Capheny remains one of the most feared and explosive Marksmen in Arena of Valor, renowned for her unparalleled ability to deliver catastrophic shock damage in the late game phase. What makes this hero truly unique is her automatic firing system, allowing her to continuously move while kiting enemies and shredding their armor via her versatile weapon modes. However, because her attack speed from equipment converts directly into raw attack damage, optimizing her item path is the absolute key to unlocking her full hyper-carry potential.
In this comprehensive guide, we will break down the absolute best Capheny build, focusing heavily on maximizing her critical strike chance and armor penetration. From core power-spike items like Claves Sancti and Fafnir’s Talon to professional arcana setups and optimal rune configurations, you will find all the essential tools to dominate the Dragon Lane and carry your team to victory.

Capheny’s Abilities
Passive: Aquamarine
Capheny created Aquamarine, a fully automatic firing system. Rapid Shot and Pulse Shot are its two operating modes. Capheny can move while firing, but she only does 50% damage (which rises with hero level) to enemies and receives only 2/3 the life steal of a standard marksman. Additionally, attack speed boosts from equipment are converted into attack damage by aquamarine.
Skill 1: Pulse Shot
Aquamarine changes from Armorbraker to Propulsion and activates Pulse Shot, extending its effective range. Pulse Shot costs 20 energy and temporarily slows Capheny’s movement speed to 40%. The initial target hit by the shot takes 70 (+100% of AD) physical damage. The damage is then reduced by 10% for each target it passes through, up to a maximum reduction of 50%. When Capheny’s energy falls below 20, Aquamarine will automatically revert to Rapid Shot. Aquamarine will recharge while in Rapid Shot, and normal attacks will hasten the recharging process in this mode.
Skill 2: Armorbreaker
Capheny instantaneously receives 10 stacks of armor piercing effect, removes movement speed debuffs on herself, and increases movement speed by 100% for 0.5 seconds. Passive: While Capheny is in Rapid Shot, every time an enemy is hit by an attack, she gains 10 armor piercing damage (which rises with level). This effect stacks up to ten times. This ability becomes a Propulsion when in Pulse Shot, and the associated stack effect also changes to a Propulsion.
Skill 3: Shooting
The target’s armor is reduced by 1.5% over 2 seconds (stackable) while each wave of gunfire from Aquamarine deals 75 (+25% of AD) physical damage and launches a barrage of shots every 0.2 seconds for 3 seconds. Capheny’s movement speed is slowed down by 30% when firing.
