Introduction

Xiao Lon is a tricky, technical stance-based character who can play at any distance, but excels at rushdown. Sporting three different stances which alter her normal and special moves, Xiao Lon is capable of adapting her gameplan on the fly, changing between the mobile, aggressive Guki Kenpai (KEN) stance, her more balanced, mid-range focused Chousen Honshin (HON) stance, and the slow, space control heavy Seishi Saisou (SAI) stance to switch between rushdown and keepout on a dime, making her wildly unpredictable. Sporting easy to use supers with relatively high damage, Xiao Lon is an excellent choice for the second or third slot on a team. However, all of this offensive power comes at a cost -- her defense is quite weak, thanks to poor abare options and a small guard bar, which means things can very quickly go south if she's caught on the back foot.

While she does sport some meaningful weaknesses and a fairly high learning curve, Xiao Lon is a nonetheless powerful character who will be very rewarding for players who enjoy varied offensive options and the ability to change their gameplan and tempo on the fly.

Xiao Lon is a technical character who uses her three stances to play effectively at all ranges.
Pros	Cons
Well-rounded: Through smart use of her three stances, Xiao Lon is more than capable of playing at any distance. Great Metered Options: Xiao Lon excels in the second or third slots on a team thanks to her poweful supers that she can easily work into most of her confirms.	Poor Defense: With a short guard bar and very little in the way of stopping her opponent's offence, Xiao Lon can have a hard time re-establishing her gameplan if she's put on the back foot. Highly Technical: Xiao Lon players will have to juggle three stances, all with different Stylish Arts, special moves and movement speeds, which can make her exceptionally demanding.
