A microscopic shudder, but enough to make her punch it again. “They're just angry that you keep winning without a gun.” Her Ghost danced fretfully around her fist. “That's why they say these things. Jealousy.” | ||
“I tell you,” Ning grunted, shattering granite, “someday they'll lose their smart guns and fancy ships, and then they'll wish they'd listened! There's one weapon you can always count on, and it's your strong hand.” | |||
“[[Eriana-3|Eriana]] would be sad to hear you dismissing machines.” Her Ghost bobbed slyly up to her shoulder. “Eriana would ask if those mighty hands could build a machine in the image of your strength. Just like she was made in the image of a woman.” | |||

In addition to the above, Fighting Lion's grenades deal increased damage to elemental energy shields. Opponents with [[Void]] shields will rarely withstand even one shot from Fighting Lion, while those with [[Solar]] or [[Arc]] shields still succumb quickly. This weapon can even be a viable choice in activities where Match Game is on thanks to this bonus damage, though other exotics such as [[Hard Light]] or [[Arbalest]] are better-suited for the task. | In addition to the above, Fighting Lion's grenades deal increased damage to elemental energy shields.

Otherwise, Fighting Lion functions much the same as any other | Otherwise, Fighting Lion functions much the same as any other "Special Grenade Launcher", being a single-shot, break-action weapon that fires bouncing grenades from a two-step trigger. Grenades are shot by holding the trigger, then detonated midair by releasing it; alternatively, they will explode on direct impact with an enemy. It serves the same purpose of a normal one, with its uptime limited by its reload speed instead of its ammunition capacity. | ||
Fighting Lion's usage of Primary ammo instead of Special ammo means that it can be used much more liberally in the [[Crucible]]. However, keep in mind the weapon's damage is too low to kill a target in a single direct hit from full health; Fighting Lion is best used for softening up targets (or groups of targets) from a distance, or finishing off a wounded opponent from around a corner. | Fighting Lion's usage of Primary ammo instead of Special ammo means that it can be used much more liberally in the [[Crucible]].

Ironically, years later, the weapon would instead be briefly seen as ''overpowered'' instead of underpowered during Season 14, albeit exclusively in the [[Crucible]], leading to the weapon gaining its infamously slow reload speed in Season 15. | ||
*Before Season 15 gave all Primary-ammo-firing weapons infinite reserve ammo, one of Fighting Lion's exotic perks caused enemies killed by its grenades to always drop bricks of Primary ammo. When the change was made, this effect was removed due to being redundant. | *Before Season 15 gave all Primary-ammo-firing weapons infinite reserve ammo, one of Fighting Lion's exotic perks caused enemies killed by its grenades to always drop bricks of Primary ammo.

*The quote associated with this weapon could possibly be a reference to famous Chinese folklore about the war of the three kingdoms. In the quote Wei Ning calls the weapon "Zhang Fei", the name of one of the founding leaders and most brutish generals of the faction led by Liu Bei in the tale of the three kingdoms. This reference would make sense considering the weapon's link to Asian culture and the fact Zhang Fei was known as a brutish, unintelligent but strong fighter. | *The quote associated with this weapon could possibly be a reference to famous Chinese folklore about the war of the three kingdoms.
