Skill Order

Upgrading the skills of your hero is probably the part where you can gain the most value – or optimize value – since higher skill level upgrade their abilities linear (for example gain 5% of stats per level) but the costs are getting higher and higher. We have designed ideal upgrade sweetspots for every player that will help you pick how far you should upgrade your hero without overspending. That means you can use resources for other heroes that you might have invested in skills not really needed for your cause.

This bare utility baseline build allows F2P players to deploy Kuma immediately as a secondary anchor or tank. It focuses entirely on maxing his first skill (Joy of Battle), ensuring he instantly unlocks his signature mechanic: draining 20% HP from a target (and 10% from nearby squads) while simultaneously converting it into a baseline heal

This alternative sweetspot is heavily favored for players pairing Kuma with heavy shielding heroes like Garwood or Theodore. Maxing his second skill ensures that whenever Kuma gains a shield, it amplifies his legion’s normal attack damage by 15% and inflicts a brutal physical defense-shred onto his targets, creating high-pressure trading windows

There is a lot of sweetspots in his skill setup that you can use if you're not planning to fully max all skills out that make sense.

Best Troop Types

Does work well with infantry and is best used with infantry. Not crazy locked-in there but I recommend running him with infantry

Best Hero Pairing for Kuma

Lei Kuan
Lei Kuan
Skogul
Skogul
Hosk
Hosk
Goresh
Goresh

Lei Kuan is abviously the best pairing since they are released together and this is a magic law in Call of Dragons that the heroes that are released with each other go together like traffic and weather. The cross-synergy here, even when just used for open field, is extremely strong (See full build here).

Skogul with diffused counterattack damage is also a really strong pairing here with him (See full build here).

Hosk goes but is not the bad slam dunk you might think, they are just not too similar when goes into the deep ends of their skills (See full build here).

Goresh works as well but also is not really all too great along him like the other heroes listed above (See full build here).

Best Artifacts

Let’s now take a look at the numerous artifacts that you can possible use. We have tested many of them and some have amazing synergy and others are more in for the stats but no matter what artifacts you have possibly available, you will find the one that works best. Please also check out the full tier list of all artifacts here to see which ones are worth the invest in general.

Serpents Edge is a solid alterntive if you are not able to use his signature artifact yet and also works well with him altogether. Dragonrift is a solid alterntive if you are not able to use his signature artifact yet and also works well with him altogether.

Best Pet Synergies For Kuma (NEW)

With the new war pet system in Call of Dragons it’s aso important to pair Kuma with the right pet to gain more synergies. Please also check out the full tier list of all war pets in Call of Dragons here to see which ones are worth the invest in general.

Mossrock Aurochs
is by afr the best war pet choice here with him since their kits compliment each other so well
Venomous Lizard
is alterntively a war pet that also goes really well with him

Best Builds For Kuma

Below you will find the talent tree builds for Kuma that make sense when running as the primary commander in any legion in Call of Dragons. Please also refer to the description below each talent tree as I explain a general route on how you should spend your talents there + some additional background for each talent build that I very likely will appreciate.This is probably the full-blood infantry openf ield build to use for running him in the open field. Merciless without anything to compromise on.A more balanced talent build honestly that I personally like a tad more since it gives just a rounder and lower maintenance performance overall

Conclusion
