Lao is the base version of the Heart unit in Anime Crusaders. This simple form introduces his martial-arts-inspired combat style, focusing on quick melee attacks with supportive potential. While Lao (Heart) evolves into a more powerful and utility-driven fighter, the simple Lao is mostly a straightforward early-game unit that provides reliable damage and survivability for beginners.
Rarity and Acquisition
- Rarity: Secret
- Availability: Obtainable through the standard summon banner
- Accessibility: Easier to obtain than Lao (Heart), making him a beginner-friendly choice for early team building
Abilities and Skills
Lao’s abilities are centered on martial techniques with a hint of defensive support.
- Palm Strike – A fast melee hit that deals solid single-target damage
- Spirit Kick – A short-range move that damages multiple enemies in a line
- Inner Focus – Passive ability that slightly boosts his defense, allowing him to survive longer than most simple units
This mix makes him a balanced fighter with a slight durability edge.
Strengths
- Easy to summon and add to early rosters
- Balanced stats between offense and survivability
- Useful for story progression, especially in melee-heavy maps
- Can serve as a stepping stone toward the stronger Lao (Heart)
Weaknesses
- Limited offensive power compared to other simple units like Brulo or Nagu
- Lacks strong AoE or ranged attacks
- Falls behind quickly in Infinite Mode and advanced raids
- Provides little team utility beyond his own defense buff
Best Uses
- Story Mode: Reliable for early missions thanks to his survivability
- Beginner Raids: Can stay alive longer than most simple units, though his damage is limited
- Early Infinite Mode: Works in lower waves but struggles to clear large groups efficiently
Tier Placement
- Early Game: B-Tier
- Late Game: D-Tier
- Reason: Lao is steady and survivable but not as strong offensively as other early-game units, making him fall behind quickly in competitive play.
