What makes me at all qualified to talk about this?
This section will cover what makes me feel like I can make a guide on Feng Min.

I'll try keep this section as short as possible. Simply put, I have used Feng to complete every single difficulty in this game and have tried out multiple strategies to varying success.

I have put quite a bit of time into the game to get every achievement as well, and Feng carried most of my achievements, if not all of them.

Hopefully this will be convincing enough for you all. On top of this also, I will be updating this guide when I find out new information and/or get told about new information.
Section 1: Who is Feng Min and what does she do?
This section will be covering what Feng Min's role inside of the game is.

Feng Min is a character that specialises in being up close to her targets and dealing massive amounts of damage to groups of enemies.

Feng can very easily deal with groups of enemies without taking much damage and can often times clear a group of enemies before they can even attack back.

Feng also gets access to a healing pool ability that can heal her up slowly to max without breaking a sweat.

Feng is unlocked by completing the game on any difficulty no matter what. So if you really wanna use her, play a very easy round and she'll be unlocked immediately.


Feng gets access to 3 abilities:

Energy Slash [M1]:
Feng can click M1 to fire an energy slash towards the direction she is facing. This slash gets slighter bigger as it travels and will not break on impact with an enemy, however it does break after flying for a long time or colliding with any part of the map.

Spin Slash [M2]:
Feng can click M2 to spin in a circle, dealing a good amount of AoE (Area of Effect) to enemies nearby her. During this animation she will not be allowed to use other abilities.

Healing Pond [Q]:
Feng can throw a droplet of water out that will create a pool on impact with the ground. If Feng or another survivor stands in this pool they will regenerate HP every second.
Section 2: Skills and their rankings
This section will cover what skills you can unlock on Feng after exiting a floor.

As like all the other characters, Feng gets access to a few unique skills to use that she can pick from after exiting a floor. These skills are specifically tailored for Feng and buff certain parts of her kit.

These skills can make Feng an unstoppable beast, so make sure you pick your skills wisely and don't rush to pick a skill just for it to be ineffective.

For this purpose, I will be adding a rank to each skill. S = best, A = great, B = fine, C = underwhelming, F = terrible.


Feng's skills are:

Up and Away:
Jumping will cause an small AoE to appear around you. This will deal slight knockback and damage to any enemy it hits.

B Tier.
Great for dealing damage but only really a good pick if there isn't anything better.

Resolve:
Increases Feng's damage when she falls below 50% of her HP.

C Tier.
It's a fine skill but Feng mainly revolves around staying at max hp with her Healing Pond, so you won't get much value out of it.

Rending Slice:
Increases Feng's Spin Slice damage permanently.

A Tier.
Amazing skill for doing huge damage to enemies. Almost always worth a grab.

Shield Bash:
Dashing into an enemy will cause them to take damage.

B Tier.
Same reasons as Up and Away.

Crushing Sprint:
Killing an enemy will cause Feng to become faster and deal more damage for a short time period. If Feng kills another character the timer will reset.

S Tier.
Hands down her best skill. This can demolish enemies within seconds if played well and is a must have.

Kill Streak Healing:
Killing an enemy has a chance to heal Feng.

B Tier.
Great skill however Feng already has a Healing Pond, so it isn't the best most of the time. However definitely worth a grab.

Lasting Pond:
Increases the duration that Healing Pond stays up for.

F Tier.
You will almost never need Feng's pond to stay up for longer. If a time comes where you do, by the time her pond despawns the cooldown will almost be up anyway.
Section 3: How should I play her for the best results?
This section will cover the best way [from my experience] to play Feng.

Feng Min is very reliant on using both her Energy Slash and Spin Slice. Using both of these abilities constantly will do enough damage to almost always be killing enemies.

Feng is also a lot better when you focus on dealing as much damage and not so much on staying alive. Feng starts with a lot of HP so she is able to take heaps of damage and then heal them all back with Healing Pond either way.

On top of this, Feng almost never ends up lacking in damage against enemies. So you can easily keep going through levels without grinding too many bloodpoints before moving on. However, it is still a good idea to grind a few bloodpoints just in case.

Do not worry about using Healing Pond or any abilities. Their cooldowns are super short so even if you miss you will be given your ability back in no time.


I would also recommend going for large groups of enemies as your piercing moves will get rid of them a lot faster then a solo enemy. You may also struggle with flying enemies but simply getting a lot of jump boost or double jump boots will allow you to reach them with your Spin Slice and deal heaps of damage.
Final Thoughts
This section will cover what I think of Feng Min as a whole.

Feng Min is, without a doubt, the best character in this game. She allowed me to easily complete all the difficulties in the game without much push back. Even Terrified can be a breeze as Feng Min.

With that being said, if you want to have a challenge, you may not enjoy Feng that much. Her play-style consists of just spamming your moves onto on enemy and it dying within seconds. Other characters may be up your alley a bit more if you enjoy a challenge.


But out of the other characters in this game. Feng Min reigns supreme and is by far the #1 character in the game. The other characters have their own unique quirks, but Feng's is just arguably better then theirs.

Good luck trying out Feng Min! Also, if there is anything I missed or you believe I should add, please leave it in the comments.

Have fun!

Could you potentially do a guide for multiplayer(with feng min but other characters would also be cool)? I enjoyed reading this and agreed to everything you said. Id also like to see a guide on other characters. While feng is strong in dealing damage and AoE I think Dwight is better, same deal with clud but for healing.
