Optimal Synergies & Roster Formations

Cavalry: Jabel + Chenko

Pair Jabel (leader) with Chenko (assistant) for early speed sweeps. Stacking Jabel's low-HP attack speed surge with Chenko's Epic lethality increases provides a robust Cavalry starter squad.

Infantry: Amadeus + Helga

Pair Amadeus (leader) with Helga (assistant) for early infantry sieges. Helga's Antler charge stuns targets while Amadeus deals heavy blade slashes to capitalize.

Archer: Saul + Diana

Pair Saul (leader) with Diana (assistant). Diana's active incendiary AoE damage complements Saul's Rapidfire stuns for solid Arena team performance.
