Best hero pairings for Lieh Shan Yen

Neia

The perfect partner for Lieh Shan Yen. Their mechanics complement each other beautifully, creating powerful synergy in battle. This pair is the best combo for most scenarios.

Urag

A good option, especially if Neia is not available. While he doesn’t provide the same synergy as Neia, Urag can still boost Lieh Shan’s potential in the right setup.

Emrys

Despite his age, Emrys can still be an interesting choice thanks to his stats. This isn’t a meta build, but in the right hands he can be surprisingly effective.

Theodore

Mainly used in garrison pairings. Such players are rare and usually spend money — but with proper setup this is a viable option.
