SSR Ice Guardian Tank
Lily is a defense-scaling tank that is good mostly in PvP. She uses damage mitigation and shields to become super tanky. She is one of the best tanky units in the game. Her unique [Battle Intention] system allows her to cast an enhanced ultimate that nullifies all incoming damage for 10 seconds.

Main Stats by Position
Recommended main stats for each rune position for Lily:
Position 1 — Fixed Main Stat
Always HP - no other options
Position 2 — Fixed Main Stat
Always Attack - no other options
Position 3 — Fixed Main Stat
Always Defense - no other options
Position 4 — Variable Main Stats
Recommended: Defense (%) / HP (%)
Available Options:
Healing Effectiveness (%) Critical Rate (%) Critical Damage (%) Attack Penetration (%) Attack (%) HP (%) Defense (%)
Defense % or HP % both are fine. The problem with defense is it has diminishing returns, so getting 1 HP % and 2 DEF % is not a bad mix IMO.
Position 5 — Variable Main Stats
Recommended: Defense (%) / HP (%)
Available Options:
Wind Attribute Damage (%) Fire Attribute Damage (%) Ice Attribute Damage (%) Holy Attribute Damage (%) Chaos Attribute Damage (%) Attack (%) HP (%) Defense (%)

Team Synergy
Good Teammates:
Any teamPvP teams
Lily is a PvP unit, she is alright in PvE but I would use her in PvP with Awakening 2, as that will help the team to survive.
