZZZ Lycaon Kit Guide
Charged Basic and Special Deal More Daze
Attack Stunned Enemies to Increase the DMG Multiplier
Use Ultimate for Massive Daze
Hold Down Basic and Special Attacks to Deal More Daze
Lycaon's Basic and Special Attacks deal a lot more Daze when held down. So we recommend holding down the Basic Attack and Special Attack to stun the enemy as soon as you can.
Lycaon Daze Combo
Lycaon Daze Combo
Charged EX Special Attack 2x → Charged Basic Attack Combo → Repeat Until Stunned
Do two Charged EX Specials and then transition into a Charged Basic Attack Combo. Repeat the combo until the enemy is stunned. This combo will easily Stun enemies in no time.
Attack Stunned Enemies to Increase the DMG Multiplier

When Lycaon attacks a stunned enemy, the Stun DMG multiplier will increase. Make sure to attack the stunned enemy with Lycaon before switching to the Attack unit.
This can only work if there's another Ice or Victoria Housekeeping Co. agent in the party.
Use Ultimate for Massive Daze
Lycaon's Ultimate can deal a great amount of Daze onto enemies at a wide AoE. This is very useful if you need to Stun multiple enemies.

Lycaon Mindscape Cinema (Duplicates)Recommended Cinema
Why We Recommend It
C1
★★★★★ - Amazing
Lycaon's EX Special Attack gets an increased amount of Daze, which makes his already amazing Stunning capability a lot better.
C2
★★★☆☆ - Good
Lycaon gains more Energy after Stunning an enemy or through other units' Chain Attacks. This helps him use his EX Special Attack more often.
C4
★★☆☆☆ - Okay
Lycaon can now gain a shield if he gets attacked while using a Basic or Special Attack. Very useful to oid interruption, but it doesn't improve his kit that much.
C6
★★★☆☆ - Good
Lycaon's charged attack deals increased DMG. It improves Lycaon's DMG output but isn't really needed since he's a Stun character.
C3 and C5 are excluded since they are only for skill enhancement.
