Should You Pull for Aris and Rudy?
Pull for Aris to Strengthen Sustain Teams

Aris is an Attacker and Support whose damage increases the longer a battle lasts, making her a mainstay of sustain teams. She has great synergy with Radgrid, and anyone running sustain teams in Arena will definitely want to pull her.
Transcend as Much as Possible for PvP
At Transcendence 2, killing an enemy with Skill 1 grants a chain activation effect, and at Transcendence 6, the Damage Boost from taking hits increases from 2% to 6% × 30 stacks. The more you Transcend, the higher her damage output and win rate, so if you plan to use her in PvP, aim for Transcendence 6 and push Transcendence as far as possible.
Rudy Is Suited for Total War and Guild War

Rudy gains even higher durability after Awakening and acquires a skill that reduces enemy Awakening Gauges. While Radgrid tends to take the Defense-type slot in Arena, making it hard to fit Rudy in, he is highly useful when you want to build multiple sustain teams for Total War or Guild War.
Tips! | He has received a buff: Counterattack and Stun on Counterattack have been added, and his single-target attack skill now hits 3 enemies. |

No Rush to Transcend
At Transcendence 2, Link duration increases, and at Transcendence 6, he can grant Disable Immunity to allies. Since high-durability heroes' Transcendence tends to directly improve their durability, you'll want to Transcend if using him in PvP — but since the Transcendence effects aren't mandatory, it's fine to take it slow.
Tips! | Seven Knights heroes are relatively easy to obtain through Siege War rewards, login bonuses, and more. |

Aris is a versatile Attacker and Support that fits well in any party, but is especially recommended for sustain comps as her damage increases the longer the battle lasts. Her performance without Awakening is underwhelming, but she is a hero whose true potential relies on her Awakening passive.
Rudy PvP/PvE Quick Reference

Rudy | [Tier Ranking]![]() Top-tier (Meta) [Ranking T0] ![]() Transcend is Highly Recommended [Reroll Tier] - Unavailable | [Guild War] PvP ![]() Near Meta Level [Arena] and [Total War] PvP ![]() Near Meta Level [Infinite Tower] PvE ![]() Near Meta Level |
Rudy is a one-of-a-kind Hero who uses Link to spread incoming damage evenly across the party. With his Defense Boost passive and ability to grant Crowd Control Immunity, he serves as a durability support that enhances overall team stability.
Aris's Impact on the Meta
Sustain Teams Get Stronger
Aris is a versatile hero with great synergy with Radgrid, serving as an excellent Attacker and Support for sustain teams. Since her damage output increases the longer battles last, she can also serve as the finisher in sustain team compositions — a major strength.
Also Well-Suited for Type-Restricted Infinite Tower Floors
She is also well-suited for the Support and Versatile-type restricted floors 371–380 of the Infinite Tower added in a previous update. While Pallanus may struggle to meet the comp requirement and deal damage, Aris can deal damage regardless of team composition.
Rudy's Impact on the Meta
Can Build Multiple Sustain Teams for Total War and Guild War
While the Defense-type slot in Arena is dominated by the excellent Radgrid, making it difficult to fit Rudy in, he makes it easier to build multiple sustain teams in content that requires multiple parties — such as Total War and Guild War.
Aris Team Compositions and Alternatives
Especially Synergistic with Sustain-Oriented Heroes
Since Aris has no comp requirements, she fits into any party. However, given her performance favors longer battles, she's best paired with heroes suited for sustain teams.
Alternatives: Pallanus and Sun Wukong
Alternatives for the Attacker role in sustain teams include Pallanus and Sun Wukong. Since Aris's Awakening passive provides excellent support and her damage is very high once buffs stack up, she is generally the first choice for sustain team compositions.
Rudy Team Compositions and Alternatives
Rudy Also Fits Sustain Teams
Rudy is also suited for sustain teams, so his pairing options are the same as Aris's. For Total War, building two parties — one centered on Radgrid/Pallanus/Clemyth and one centered on Rudy and Sun Wukong — is worth considering.
Alternatives: Hellenia and Radgrid
Alternative options include fellow Defense-type heroes Hellenia and Radgrid. If you don't have Radgrid, using Rudy as an alternative in Arena is also a valid option.
