Dislyte Esper Guides: Long Mian (Ao Bing)

Originating from Ao Bing, a dragon prince of classical Chinese literature, Long Mian is a Controller Esper with the powerful ability to stop opponents in their tracks, whether it be by freezing them or slowing them down and preventing the turn order from getting to them. As such, he’s a great boon in Point War combat!

Long Mian Details

Is Long Mian a Good Esper in Dislyte?

Long Mian is a very well-loved Esper, and it isn’t hard to see why. He’s a very effective Controller but is still able to deal good damage and debuff opponents in other ways which makes it a real challenge for them to act in order to take him down. You’ll often find him around the mid to top range of Point War and you’ll find that he can be incredibly formidable when built well.

He’s very well-balanced and what he does well you’ll find it hard for any other Espers of his rarity to compete with. While Tiye or other similar 5* Espers might be able to take his place, he’s pretty much able to trump any other 4* or below that tries to do the same thing as him.

Long Mian Equipment

The aim with Long Mian, particularly if you’re using him in Point War, is to attack first, disable the opponents and keep them slowed down so that your team gets to deal more damage, buff themselves, and push the match in their favor.

To aid this, it’s most important to focus on two things – making sure Long Mian hits as soon as possible in the turn order without missing and making sure he’s not flimsy and can withstand enough hits to make a difference rather than falling before having an impact. Therefore, you should look to apply the following sets:

• Wind: +25% SPD
• Ocean: Grants a 35% chance of reducing all ability cooldowns by 1 turn after an ability is used
• Recurve: +25% ACC

Lastly, Long Mian’s Equipment characteristics should prioritize HP, DEF, ACC, and SPD.
