Best hero pairings with Lei Kuan in Call of Dragons

Kuma. No surprise — like most heroes released together, Kuma and Lei Kuan are designed for perfect synergy. This is one of the strongest duos in the game, especially for infantry legions. Their skills enhance each other, making the combo nearly unbreakable.

Dunfell

A great choice if Kuma is used in another legion. Dunfell has skills that complement Lei Kuan well in battle. Works especially well in rallies and PvP scenarios.

Garwood

A simple and reliable alternative. While Garwood is less effective than Kuma or Dunfell, he works very well in defense and suits most players, especially mid-level ones.

Hosk

Hosk and Lei Kuan are not the most obvious pair, but their skills can mutually reinforce each other. The combo can be effective when hero options are limited.

Madeline

Not the best choice, but can be used as a temporary substitute if other heroes are unavailable. Her defensive abilities overlap somewhat with Lei Kuan’s, but the combo remains viable.

Best artifacts for Lei Kuan

There are many artifacts in the game that can be used with Lei Kuan, but not all are equally effective. We tested various combinations and highlighted those that:

  • provide excellent synergy with his skills
  • give powerful stat bonuses, even without direct synergy

No matter which artifacts you currently have, there will be one that maximizes Lei Kuan’s potential.

Dragonrift

One of the best infantry artifacts. Particularly effective if you want to increase the durability and survivability of the legion. Perfect for open-field and prolonged battles.

Dragonscale Armor

Another universal choice for infantry heroes. Provides excellent defense, reduces incoming damage, and makes Lei Kuan more resilient in combat. Works perfectly with his defensive talents.

Both artifacts are ideal for those who want to make Lei Kuan as tough and resilient as possible in any mode.

Best battle pets for Lei Kuan

With the introduction of the new battle pets system in Call of Dragons, it is important to choose the right companion for Lei Kuan to maximize synergy and efficiency in battle.

The right pet can significantly improve:

  • infantry defensive stats
  • survivability in prolonged fights
  • effectiveness in rallies and marches

Mossrock Aurochs — best choice

Mossy Bison is considered the best pet for Lei Kuan in most scenarios. It greatly enhances infantry, especially in long battles. However, obtaining and upgrading this pet may be difficult for many players.

Moonbear — reliable alternative

If the Mossy Bison is unavailable, an excellent option is the Moon Bear. It also fits perfectly with Lei Kuan’s defensive and rally focus and is easier to obtain for most players.
