Last Z Licia is a Blood Rose combat hero built around personal damage, troop capacity, and a particularly valuable interaction with Bella. She fits naturally into Assaulter-focused formations and is most comfortable in a protected back-row position.
Her value is not simply about whether she produces the highest damage number on your account. Licia combines damage with formation-level utility, which means her usefulness depends heavily on your faction, troop development, Bella investment, and the other heroes already occupying your main five.
This guide explains Licia’s skills, Bella synergy, formation placement, gear priorities, upgrade order, PvP considerations, and whether she deserves scarce resources on F2P, low-spender, or more competitive accounts.
Last Z Licia Overview
Licia is associated with Blood Rose and works particularly well alongside Assaulter troops. She is generally used as a damage-oriented back-row hero rather than as a frontline defender.
| Detail | Licia |
|---|---|
| Faction | Blood Rose |
| Season Association | Season 3 |
| Troop Match | Assaulter |
| General Role | Damage / formation utility |
| Recommended Position | Back row |
| Key Partner | Bella |
| Best Fit | Established Blood Rose / Assaulter accounts |
Licia is therefore most attractive when she strengthens a direction you have already chosen. If your account is heavily invested in Wings of Dawn, Guard of Order, or another troop path, unlocking Licia alone is not necessarily a good reason to redirect months of resources.
Is Licia Good in Last Z?
Yes, Licia can be very good when she is used in the right Blood Rose formation. Her combination of damage, troop-capacity utility, and Bella synergy gives her more formation value than a hero whose only contribution is personal DPS.
However, “good” does not mean automatic priority for every account. Hero value in Last Z changes according to star development, skills, equipment, troop research, faction bonuses, available seasonal heroes, and the opponents common on your server.
Licia Faction and Assaulter Synergy
![]()
Licia belongs to Blood Rose, the faction normally paired with Assaulter troops. That connection matters because a strong formation should align hero investment, troop research, faction bonuses, and equipment instead of treating each system independently.
| Faction | Troop Match | Faction Advantage | Faction Disadvantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blood Rose | Assaulters | Guard of Order | Wings of Dawn |
This does not mean every Blood Rose formation automatically beats every Guard of Order formation. Stars, troop tiers, research, gear, hero combinations, and raw formation strength can outweigh a faction advantage. Treat the counter system as an important matchup factor rather than a guaranteed result.
Last Z Licia Skills Explained
The strongest reason to understand Last Z Licia skills is that each part of her kit solves a different problem. She has sustained damage, burst damage, march utility, and a conditional synergy talent rather than four versions of the same effect.
| Skill | Type | Main Effect | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Talon Tear | Normal attack enhancement | Improves Licia’s normal-attack damage factor. | Supports sustained damage between active-skill activations. |
| Shadow Rush | Active attack | Licia moves behind the enemy and performs a series of claw strikes. | Provides her main burst-damage contribution. |
| Silent Stalker | March / formation skill | Improves troop capacity and gains additional personal combat scaling through development. | Adds value to the entire march rather than only Licia’s personal attacks. |
| Feline Veil | Exclusive talent | Provides a conditional defensive benefit when Licia is deployed with Bella. | Creates Licia’s most important hero-specific formation synergy. |
Talon Tear helps Licia maintain pressure throughout a fight, while Shadow Rush is the more obvious burst component of her kit. Players interested mainly in Licia’s personal DPS will naturally value these two skills highly.
Silent Stalker is strategically important because troop capacity affects the march Licia is actually leading. That makes it relevant even when another Blood Rose hero is responsible for more of the visible damage.
Feline Veil is what changes Licia from a standalone damage hero into a formation-specific investment. Community hero data currently lists a damage-resistance effect for Assaulters when Bella and Licia are deployed together, with the talent becoming broader at later star progression. Check Licia’s current in-game talent panel before committing rare materials because displayed values and progression systems can change with updates.
Best Licia Skill Upgrade Priority
There is no single upgrade order that fits every Licia account because the correct priority changes according to why you are using her.
| Goal | Recommended Focus |
|---|---|
| Formation efficiency | Silent Stalker first, then Feline Veil if Bella is present. |
| Personal burst damage | Shadow Rush becomes a higher priority. |
| Sustained DPS | Continue improving Talon Tear after the higher-impact formation and burst upgrades. |
| Licia + Bella core | Do not neglect Feline Veil because the pairing is part of Licia’s reason for being in the team. |
For a typical Blood Rose account, a sensible approach is to prioritize the skills that improve the whole march, keep Feline Veil developed when Bella is part of the lineup, and then push Licia’s direct damage according to how much of your formation’s DPS she is responsible for.
If Licia is your main damage dealer rather than a secondary Blood Rose piece, you can justify putting more resources into Shadow Rush earlier.
Licia and Bella Synergy
Bella is Licia’s most important named synergy partner. Feline Veil specifically rewards deploying the two heroes together, giving Blood Rose players a reason to evaluate Licia as part of a pair rather than ranking her only by solo damage.
This creates three practical situations:
- Licia + Bella: best way to access Licia’s full pairing value.
- Licia without Bella: still contributes damage and troop-capacity utility, but loses the main conditional benefit from Feline Veil.
- Bella without Licia: Bella can still fill her own role, but you do not receive Licia’s pairing talent.
Best Formation and Position for Licia
Licia is generally best used in a protected back-row slot. Front-row positions are better reserved for heroes whose kits and equipment are designed to survive sustained incoming damage.
A practical structure is:
- Front row: two durable defenders or heroes providing strong defensive value.
- Back row: Licia plus your strongest damage or support heroes.
- Troops: prioritize Assaulters when Blood Rose is your established faction path.
A full Blood Rose formation can offer the cleanest faction alignment, but you should not force five poorly developed Blood Rose heroes simply to make the lineup look complete. A stronger 3+2 arrangement may perform better while your roster is developing.
Likewise, a hero with substantially better stars, skills, and gear can sometimes outperform the theoretically ideal faction choice. Test formations against comparable opponents rather than relying entirely on a template.
Best Heroes to Pair with Licia
The following existing Heaven Guardian hero guides remain useful when planning a Licia formation:
| Hero | Potential Role with Licia |
|---|---|
| Bella | Direct Feline Veil synergy partner. |
| Yu Chan | Strong Blood Rose damage option when available and sufficiently developed. |
| Selena | Additional Blood Rose combat pressure. |
| Oliveira | Offensive Blood Rose alternative depending on development. |
| Katrina | Useful when you need more frontline or formation support. |
| Sophia | Account utility or temporary formation value depending on progression. |
The best five heroes are ultimately the five your account can develop effectively. Do not remove a heavily upgraded hero simply because a newer theoretical lineup looks better at equal investment.
Best Gear for Licia
If Licia belongs to your main formation, she should receive proper equipment rather than whatever remains after gearing every other hero.
For a damage-oriented Licia, useful priorities include:
- Attack-related stats to strengthen her direct damage contribution.
- Damage-oriented stats where available and appropriate.
- HP and defensive value so she stays alive long enough to use her kit.
- Balanced development across the main formation instead of massively overbuilding one item while other important pieces remain weak.
Orange equipment is the main long-term target for serious hero investment. However, expensive promotion and late-stage equipment upgrades have substantial opportunity cost, particularly for F2P and low-spending accounts.
That means your first objective is not necessarily to maximize every Licia gear piece. It is to make sure the entire main formation has a functional equipment baseline before spending increasingly expensive materials on marginal improvements.
Licia Upgrade Priority
A practical Licia development path looks like this:
- Keep Licia’s hero level appropriate for your main formation.
- Develop Silent Stalker or Shadow Rush according to whether formation value or personal damage is your immediate priority.
- Upgrade Feline Veil when Bella is an established teammate.
- Continue improving Talon Tear for sustained damage.
- Advance stars when Licia has a long-term slot in your Blood Rose team.
- Equip and improve appropriate orange gear.
- Continue Assaulter-focused combat research.
- Develop the other four heroes instead of creating one overbuilt Licia surrounded by weak teammates.
This order should be adjusted around events, available fragments, skill materials, and your current bottleneck. If one upgrade consumes resources needed for a much stronger improvement elsewhere in the formation, waiting can be the better decision.
Is Licia Worth Building for F2P Players?
Licia can be worth building for F2P players who are already committed to Blood Rose. The important word is committed. F2P accounts usually cannot afford to develop several competing factions at the same rate.
Licia becomes more attractive when:
- Blood Rose is already your main faction.
- Your Assaulter research is ahead of other troop branches.
- Bella is developed enough to use the pairing effectively.
- Licia has a realistic place in your main five.
- You can obtain enough fragments and skill materials without starving your primary carry.
She becomes a lower priority when your strongest formation belongs to another faction or when upgrading Licia would force you to abandon substantially better-developed heroes.
Licia for Low Spenders and Competitive Players
Low spenders should apply the same discipline as F2P players, just with a slightly larger resource pool. Spending on every hero that appears usually produces several incomplete builds rather than one reliable main team.
If you choose to purchase hero-related offers or other progression resources, compare the contents against your actual bottleneck before using a Last Z top up. Extra resources are most useful when they complete a planned upgrade rather than encouraging you to spread investment across heroes you do not intend to keep.
More competitive players can justify pushing Licia further when the Bella pairing and Blood Rose formation are central to their PvP strategy. Even then, compare each expensive upgrade with the opportunity cost of developing your primary carry, frontline durability, troop research, or another core formation system.
How to Use Licia in PvP
Licia’s PvP value depends on more than her displayed hero power. Before attacking, look at the opposing faction and the development of the entire formation.
Blood Rose generally has the favorable faction side against Guard of Order and the unfavorable side against Wings of Dawn. As a result, Licia can feel very different against two opponents with similar displayed power.
| Opponent | General Consideration |
|---|---|
| Guard of Order | Blood Rose has the faction advantage, but formation strength still matters. |
| Blood Rose | Usually decided more heavily by stars, skills, equipment, troop strength, and hero composition. |
| Wings of Dawn | Approach carefully because Blood Rose is on the unfavorable side of the faction counter. |
Do not attack solely because your displayed formation power is higher. A better-developed counter formation can outperform a numerically stronger team.
Common Licia Mistakes to Avoid
- Building Licia only because she is an orange hero. Her value still depends on your roster and faction plan.
- Ignoring Bella. Doing so removes the main conditional benefit of Feline Veil.
- Putting Licia in the front row. She normally benefits more from protected positioning.
- Ignoring Assaulter development. Hero and troop investment should support the same formation plan.
- Spreading fragments across several factions. This slows the heroes that actually fight in your primary team.
- Maxing one gear piece while the rest of the main team is under-equipped.
- Copying a high-spender formation without matching its stars, equipment, and research.
- Assuming an older tier list will remain permanent. New heroes and progression systems can change relative priorities.
- Switching factions immediately after unlocking a new hero. Compare the cost of changing direction before moving rare resources.
FAQ
Is Licia good in Last Z?
Yes. Licia is a useful Blood Rose hero with damage, troop-capacity utility, and a valuable Bella interaction. She is most worthwhile when she fits an established Assaulter-focused Blood Rose formation.
What are Licia’s skills in Last Z?
Licia’s current skill set is commonly listed as Talon Tear, Shadow Rush, Silent Stalker, and Feline Veil. They cover normal-attack damage, active burst damage, troop-capacity utility, and her conditional Bella synergy.
Check the current in-game hero screen for exact numerical values because skill values and progression details may change between updates.
What is the best Licia skill to upgrade first?
It depends on your goal. Silent Stalker is valuable for formation-level utility, while Shadow Rush deserves higher priority if Licia is functioning as one of your main damage dealers. If Bella is permanently in the formation, do not neglect Feline Veil.
Is Bella good with Licia?
Yes. Bella is Licia’s most important specific synergy partner because Feline Veil activates an additional benefit when the two are deployed together. This is one of the main reasons to use Licia in a committed Blood Rose lineup.
What position should Licia use?
Licia should generally be placed in the back row. She contributes more effectively when stronger defensive heroes absorb pressure in front of her.
What troops should I use with Licia?
Assaulters are the natural match for a Blood Rose Licia formation. However, your actual team should still reflect the troop research and hero development already present on your account rather than forcing a low-level formation simply for faction purity.
Is Licia worth upgrading for F2P players?
Yes, if Blood Rose is your chosen faction and Licia has a long-term place in your main formation. She is much harder to justify for an F2P account that already has most of its fragments, equipment, and research committed to another faction.
Should I replace another Blood Rose hero with Licia?
Not automatically. Compare hero stars, skills, gear, formation role, and Bella synergy before replacing anyone. A highly developed older hero can outperform a theoretically stronger Licia that is still underbuilt.
Conclusion
Last Z Licia is most valuable as part of a deliberate Blood Rose plan. Her damage matters, but Silent Stalker and the Bella-dependent Feline Veil talent give her formation utility that should also influence your investment decision.
Use Licia in the back row, align her with Assaulter development, and avoid evaluating her separately from Bella and the rest of your main five. If resources are limited, improving one coherent formation is usually more efficient than trying to build every strong hero you unlock.
For F2P and low-spending players, the key question is not simply whether Licia is strong. It is whether she strengthens the faction and formation you can realistically continue developing. Competitive players should make the same comparison while also accounting for matchup trends and future seasonal changes.
