Lon'qu build

Being a character I really like I want to build around him but haven't seen many builds around with his new weapon, now that he is arena focus unit I want to build him and could use suggestions.

First I got him the Life and Death in the sword so I don't know if I should go for another L&D in A slot, something like fury or something else
For B I have a spare Wrath that I don't know who to give to, maybe he is a good candidate, maybe keep vantage, maybe something else?
C slot I'll try to find some Spd or Atk Wave
Special I guess galeforce over Aether, am I right?
I'd love to hear suggestions and ideas, thanks!

OOOOOOOOH You mean Fortnite

if you want something unique, double life and death shield pulse and pavise can make lonqu deceptively tanky while still dealing lots of damage.
If youre looking for a more typical build lnd fury and wrath will work just fine.

If you run double LnD, desperation is almost a must, but if you run fury, wrath and then atk wave with aether, you'll be golden, since he out speeds basically everything at neutral, so just keep buffing that attack

One pretty fun build is Solitary Blade +Eff, with Pavise, Life and Death, Shield Pulse, and Flashing Blade. It makes him a lot more sustainable in multiple fights, and he can do some pretty great things.

Or, here's mine, +Atk -Res. It works pretty great too.

Glad to see people are picking up on his potential with shield pulse.

If you don't go for shield pulse I definitely recommend desperation. Fury, swift sparrow, double L&D, doesn't matter; he's going to have a hard time taking two hits to either defensive stat.

Atk wave can be nice; I try to be cheap so I would probably stick to hone atk on his teammate and give Lon'qu something like drive def. If you have someone to reposition him out, atk smoke is also an interesting option.

Galeforce definitely over aether. Aether won't trigger at the right time for him. Reprisal (fury recommended here) or flashing blade vengeance is the main alternative. (Moonbow and luna are also options, but you probably gain more damage by scaling off lost HP than the opponent's def if I did my mental math right.) If you go for galeforce I think I suggest double L&D. He doesn't hit as hard as Karla or Raven.

There's also an odd thing you can do with AoE specials. Put flashing blade in his A-slot (or take the seal if you're not afraid of vantage), add hardy bearing, and use wrath. I like this build less on him than on Karla or Raven because you have to find a way to beat one opponent without the special, which isn't necessarily easy with only 53 atk.
