Yulong Team
A dedicated team of gamers producing thoroughly researched F2P strategy guides. Our content is written by real players who have cleared the content they write about — on budget accounts with real constraints.
Our Mission
The gaming guide landscape is dominated by content optimized for whales and spenders. Most guides assume you have the latest limited 5-star character with their signature weapon and multiple constellations. This leaves a massive gap for the vast majority of players — over 90% of players in most live-service games — who engage with these games as free-to-play or low-spending accounts.
Yulong Guides addresses this gap directly. Every guide on this site is written from a F2P perspective with real constraints: no 5-star constellations, no signature weapons, no premium battle pass resources. We produce two categories of content:
- Evidence-Based Strategy: In-depth analysis of budget team compositions, 4-star character optimization, and F2P clearing strategies for endgame content that major guide sites overlook. Each guide includes specific stat thresholds, rotation sequences, and alternative options at different investment levels.
- Timely Meta Analysis: Rapid coverage of new characters and content updates, providing launch-week guidance from a budget player's perspective. When a new character releases, our analysis focuses on whether they're worth your limited Primogems/Stellar Jade/Gems — not just how they perform at C6 with their signature weapon.
Our Content Standards
Every guide published on Yulong Guides meets these criteria:
- Tested on F2P accounts: Strategies are verified on accounts with realistic budget constraints, not theorycrafted from spreadsheet calculations alone.
- Updated regularly: We track game patch notes and update guides within 1-2 weeks of major balance changes. Our last-updated dates are always visible on each article.
- Community-informed: We synthesize insights from trusted community sources — KeqingMains theorycrafting, r/Genshin_Impact_Tips, NIKKE.gg, Marvel Snap Zone, Brawl Stars competitive Discord servers, and official game subreddits.
- Transparent methodology: Tier lists include clear criteria for how rankings are determined (e.g., "ranked at C0 with 4-star weapons for Spiral Abyss Floor 12"). No hidden assumptions.
- No AI-generated filler: Every guide is written and reviewed by human players who understand the games they cover. We don't use AI to generate strategy content — the analysis comes from actual gameplay experience.

Content Philosophy
Precision over volume. A focused 1,500-word analysis of a specific F2P team composition against a particular boss provides more practical value than 5,000 words of surface-level character descriptions. Every guide is designed to be immediately actionable — you should be able to read it and apply the advice to your account in your next play session.
Data Sources
Our guides draw from multiple sources to ensure accuracy and comprehensiveness:
- Community theorycrafting: KeqingMains (Genshin), Prydwen (Star Rail), NIKKE.gg, Marvel Snap Zone, and Brawl Stars competitive communities
- In-game testing: Direct experimentation on F2P accounts to verify damage thresholds, rotation timing, and clear viability
- Game data APIs: Public APIs and datamined information for accurate stat values, drop rates, and mechanic details (where permitted by game ToS)
- Competitive gameplay footage: Analysis of high-level F2P clears from content creators and community members
- Official patch notes and developer communications: Direct source for balance changes, new content, and meta shifts
