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 budget configuration allows Vardun to instantly join the competitive meta as a secondary or budget primary hero without completely exhausting your Legendary tokens. It maximizes Chaos Rune, securing his massive scaling nukes (up to 2,000 damage factor) right off the bat, which testers report is enough to pull an excellent 3.0+ positive trade in open-field skirmishes

Best Hero Pairing for Vardun
Cantaman for the amazing debuffing and synergy of penetrating through a majority of defense to fulfil the role of dealing with the infantry dominance is the best choice (See full build here).
Seluna is incredibly versatile and has also damage-dealing potential that you want to pair up here (See full build here).
Liliya can potentially also work but honestly I don’t see too much realistic cause for someone running around with a maxed Vardun and no Caraman (See full build here).
Theia if you struggle with survivability but I am more theorycrafting at this point that actually making sense as Cantaman and Seluna are the only real choices (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.

Doom Bracers would be my second choice actually just because of the diffused damage that will scale incredibly well through Yun Ming when used with the Flaming Manticore war pet. Phoenix Eye would be my second choice actually just because of the diffused damage that will scale incredibly well through Yun Ming when used with the Flaming Manticore war pet.

Best Builds For Vardun
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Vardun 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.
I have seen some speed talent trees out there that I think are niche use okay-ish but the skill tree makes just most sense as you are able to lock enemies down anyway and infantry is not too hard to chase anyway and your big struggle is not to catch them or get away, your big catch is taking them down
