Heroes that pair well with Yeonwoo based on role synergy and community tier lists.
Yeonwoo is F2P accessible. Shards are obtainable through events, daily play, and alliance activities without spending money.
As an Epic hero, shard requirements are lower than Legendary heroes. Good for early investment.
Yeonwoo is the reliable offensive joiner for bear hunt and rally stacking — a Gen 1 Epic Archer whose signature value is delivering consistent damage without relying on RNG procs. Her Petalbloom is a unique three-wave attack dealing up to Attack × 175% on the second wave and Attack × 210% AOE on the third. Falling Swallow adds single-target damage with a debuff (up to -50% enemy Attack Speed), and Twin Fangs passively increases her Attack by +24%. Her Expedition skills: On Guard grants squad-wide +25% Lethality, and Well-Traveled uniquely speeds up Research by +15% — making her a dual-purpose hero for combat AND tech progression. No exclusive gear (Epic pattern). F2P through Hero Recruitment and Epic General Hero Shard. S-tier Bear Hunt and Joiner. Lore: a disciplined swordswoman trained since age 5 whose father's creed — 'Accomplishing something is hard, but ruining it is easy' — still guides her practice.
