The Outlaws of Liangshan have officially entered the battlefield in Empires & Puzzles Beta V77.4, bringing fresh energy and powerful synergy to your roster. Introduced via the War of the Three Kingdoms Summon Portal, this new hero family is based on legendary figures from the Water Margin tales, and they’re making a big impact with their critical chance-focused family bonus and combat buffs during specific events.

Let’s break down everything you need to know—from family bonuses to a detailed look at each new hero and where they shine.

Outlaws of Liangshan Family Bonus: Critical Hits and Morale Buffs

The core mechanic of the Outlaws of Liangshan family is their scaling Critical Chance bonus. The more heroes from this family you bring into battle, the higher their chance to land critical strikes—amplifying their offensive power significantly.

But there’s more: during the War of the Three Kingdoms event, both these heroes and any allies fighting alongside them receive additional buffs:

• 🗡️ +10% Attack
• 🛡️ +3% Defense
• ❤️ +7% Health

These boosts can tilt the scales during close battles, giving your team the edge it needs.

Meet the Heroes – Outlaws of Liangshan Roster Overview

Here’s a closer look at the six new heroes introduced in this update. Each one is designed to serve multiple roles, making them versatile choices for both offense and defense.

🎥 Note: Liu Tang was already featured in a previous video, so he won’t appear in the test footage later on.

Liu Tang – The Red-Haired Devil of Water Margin

Liu Tang is a rare hero who punches well above his weight. With a versatile skill set, he can take hits, heal allies, boost your team, and deal decent damage. He’s perfect for beginner and mid-game teams who need a flexible frontline option that can do a little bit of everything.

Gu Dasao – The Female Tiger of Water Margin

• Rarity: Epic
• Element: Holy ☀️
• Class: Druid
• Role: Damage Dealer, Counterattacker, Mana Debuffer

Gu Dasao excels at both dealing damage and disrupting the enemy. Her mana-debuffing abilities can slow down dangerous heroes, while her counterattack makes her a serious threat even when targeted. She’s equally effective on offense and defense, providing balance and bite.

Song Jiang – The Timely Rain of Water Margin

Ruan Xiaoqi brings steady pressure with consistent damage-over-time and critical boosts. He can dispel enemy buffs, making him particularly effective against buff-heavy teams. His kit fits nicely in both offensive blitz strategies and defensive counters.

Chao Gai – The Pagoda-Shifting Heavenly King

• Rarity: Legendary
• Element: Dark 🌑
• Class: Druid
• Role: Buffer, Sniper, Damage Dealer, Ghost Form

Chao Gai stands out for his rare ability to become a ghost unit—temporarily avoiding damage while still dishing it out. He’s ideal for clutch situations and late-game survivability. On top of that, his sniper skills ensure you can quickly eliminate priority targets.

Li Kui – The Iron Ox of Water Margin

• Rarity: Legendary
• Element: Fire 🔥
• Class: Barbarian
• Role: Buffer, Reaper, Taunter

Li Kui is your front-line bruiser. With strong taunt mechanics and team-wide buffs, he acts as the anchor for both attacking and defending squads. If you’re looking for a tank that brings value beyond just soaking damage, Li Kui is your go-to.
