Best Builds

  • PvP build: use Ava only when your troop type, gear, and partner hero support the same combat plan.
  • PvE build: prioritize consistent clears and event value before niche damage setups.
  • F2P build: delay heavy investment until Ava's shard sources fit your account.

Best Pairings

  • Alcar: similar Infantry or Combat role for formation testing.
  • Amadeus: similar Infantry or Combat role for formation testing.
  • Amane: similar Cavalry or Combat role for formation testing.
  • Use pairings that improve the same battle purpose instead of mixing unrelated bonuses.

Formation Tips

  • Match Ava with Marksman research and gear where possible.
  • Do not judge a formation by power alone; check whether the frontline, damage, and support roles work together.
  • Test before spending rare shards or speedups.

Upgrade Priority

  • Upgrade Ava when the hero is part of your main march or solves a specific PvP, PvE, or event bottleneck.
  • Check source availability before using universal shards.
  • Keep buildings, research, and gear aligned with the hero plan.

Common Mistakes

  • Upgrading only because the hero is Legendary.
  • Ignoring troop type and formation role.
  • Spending shards before checking related heroes and source access.

Story

"Come closer. Relax your face. Yes, that's it." A girl held a brush, studying the young couple before her. In just a few strokes, she created a stunning oil painting. The lighting and colors were flawless. It was hard to believe such skill came from such a young, unknown artist. No one knew her name or where she came from. She would appear in a city out of nowhere, then vanish just as suddenly. The only thing people knew—she never painted at night. "An evening booking? Sorry, I'm already booked at night." "Art comes first. Justice follows. — Ava" Once again, these words were sprayed across a governor's Town Center. Above it, an exaggerated graffiti of dual guns drew every eye. One blue, one green—two paint guns crossed together. Under the sunlight, the paint inside seemed to flow, as if ready to fire at any moment. Every passerby stopped to admire the piece. People marveled at the artist's boldness and unmatched talent. Only those who knew better understood—the governor of this town was about to be in trouble. Night fell. The governor stood ready with his soldiers. Soon, a paint bomb exploded in the crowd. Beautiful yet corrosive liquid splashed across their armor. White smoke rose as chaos broke out. "Catch that damn Ava!" the governor shouted helplessly. But a swift figure had already appeared before him. In that moment, he finally saw the graffiti hero feared by villains—a cute girl with two large buns. Then a surge of paint flooded his vision… The next day, in the town square, the governor woke up at the busiest crossroads—painted into a clown. Around him, graffiti exposed how he had betrayed the town and exploited its people for years. Every passerby cursed the beast in human skin and cheered for the mysterious graffiti hero. In the crowd, Ava smiled with satisfaction. She had lost count of how many villains she had punished. There will always be dark corners in this world—and she will paint them all with her dual guns. "Who will be the next lucky one to receive my masterpiece? Could it be you, my dear governor?"
