Enhanced Base Stats
"Diaochan is one of only a few mages who have to get up close and personal with her enemies. This leaves her more vulnerable to attacks, so we've enhanced her base stats in order to help her shine."
Made cooldown reduction for Skill 2 smoother.
"Diaochan's Skill 2 provides a significant cooldown reduction when hitting enemies, but it can be very frustrating when a miss disrupts follow-up combos. In order to alleviate this, we've made the cooldown reduction mechanism more continuous."

Background Story
“Try not to fall in love with me...”
To Diaochan, her beauty was both a gift of nature and the source of her misfortune. Hailing from the most powerful mercenary group in the world, her peerless beauty became a natural weapon of choice. As the dancer wandered the troubled world, in order to complete a mission, she had to pretend to reciprocate Lu Bu's affections. As had happened with so many others, Lu Bu paid for his love with his life. However, Diaochan longs for true freedom, and no one knows that her true desire lies hidden behind her mesmerising dance.
Skins
Character Relationships
Diaochan's graceful dances always reminded Lu Bu of the joyous times around the campfire long ago, and he was enamored with her. Though Lu Bu's death was plotted by Diaochan herself, she couldn't help but wonder if she felt nothing for him.
Though she had feelings for him, he left without saying a word. Now, as she goes through one battle after another, she constantly reminds herself to live on till the day of their reunion. At the same time, an unexpected thought makes her wonder: Has she mistaken nostalgia for adoration?
