Lian is a Damage Champion in Paladins, added on July 12th, 2017.
Lore
After a successful ploy to set herself up as the legitimate heiress to the Ruby Throne, nothing stood in Lian's way. Her sincere dedication to her family's legacy may have earned her the title of Scion, but her skill with the rifle is what won her the respect of her family's Royal Guard.
When the Magistrate called on all loyal houses to unite against the Resistance, she was honor- bound to accept, arriving from her far-off homeland to represent House Aico along with her faithful bodyguard and general, Khan.
Summary
Lian is a damage champion capable of dealing moderate amounts of damage in short time periods and who specializes in medium range combat and long range executions. Her semi-automatic Heirloom Rifle allows her to pressure enemy backlines and easily handle immediate threats. Unique to Lian, all her standard skills apply on-hit weapon effects such as Cauterize. Her ultimate skill, Enlightenment, deals high damage in a straight line while granting damage reduction and CC immunity while firing it, making it ideal for last stands and confirming runaway kills.

Trivia
- Lian's full name is Lian Amarasi-Marila, as revealed on her official Twitter account.
- As also revealed there, Lian prefers wearing formal garments over armor.
- Lian rules over an entire kingdom, as mentioned here.
- As mentioned here, Lian and House Aico have connections to the original Paladins.
- According to a loading screen tip found here, Lian attempted to convince Jenos to join House Aico, not the Magistrate.
- Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall, it was discovered that Lian would be around 5'6 or 166cm tall.
- Lian appears in Khan's Orders emote when using his default, Royal Guard, and Overlord skins, and can also be heard speaking when using the emote with Khan's Mixer and Eternal Guardian skins.
- One of Lian's voice lines, "In this game, you win or you die. There is no middle ground." (▶️), is a reference to a line from Game of Thrones.
- As revealed here, Tencent, the company behind the defunct Chinese version of Paladins, were largely responsible for the creation of Lian.
- This also reveals Lian's Dusk skin was originally meant to be her default appearance.
- It also reveals Lian was initially envisioned as being Asian.
- In older versions of Paladins, there used to be a number of additional recolors of default champions. For Lian, these recolors included the Veridian skin.
- Dusk
- Goddess
- This skin is based on Hera from one of Hi-Rez's other games, SMITE. This inspiration was explicitly confirmed here as well.
- This skin's kill taunt against Strix "You flew too close to the sun." (▶️) could be a reference to Icarus, an angel that flew too close to the sun and burnt his wings.
- One of this skin's jokes, "Confess your sins unto to me, child, and I will absolve you. Flank Pip? Sorry, you're beyond saving." (▶️), is a reference to a joke within the Paladins community poking fun at players who use Pip as a Flank champion as opposed to his intended purpose as a Support champion.
- One of this skin's jokes, "I try to be more involved than other deities. Most of them just want to fight each other, or periodically race go-karts." (▶️), is likely a reference to another game by Hi-Rez, SMITE, and a limited-time event the game had known as Apollo's Racer Rumble.
- This skin shares its theme with God of War Fernando and Buckules Buck.
- High Elf
- The line "No, I don't make toys; I'm not that kind of elf." (▶️) is a reference to Christmas elves.
- The line "Does this hair make my ears look thick?" (▶️) is a reference to the trope Does this Make Me Look Fat.
- Galactic Scion
- This skin is heavily based on Princess Leia's slave costume from Episode VI from Star Wars.
- As shown here, this skin originally featured Lian's legs completely bare, but it was changed prior to release for an unknown reason, possibly to differentiate it a bit more from its inspiration.
- V1-KTOR Viktor appears in this skin's splash art.
- This skin shares its theme with Dune Crawler Cassie, Mercenary Strix, Dark Lord Torvald and Ebon Star Zhin.
- Merrymaker
- The line "Dashing through the snow." (▶️) is a reference to the song Jingle Bells.
- This skin shares the joke "What do you call an old snowman? Water." (▶️) with Merrymaker Maeve.
- This skin is present in Merrymaker Dredge's splash art.
- This skin shares its theme with A-bomb-inable Bomb King, Merrymaker Evie, Merrymaker Dredge, Merrymaker Maeve, Sugar Plum Willo, and Kraumpus Raum.
- Shore Patrol / Beach Bash
- Certain voice lines refer to an unseen character named "Neil" (▶️ ▶️), which references a running joke in the Paladins community where Lian's ultimate voice line (▶️) would be misheard as "Neil!".
- These skins share their theme with Sun Kissed Cassie, Copacabana Cassie, Longboard Lex, Sarrada Lex, Shore Patrol Kinessa, Shore Patrol Koga, Shore Patrol Fernando, and the Beach Bash variants of the latter three.
- Dark Monarch / Death-Goddess
- These skins were designed by Alexis_Pflaum (who also designed Soul Briar Grover and Seeping Corruption Grover) for the Community Battle Pass.
- These skins were part of the Community Battle Pass alongside Ska'drin Ash, Scorned Ash, Wukong Talus, Monkey-King Talus, Soul Briar Grover and Seeping Corruption Grover.
