Just like in real life, the best couples in Arena of Valor offset each other’s weaknesses and bring out their partner’s strengths, helping them discover untapped potential. And when they enter battle together in matching outfits, that teamwork is so much more spectacular. Here are two of our favourite romantic pairings that you might gel with too.
Lu Bu and Diao Chan
Just like their namesake characters from the legendary Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu and Diao Chan are a devoted couple. In their lore, Diao Chan saved Lu Bu from the bloodlust hex put on him by the Pulse Master, helping Lu Bu regain humanity.
In the arena, Lu Bu is a powerful fighter that can attack and cast abilities in rapid sequence, inflicting crowd control effects on his targets. Meanwhile, mage Diao Chan helps him deal killing blows even easier, thanks to her ability to slow down and freeze foes.
To keep this couple looking sharp, check out their matching beach-themed Summer Bash skins, ballroom-esq Prom King & Queen skins, and fantasy-inspired Rosebloom skins from the in-game store.
Allain and Butterfly
This pair of deadly swordsmasters have an extraordinary background story: they were orphans who grew up together in a mercenary guild, then became separated after a tragedy that led to Allain losing his memories. A chance encounter resulted in them meeting each other again, and the old relationship began to rekindle.
On the battlefield, Allain swings his dual swords on the frontline while assassin Butterfly prefers to land surprise strikes with her blade. Because of their special connection, Allain’s ultimate skill can protect Butterfly from crowd control effects should he choose to lock on to her – this is a special effect exclusively reserved for Butterfly and no other ally.
To celebrate their relationship, the game has released multiple themed skin sets, including the limited-time skins based on another famous fictional couple – Kirito and Asuna from the Sword Art Online universe. There are also three other skin sets – Beast Gang, Celestial and Space – available at the in-game store right now.
