In this setup, Lily May acts as the main damage dealer, while Lenya functions as the primary tech Hero, targeting and sniping the most dangerous enemies. Thoran absorbs damage as the tank, with Smokey and Rowan providing support.

How to Play Lenya Effectively
Lenya needs to be paired with sturdy Heroes who can absorb the initial damage. She requires enough protection to build up her Energy.

Should You Pull for Lenya?
Lenya isn’t a must-have unit, but if your team has an open sniping role, she’s a reliable option. Like Odie, Lenya can target and eliminate specific enemy units, which is especially useful in PvP matches. Despite her utility as a tech and sniper unit, free-to-play players can skip her since she doesn’t significantly impact the metagame and can be replaced by other Heroes you may already have in your inventory.
Volkin, a well-knownAFK Journeycreator, reviewed Lenya as a “100% skippable Hero, especially for free-to-play players.” He also noted that with the new season approaching, there may be better unlockable characters on the horizon.
