  • Hwarang: Fallen PetalsEpic
  • Hwarang: Plucked BlossomsRare

Guide

Playstyle

  1. Stack them first (40 unit kills or 8 hero kills, or a mix of both) until you take them out. This unlocks their advanced abilities. Stacks even when unit isn’t deployed, from both hero kills AND unit kills
  2. Then play in blob. Skill 1 ignores most shields and does insane DMG. Skill 2 to reposition and dodge potential threats
  3. Artemis and Arrow Rain DON’T stack
  4. Normal combo: 1, Arrow Rain, V+Artemis, 1 (wait for each step to end before going to next). You can play without Artemis and just skip that step

Doctrines

Highest level you can.

Mandatory

  • Bowmanship Doctrine V (MANDATORY: Arrow Rain deals 75% of unit’s base piercing per hit, +150 piercing DMG, allows you to shoot where you want with increased range, aim-bots to closest target in circle)
  • Projectile Doctrine V (+60% ammo, +50 piercing AP)
  • Precision Doctrine V (+120 piercing DMG, +80 piercing AP, +9% rate of fire)

Top Pick

  • Artemis (archer-shared: Unlocks Double Strings, fires 2 arrows per shot for 12s, 40s CD, can’t combine with other actives except Overwatch)
  • Epic Leadership Doctrine (replaces Unit DMG V on this unit, only unit in the game where Leadership is more value than Unit DMG)
  • Whistling Arrow Doctrine V (alt for Artemis: every 3 hits inflict bleeding for 12% current health, can trigger in concert with other units, enables hit at weak points, GREAT in duo-Hwarang)

Filler

  • Unit Damage Doctrine V (fallback if not running Leadership)

Arrow Rain is MANDATORY because normal V is really bad on Hwarang. Arrow Rain lets you shoot anywhere with increased range, no aim needed, will aim-bot the closest target in the circle.

Whistling Arrow Doctrine V is the duo-play swap: if you and an ally both run Hwarang, replace Artemis with Whistling Arrow on at least one of the two units (bleed triggers compound across both Hwarang units).
