Li Dailin/Playstyle Tips

In-Game Tips

 * Li Dailin's martial art skills are in full effect while she is drunk. Make sure she always has liquor ready.
 * Li Dailin is such an alcoholic that she can easily sniff out and find hidden Sorghum Wine.

General
Li Dailin is flexible in terms of mastery choice and routing option for getting her equipment. She has 3 melee mastery (Hand, Blunt, and Blade) so she can suit herself with the lobby's majority of mastery by either taking same mastery so she can take advantage of the enemy when they're killed and take their weapon for safety reasons, or avoid it and get the mastery that you think your start won't interrupted so you can safely get a solid build. She also has decent atk stat scaling to contest area and her Drunken Master passive is very impactful on combat that can be clutch and cost the game for enemy.

The weakness she has is probably her very low defense stat. She needs to finish her gear quick enough to stand her ground or she might be kicked out from every area by anyone because they hit very hard because her low defense.

Abilities
Dailin has a guaranteed source of stamina from Lee Huazi which means she won't run out of stamina most of the times if used correctly. Preferably. you craft the Sorghum Wine you got from Lee Huazi into extended craft of the liquor choice (Kaoliang, Herbal, or Flower Liquor.) it gives tons of stamina and she also has benefit from drinking it, this is where Drunken Master skill works.

Drunken Master will dodge any incoming direct attack from enemy for certain duration of time so you really should be precise with your timing of when to activate this skill. Practice makes perfect, so don't give up if you fail on your initial attempts. Drunken Master synergies well with Counter Attack Aptitude because both shares certain window time that works back to back example if you use Counter Attack correctly you can then use Drunken Master when 1v1 one second after performing CA. It works most of the time, or vice versa. It still needs proper timing but it's easy to pull off both when you do the first step correctly. Take note that some skill that gives indirect damage to Dailin will still take effect and ignore her Drunken Master, such as Magnus's 1v17, Hyejin's Omen, Barbara's Turret Drone, and Sissela's Unshackle.

Li Dailin can make Dragon Dobok or Chang Pao very quickly since she can craft Herbal Liquor without having to find alcohol to create one in the first place (also you might prefer to make Liqour Bread out of it if you find alcohol early and getting two alcohol takes good RNG or tons of time). It's really convenient and helpful since arm equip and weapon usually have a pairing you don't need to make duplicate ingredient for 3 set of gears. (steel can be for Steel Tonfa/Gauntlet with Steel Shield, iron sheet can be for Odachi with Sheath/Bazuband.) You have various routing and option to finish your equipment.
