Transcripts

hello this is Zebo and welcome to

today's AFK Journey video so in today's

AFK Journey video we're going to run

through lenya pull or skip to give our

final verdict for this unit as to who

should go for her or who should skip her

in general okay so if you guys are here

for the answer itself I will just put it

straight to you guys lenya is a

relatively skipable unit for most people

and let me explain why with the

different game modes right there so if

we go through the L strengths in the

different game modes itself for the PVE

side of things right lenya is definitely

a viable character in terms of being a

carry for the team being able to do

massive physical damage as well as

having the ability to snipe off key

targets which makes her quite powerful

from a PVE perspective however you need

to find some ways to keep her alive and

that means that in terms of a deficit

pushing situation where your powers are

a lot lower compared to the enemy it

could be a little bit challenging and

especially with the newer season coming

right with wave of intrig coming deficit

pushing is going to be a massive thing

once again and that's where lenya might

actually fall in terms of power level on

top of being I'll say like not that

powerful from the deficit push side of

things this unit is also I'll say like

uh quite restricted by the map itself

because this unit as a Melee character

often get blocks out by the war and if

you take a look at her damage output

right here I think in in general Lena is

a very very good PVE character being

able to actually deliver if you have

issues dealing with enemies from the

magical side of things because I think

right now there's a bunch of meta teams

like iron magical team maer OD team

right together with a whole bunch of

magical Centric teams like tailing teams

or even festo teams they are more

magical Centric so being a physical

attacker that does massive damage Lena

definitely has the chance to actually be

used in the PVE side of things when such

situation arises but in most cases you

are I'll say like uh better off

investing in other units such as iron

other nor even Carolina or even Smokey

who are generally more versatile

generally more powerful across the

different game modes and they're also

equally good in terms of PVE content

push itself so that's why lenya is

definitely usable for PVE but not the

topj unit so that's for the PVE side or

the AFK stage pushing side and then if

we take a look at the D side of things

in terms of Lena's performance across

the different bosses itself um I can

only explain it in two words right no

teams so there's basically no teams to

fit her it you run through all the

different meta teams or the top tier

teams in my server right here as you

guys can see right for L gase this is

for alphab bear this is for skyops this

is for King kroer today's boss and then

this is for necro draon and this is for

snow stomper so we have ran through

almost every boss in cycle and in terms

of all the different bosses I think

lenya does okay damage but most of her

damage output doesn't rival liily me and

being a Wilder's character there isn't

really much Wilder support in terms of

team building in terms of the dream

round side of things so being a unit

that loses in terms of the DPS to Li

which is one of the best character in

the game as well as the lack of anything

in her kit to actually buff up the rest

of the team debuff the ball or even do

more damage over time it makes her kind

of restricted in terms of a usage for

dream side right if you're somebody

who's on the new account you just

started the game I think L is okay for

dreamum but she's by no means meta

because in terms of the higher level

itself she is a massive damage dealer

but her damage doesn't actually hit

harder than liily in most cases so

that's why you did rather have invested

in Li over our dear lard over here in

terms of the dream side of things so if

you're somebody who free to play if

you're more concerned about the dream

side of things lenya is a easy skip

because it's not a meta unit anywhere

and you have better choices out there in

the first place so that's for the dream

side of things okay so for the PVP

performance I'll be splitting it up into

two different areas or two different

categories one is pitting her Against

The Meta units or even the meta teams in

normal Arena and the other one is with

regards to Supreme Arena so I'll start

with the normal Arena side I'll do this

replay and talk about the issues with l

yeah so right here um lenya actually has

two issues in normal Arena mainly number

one the defense map is actually not

super duper friendly for her because

what most of the meta units or The Meta

teams would actually run their defense

map on map three which is this map over

here which is kind of restrictive to Lya

because it blocks out her positioning

and uh it affects her ultimate because

when she kicks the enemy and the enemy

is across the wall she has to actually

take a detour to run to the enemy to

continue her assault itself so lenya by

nature is a very ultimate Centric

character so if you're able to disrupt

her ultimate then that's where it could

be very detrimental for her kidwise and

if you take a look at some of the most

meta units in the normal Arena itself

normal arena is basically a mix of all

the most powerful characters for PVP and

across the different matchups that Lya

will face she's actually particularly

weak against most of them right units

like liily may even though she can

counter Li may but Li

if actually is able to cast her ultimate

or cast the inv vound state it can

cancel her ultimate and then that's

where your lard is pretty much screwed

and right obviously torren is a super

anti-m character in normal Arena so L

attacking torren most of the time

doesn't kill torren but actually get

killed after torren charges up his

ultimate there's also other units which

Lya performs pretty poorly against such

as iron control in general if you're

able to control Lena she doesn't really

have a way to break out of being

controlled so that's where she will

actually uh get sniped off if let's say

the enemies are able to control her and

that's one issue and obviously scita who

is just really really good against mil

units in general being able to stun

being able to do massive damage as well

as just being an amazing Arena PP

character so in terms of the map in

terms of the matchups I think Lena is

not really that good in normal Arena

circumstances and there isn't really a

way for you to hyper accelerate her

ultimate to actually get it out as fast

as possible which sort of hinders her

ability as well because if lenya doesn't

use her ultimate or if she doesn't get

her ultimate off in time lenya isn't

actually a very good character itself so

that's the few issues for normal Arena

so for normal Arena my conclusion for

Lena is it is definitely usable but

depending on who you match up against

depending on the match uh depending on

the map that you use Lena in as well as

how well built your lenya is against the

enemy itself you will get varying

results she's not exactly the most

stable PVP character at least not within

the normal Arena side okay now let's

talk about the Supreme Arena side so for

the Supreme Arena side this is where I

found more success playing with Lena so

in terms of Lena's performance across

the different Maps itself I think Lya

still has a lot of issues even in

Supreme Arena but right here because for

Supreme Arena's case right if you take a

look at how Supreme arena is played out

you actually have three different teams

you can feature and you can actually pit

your units across different Maps so this

is where if there are maps that are not

so favorable for Lena right you can pit

her against other more open map where

your units can actually position

themselves better specifically units

like Lenard or you can obviously pit

Lena against units which she's actually

better against right for example she's

good against other Ranger units that

just does massive damage but doesn't

have much Escape mechanism units like OD

uh units like for example Aden if she's

able to kick these units right she will

just bring them down units like Carol

for example so these are units which are

very very powerful damage dealer right

and if you're able to kick them out of

position and snap them off quickly

that's pretty much L's job in the team

so in terms of the Supreme Arena side

you have more flexibility in terms of

using her because you have more map

choices you're able to actually pit

lenya against different team setup

depending on what your opponent uses and

that's where I think she will see a

greater effect another reason why I

think Lya is a lot better for Supreme

arena is because you actually have

artifacts that can back up her skill set

because Lya needs to get to her ultimate

if not you basically don't get your

Supreme plus skill and that's where

artifacts such as casket spell or even

artifacts such as for example evocation

spell accelerates the pacing towards her

Ultima which would actually make her a

lot stronger in the Supreme Arena side

of things so PP in general I think lard

is definitely viable but against the

strongest t z characters in The Base

Arena itself is just going to be a

little bit challenging and in terms of

the team building side I think lenya is

not a unit that is very special into the

usual uh PVP teams that you think of so

team building would be a little bit

challenging for those lowbudget players

so in general that's why I mentioned

earlier lenya is a unit which is

skipable for most people because if

you're somebody who's low budget or free

to play I think L is going to be a

little bit harder for you to use or a

little bit harder for you to maximize

her abilities so that is where you want

to skip for her but for people who has

the resources to get her up to a certain

tier for example Supreme plus to unlock

her ex weapon as well as her Supreme

plus skill to survive better I think

she's a okay investment for just more

efk stage pushing variety if you have

the resource to spare for her and she is

actually really really good under

certain circumstances within the

different Arena game modes depending on

who you face against as well as uh

depending on whether or not the map

permits her usage so that's uh her

General analysis and uh lastly before I

end off today's video I think in terms

of Lena's kit itself it's not just the

kit right it's not just uh her ski kit

itself I think Lya as a character has a

really really nice design obviously and

uh yeah if you are just putting her

purely for the aesthetic purposes I

think that's not a bad choice as well

right in general so that's pretty much

it for this video uh just very simple

analysis for Lena I think as a character

that came after Li and mola Lena PS in

comparison for most of the freeo play

all lowbudget players so if you're

somebody who belongs to the category

she's a easily skippable character but

if not you can definitely invest in her

for some really really nice artwork out
