## Matchups and synergies

**Works well with**: [Alpha](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/alpha.md), [Khaleed](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/khaleed.md)

Popol and Kupa are best with Fighters that can charge into enemies' midst and ensure the survival of Popol and Kupa after controlling and killing enemies. For example, Alpha and Khaleed.

**Strong against**: [Lesley](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/lesley.md), [Brody](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/brody.md)

Kupa is powerful in combat, especially against Marksmen with lower sustainability such as Lesley and Brody.

**Weak against**: [Gusion](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/gusion.md), [Karina](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/karina.md)

But since Popol and Kupa don't have any Blink skills
and Popol is quite squishy, they are at the mercy of more agile Assassins like Gusion and Karina.
