Li Shizhen is an SSR Doctor Hero in Fate of the Empress. He is based on the historical Ming dynasty physician by the same name and is portrayed as a calm, mature, and knowledgeable healer. His character leans heavily into the idea of medical expertise and experience rather than combat strength, which is reflected in both his design and role.
In gameplay, he is a pure and sole support unit (^ ᆺ ^) His main purpose is healing and keeping the team alive during battles, especially in longer or more difficult stages. He works best when paired with strong damage dealers, since his value comes from sustain rather than offense!
Li Shizhen is depicted as a mature male character with a calm and scholarly appearance. He wears traditional long robes associated with physicians, typically in subdued and elegant colors. His outfit is modest and practical, emphasizing his role as a doctor rather than a combat-focused hero. He has long dark hair styled in a traditional fashion, usually tied back, and maintains a composed, serious expression.
