Historical Background

Diao Chan is a legendary beauty from the Three Kingdoms era: according to the novel *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, she orchestrated a “chain of intrigue” that pitted Dong Zhuo against Lü Bu and ultimately brought about the tyrant’s downfall. One of China’s “Four Great Beauties.”

Diao Chan + Boudica

Player Reviews

Players say: Diao Chan is the “queen of farming.” Her stun works unexpectedly well in PvP, too, which makes team fights more fun. They recommend leveling her up after Lohar for a second farming run.

Tips

Use Diao Chan for forts and elite barbarians: her defense debuff helps the whole squad. Don’t skimp on experience books for her—leveling up grants Rage and damage.
