Single damage
5: Back corner provides maximum safety for a fragile INT carry. Position 5 keeps Kaya alive to fire Pinpoint Shot at weakened enemies from the safest possible slot.
4: Alternate back-row slot with slightly faster focus generation in some APC configurations.
3: Middle-back fallback when positions 4 and 5 are taken by higher-priority heroes.
Kaya is a Wildlings Rifleman who targets the lowest-HP enemy with Pinpoint Shot (240% TAC DMG), making her a natural finisher who picks off weakened targets. Her Hunter’s Aiming (+10% TAC DMG) and Keen Intuition (+80% TAC DMG on skill) passives provide strong damage scaling off her 894 INT base. With the Ebony Bow UW, her focus skill deals +20% of the target’s HP loss as extra damage, rewarding her execute-style targeting pattern.
Pros & Cons
- Pinpoint Shot deals 240% TAC DMG to the lowest-HP enemy, creating reliable execute pressure that finishes off targets softened by other DPS heroes.
- Keen Intuition adds +80% TAC DMG on every skill cast, effectively boosting Pinpoint Shot’s damage by 80% for high burst potential.
- Hunter’s Aiming grants +10% TAC DMG passively, improving all tactical damage output.
- Ebony Bow UW (Elite) adds +20% of the target’s HP loss as extra damage on focus skill, scaling with how damaged the target already is — perfect synergy with lowest-HP targeting.
- Wildlings faction — slots into Harman/Marlen lineups for the +15% or +20% faction bonus.
- Only four skills — Zombie Slayer (+40% EXP) is non-combat, effectively giving Kaya only three combat skills.
- No AOE damage — she can only kill one target at a time, providing no value against grouped enemy heroes.
- Outclassed by Rare+ INT carries by S4, especially those with fifth skills and exclusive gear.
- 299 VIT makes her extremely fragile — any direct targeting kills her quickly.
Skills
Fires a deadly arrow with great precision. Deals 144/164/182/202/240% TAC DMG to the enemy with the lowest HP.

lasting "Pinpoint Shot" will deal an additional 40/48/56/64/80% TAC DMG.
Gear
Hurricane + Apocalypse is the standard INT DPS pairing. Hurricane handles TAC DMG scaling, Apocalypse provides crit burst. Resolute is a survival fallback. Kaya has no exclusive gear sets as an Elite hero.
+15% Crit and +30% Crit DMG at 4-piece. When Pinpoint Shot crits with Keen Intuition’s +80% TAC DMG active, Kaya deals her highest possible single-hit damage. Best paired with Hurricane.
#1 Best
Death immunity provides a safety net for a hero with 299 VIT. The scaling ATK bonus as HP drops adds offensive value in desperate situations. Useful when Kaya lacks dedicated healer support.
#2
+8% TAC DMG and +24% Focus DMG at 4-piece. Kaya’s Pinpoint Shot deals TAC DMG — Hurricane directly amplifies her primary damage type and boosts focus skill damage for Keen Intuition procs. Best-in-slot.
#3
Kaya is a pure INT DPS. Weapon and jewelry should maximise DMG Bonus, INT, and Crit Rate for Pinpoint Shot burst. Helmet and body should focus on survival. Do not roll STR or WPN-related stats.
DMG Bonus, INT, Crit Rate
DMG Bonus amplifies all TAC DMG output. INT directly scales Pinpoint Shot. Crit Rate enables critical hits with Keen Intuition’s +80% TAC DMG bonus.
HP%, AGI, VIT
HP% for survival. AGI reduces targeting from AGI-based skills. VIT supplements her base 299 to avoid early death from AOE or stray hits.
HP%, VIT, DMG Mitigation
Pure survival. Kaya’s 299 VIT demands HP% and VIT to prevent one-shot kills.
DMG Bonus, INT, Crit Rate
Same offensive priority as weapon. Maximise TAC DMG burst through DMG Bonus, INT, and Crit Rate for Pinpoint Shot.

Beast 
DPS-focused lineup with execute finisher. Crimson Predator’s ATK, DMG Bonus, and Crit Rate feed Kaya’s Pinpoint Shot burst and Marlen’s WPN DMG output.
Primary tank and shield provider. Castle adds block and DMG Mitigation. Alpha Bless provides round 1 team shields and +8% Crit Immunity. Harman’s Staunch Will shields all allies on focus skill, buying time for Kaya to line up kills.
Primary DPS. Reaper’s WPN DMG and DEF ignore deal front-loaded burst that softens enemies for Kaya’s execute targeting. Apocalypse adds Crit scaling.
Debuffer and secondary DPS. Elaine’s stat reduction weakens enemy heroes over time, making them easier for Kaya to finish. Hurricane and Apocalypse maximise her own damage output.
Core finisher. Hurricane’s +8% TAC DMG and +24% Focus DMG amplify Pinpoint Shot. Apocalypse adds +15% Crit and +30% Crit DMG. Ebony Bow UW adds +20% of target HP loss as extra damage — synergises perfectly with lowest-HP targeting after Marlen softens.
Healer. Heal amplifies Jessie’s Voodoo Therapy by 45%. Self-Healing keeps Jessie healthy. Jessie’s healing ensures Kaya survives long enough to fire multiple Pinpoint Shots. Fifth Wildlings hero for +20% faction bonus.
A Wildlings lineup where Marlen’s front-loaded damage softens enemies and Kaya finishes them off with Pinpoint Shot targeting the lowest-HP enemy. Harman tanks and shields from position 1, Elaine debuffs from position 3, and Jessie heals from position 5. All five heroes are Wildlings for the maximum +20% ATK/HP faction bonus. The lineup combines sustained debuffs (Elaine), healing (Jessie), and execute pressure (Kaya) for a well-rounded composition.
Beast
EXP farming prioritises fast kills. Crimson Predator’s offensive stats speed up PvE clears, maximising EXP per time invested.
Primary tank. Castle and Tough Wall keep Harman alive through PvE content. Staunch Will shields all allies. Wildlings faction.
Core EXP provider. Zombie Slayer grants +40% EXP to the lineup. Pinpoint Shot provides damage contribution alongside the EXP utility. Violet Bow UW adds +15% DMG vs zombies, boosting PvE damage specifically.
Primary DPS. Reaper and Apocalypse maximise Marlen’s burst for fast PvE clears. Faster clears mean more runs and more total EXP.
Secondary DPS filler. Hurricane and Apocalypse provide additional damage. Wildlings faction contribution.
Fifth Wildlings hero for +20% faction bonus. Hurricane provides TAC DMG scaling. Resolute adds death immunity as a safety net in harder PvE stages.
A Wildlings lineup optimised for EXP farming through zombie PvE content. Kaya’s Zombie Slayer grants +40% EXP to the entire lineup, making her mandatory for efficient hero leveling. Marlen and Duncan provide DPS, Harman tanks and shields, and Cloud fills the fifth slot. Combat performance is secondary — the lineup exists to maximise EXP yield per stamina spent.
Synergies
Marlen’s front-loaded WPN DMG burst softens enemy heroes, lowering their HP. Kaya’s Pinpoint Shot then targets the lowest-HP enemy for the kill. The Ebony Bow UW rewards this pattern by adding +20% of target HP loss as extra damage — the more Marlen softens a target, the harder Kaya hits it. Both are Wildlings.
Jessie’s Voodoo Therapy keeps Kaya alive to fire more Pinpoint Shots. Both are Wildlings, contributing to the +20% faction bonus when combined with three more Wildlings heroes. Jessie’s Cinnabar Staff UW grants +20% DMG Mitigation on the heal target — if Kaya takes damage and becomes the lowest-HP ally, she receives both the heal and the mitigation buff.
Harman’s Staunch Will shields all allies, absorbing burst damage that would otherwise kill the fragile Kaya (299 VIT). Harman’s shields buy time for Kaya to accumulate focus and fire Pinpoint Shot. Both are Wildlings for faction bonus stacking.
Interactions with other heroes’ ultimate weapons.
Elaine’s Skeleton gear makes the lowest-INT enemy take permanent +8% more damage. Kaya’s Pinpoint Shot may target that same weakened enemy if they are also the lowest-HP hero, stacking Kaya’s execute damage on top of Elaine’s permanent debuff.
Self-synergy: Ebony Bow adds +20% of the target’s HP loss as extra damage on focus skill. Combined with Keen Intuition’s +80% TAC DMG on skill, Kaya’s Pinpoint Shot deals 240% TAC DMG + 80% bonus + 20% of target HP loss — a layered burst that scales with how damaged the target is. The Violet Bow (Epic) upgrades this to +25% HP loss scaling and adds +15% DMG vs zombies.

Counters
- Healers and shield supports (Hard Counter) — Kaya targets the lowest-HP enemy — strong healers like Ada or Mira can top up the target between rounds, preventing Kaya from accumulating enough HP loss to trigger her execute scaling. Shields absorb Pinpoint Shot entirely if the target is shielded.
- AOE burst carries (Soft Counter) — Kaya deals only single-target damage. AOE carries like Heytex 103 pressure the entire lineup simultaneously while Kaya can only focus one enemy per skill cast.
- Lineups without healers (Hard Counter) — Without healing, damage accumulates on enemy heroes each round. Kaya’s lowest-HP targeting ensures she always attacks the most vulnerable enemy, and Ebony Bow’s execute scaling grows stronger as the target loses more HP with no way to recover.
- Glass cannon carries (Soft Counter) — Fragile carries that take incidental damage quickly become Kaya’s priority target. Pinpoint Shot’s 240% TAC DMG plus execute scaling can delete a low-HP carry in one hit.
Rating
D Tier. Kaya has decent execute mechanics with her 240% TAC DMG Pinpoint Shot, +80% on-skill bonus, and lowest-HP targeting. The Ebony Bow UW adds execute scaling (+20% of target HP loss as extra DMG). However, her four-skill kit caps her ceiling, her Zombie Slayer passive is non-combat (+40% EXP), and she is quickly outclassed by higher-rarity INT carries with fifth skills and exclusive gear. Only useful very early on before better options become available.

Trivia
- She also appears as a cartoon-style "Approve" emoji in the game.
- She cannot be recruited through regular combat recruitment. The only three ways to acquire her are Wildlings faction recruitment, "The enemy turned into ally" event, and limited-time purchase. That makes her one of the hardest heroes to obtain.
