Dynasty Legends：Warriors Unite Sun Jian Awakening Guide

Awakening Sun Jian in Dynasty Legends：Warriors Unite upgrades him into a high-momentum frontline brawler built around grouping infantry, stripping enemy poise, and sustaining aerial juggle combos. To maximize his awakened kit, initiate encounters with his forward dash to herd targets, launch unshielded enemies into the air, and reserve his awakened ultimate for clearing backline reinforcements or dodging heavy boss attacks through invincibility frames.

Core Skill Rotation

Awakened Sun Jian relies on a strict sequence to group targets and keep them locked in hitstun:

1. Initiate and Cluster (Forward Dash Slash): Close the distance against archers or officer formations. The wide horizontal sweeps pull scattered targets together and chip away at officer poise bars.
2. Launch Airborne (Ascending Uppercut Slash): Once enemies cluster, trigger the upward slash to knock foot soldiers and broken-armor officers into the air, interrupting enemy skill casts.
3. Mid-Air Juggle (Normal Attack Chain): Weave light attacks while targets remain suspended to deal continuous damage and extend the juggle window without allowing counterattacks.
4. Slam Finisher (Downward Heavy Slash): Bring the broadsword down to generate an area-of-effect shockwave. This knocks surviving targets prone and creates space to recover stamina or reposition.

Handling Boss Poise and Super Armor

Elite bosses and officers possess super armor gauges that render them immune to knock-up attacks until their poise breaks.

• Check Poise Before Launching: Do not waste the ascending uppercut while an officer's armor bar remains full. Instead, probe the enemy with normal attack sweeps and forward dashes. Once the armor gauge breaks or flashes, immediately commit to the full aerial juggle sequence.
• Dodge Cancel Recovery Frames: Sun Jian’s heavy downward slam and the end of his light attack strings feature brief recovery animations. If an officer begins winding up an armored attack while Sun Jian is mid-combo, cancel out of the animation using a directional dodge to slip behind the boss.
• Angle Toward Boundaries: Sun Jian's forward momentum can push him past targets in open ground. Aim his dash attacks toward stage walls or environmental boundaries to trap officers and prevent enemies from scattering.

Awakened Ultimate Timing

Sun Jian’s awakened ultimate executes a multi-stage slash flurry infused with fire that serves two functions:

• Defensive Invulnerability (I-Frames): Sun Jian cannot take damage during his ultimate animation. When a boss prepares an unblockable, wide-radius area attack, trigger the ultimate to negate incoming burst while maintaining active offense.
• Backline Wave Clearing: Dense spawns of ranged archers and casters interrupt combo chains with staggered projectiles. Save the ultimate for the arrival of ranged reinforcement waves to clear backline units before they set up defensive firing lines.
