Complete Guide to Velyn: Talents, Builds, and Tips

Velyn is an incredibly strong legendary hero, specializing in magic, PvP, and control. His talents allow him not only to deal powerful area damage (AoE) but also to slow down enemies, preventing them from escaping the battlefield.

Is it worth upgrading Velyn?

Definitely yes. Whether you play free-to-play (F2P) or invest money into the game — Velyn gives excellent returns. He is consistently effective in PvP battles, and you will regularly use him on the battlefield.

Reasons to invest in Velyn:

• Magic attacks with AoE damage — perfect for clearing groups of enemies.
• Enemy slow effect — provides battlefield control, especially effective in PvP.
• Has talents in: magic, PvP, and control.

To unlock Velyn’s full potential, use him exclusively with magic units — otherwise his talent and skill bonuses will not work to their fullest.

Best Hero Pairings with Velyn

Even if you use a build not based on the magic tree, always bring magic units, since his 3rd and 4th skills specifically enhance magic troops. This is a mandatory condition to unlock Velyn’s full potential.

Lilia

Fire damage, but with a very similar skill set.

• Together with Velyn they grant critical hits to magic troops
• Even at level 5-1-1-1 for both heroes, you get great synergy
• Velyn as the main — more control
• Lilia as the main — more active damage

Waldyr

An ideal low-cost epic hero for pairing:

• Has a freeze effect
• Boosts magic troops
• When Velyn is fully upgraded, adds constant 400 damage
• The pairing of Velyn + Waldyr is one of the most dangerous PvP combos, despite Waldyr being an epic hero

Alwyn

The best hero for F2P players in the game:

• Has damage over time (DoT)
• Combines perfectly with Velyn’s control
• Works as a “budget legendary twin”

Thea

Deals long-range magic damage and increases troop survivability

• Not the best choice, but a viable alternative if you lack other heroes
• Provides survivability and control

Atheus

• Deals single-target magic damage
• His second skill speeds up rage generation
• Paired with Velyn’s control talents — they form a strong combo pair

Velyn performs well with almost any magic hero, but he is most effective when paired with Lilia, Waldyr, or Alwyn, depending on your upgrade level and budget.

Best Artifacts for Velyn

Now let’s take a look at the artifacts that can be effectively used with Velyn. We tested many options, and here’s what matters:

• Some artifacts have great synergy with his skills
• Others provide advantages through pure stats (attack, health, etc.)
• No matter which artifacts you own, you will find a suitable option to strengthen Velyn

Also make sure to check the updated tier list of all artifacts in Call of Dragons to know which ones are really worth upgrading and using in battle.

Phoenix Eye

• Heals your troops
• Boosts base stats of magic units
• Good if you use Velyn together with another damage-dealing hero, as the artifact adds survivability.
• Not the top pick, but a decent option if you lack stronger artifacts.

Tear of Arbon

• Has similar stats to Phoenix Eye
• Also heals troops and boosts magic units
• Works similarly — a solid match with Velyn, especially if you don’t use aggressive damage artifacts.

Best Battle Pets for Velyn

Sapphire Faedragon — the undisputed best for Velyn

• Perfect for magic armies
• Provides powerful AoE damage
• Synergizes with Velyn’s control skills

This is the best pet for Velyn right now. If possible — always use it.

Ice Lizard — a solid alternative

• A good backup option if you don’t have the Sapphire Dragon
• Has AoE damage and slow, synergizing with Velyn’s control

A great choice if you are still leveling your Sapphire Dragon or haven’t unlocked it yet.

Thunder Lizard — usable, but not top-tier

• Can be used with Velyn, but falls short compared to the first two
• Does not provide as much damage or control as the Sapphire Faedragon or the Ice Lizard

Use only if you don’t have better options available.
