As you explore the haunted witch’s maze in Dungeon Stalkers, you’ll have the chance to try out different characters and fighting styles. Each character is distinct, but some require more skill to master.
One such character with a more challenging fighting style is Lian. She fights using a bow and her Mana pool to track enemies and hit targets accurately. Unlocking her takes some effort, but we’ll guide you on how to make the most of your time so you can start shooting goblins and other stalkers blocking your way. Here’s how to begin building Lian!
Lian Overview
Lian is a special dungeon stalker who isn’t human. She’s considered a Saint, which grants her powerful abilities, making her an excellent long-range fighter. Her skills mainly focus on her bow and the fiery lotus she summons to locate enemies.
You won’t start with her unlocked. To use her, you need to earn Wishstones or farm Adventure Tokens. Once unlocked, Lian can be a game-changing addition. Since she’s a mid-level character, she requires some practice to use effectively.
Stats to Focus On
| Stat | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Wisdom | Boosts your maximum Mana, essential because her skills consume a lot of Mana. Higher Wisdom also lowers the Mana cost of her abilities. |
| Dexterity | Improves movement speed, helping you stay safe and avoid getting cornered. |
| Constitution | Raises your max HP and causes damage over time, reducing the risk of dying and maximizing arrow efficiency. |
| Ultimate Skill Recovery | Faster recovery means more frequent use of her ultimate ability, which doesn’t consume arrows. |
Since Lian uses a lot of Mana, raising her Mana capacity and speed helps her stay active longer. Look for gear and Runes that boost her Ultimate Gauge Recovery, allowing her to use her skills more often without running out of arrows.
Runes for Solo Play
| Rune | Effect |
|---|---|
| Meditation | Increases Mana regeneration so you won’t run out of Mana during fights. |
| Conservation | Reduces Mana consumption of her skills. |
| Vitality | When her Mana is over 40%, she deals increased damage with skills. |
| Fighter (Sub) | Boosts damage dealt with her bow and arrows. |
| Swiftness | Enhances movement speed through cloth armor pieces. |
On your own, balancing movement and Mana regeneration is key. This setup helps you attack quickly while avoiding damage from enemies.
DPS Runes for Group Play
| Rune | Effect |
|---|---|
| Tempest | Increases overall magic damage. |
| Rage | Boosts physical damage. |
| Charge | Speeds up her ultimate gauge recovery. |
| Meditation | More Mana regeneration during fights. |
| Conservation | Reduces the Mana cost of her skills. |
These Runes maximize your damage output and ensure your ultimate can be used more frequently without wasting arrows.
Support Runes for Group Play
| Rune | Effect |
|---|---|
| Explosion | Enhances the area of effect of throwables like bombs. |
| Immunity | Increases resistance to physical and magic attacks when you drink potions. |
| Resurrection | Auto-revives you when you fall, with a short cooldown once upgraded. |
| Distortion | Shortens cooldowns on skills. |
| Meditation | Consistent Mana regeneration, keeping you ready for fight after fight. |
Support runes provide valuable tools for staying alive and helping your team, especially with resurrection in case things turn bad.

How To Play Lian
Since Lian is an archer, maintaining distance from enemies is crucial. Use her skills to your advantage:
