If you want to make Lan perform at peak performance in AFK Arena, you need to run the right built. While many players think simply maxing out will do the trick (well, not too wrong), there are certain sweetspots with Lan that will give a big boost so I have some recommendations below that you will very likely find interesting.
Important! If you want to check how well Lan does in the current meta of all heroes in AFK Arena, please check out my current tier list of all heroes here.

Lan’s Signature Item
Signature Item
Lan's Signature Item should be at +40. while her +30 SI is enough to make her kit roll the way it does, actually going all the way to +40 will make her a lot more stable in high deficits as she can use every piece of stats she can get. If you want to learn more about the recommended priority how you should invest into Signature Items in AFK Arena, check out our priority guide.

Furniture Recommendation
Furniture Set
Overall we recommend to get Lan's 9/9 furniture set bonus. you need the full furniture bonus to really make her the buffer and enabler in the team and live up to her full potential. She is good so don't be shy here If you want to learn more about in what order to unlock your heroes furniture sets, check out our Furniture Priority Guide.
Engraving
Engravings are an important part for Lan and this is probably the main reason why you’re here on this page. Below you will find the optimal Engraving Levels as well as our recommended route how to invest in the Engravings as you normally don’t just have the cores lying around just waiting to max out an Engraving for a hero.
In the case of Lan you don’t have to invest into any Engravings when we talk about the absolute MINIMAL INVESTMENT to make this hero work. The RECOMMENDED INVESTMENT (the investment you should have in order to be able to make the hero work well enough), which is E38 and for those of you who really want to make Lan shine the MAXIMUM INVESTMENT (the one that makes sense, there is literally no need to invest further unless you’re a PvP whale and drop a ton of money on the game), which is E67.
The more interesting part, however, is the order how to invest your cores in the different nodes, right? Well, below you will find the perfect order to invest the cores in (simply follows the numbers – the colors of the numbers will show you if this is optimal=green or maximum=blue investment). This helps you invest your cores in the most efficient and economic way and get the most of of them with Lan:
Spending Order E0-E30
Spending Order E30+

Pro
We tested excessively to give you the perfect sweetspots of Engravings for all heroes so you get the best performance without over-investing in Engraving, which will help you progressing a lot faster in the long run. The ideal Engraving order past E30 is exclusive for AllClash Pro supporters in Patreon..

Recommended Artifacts & Collection
To use Lan well I really recommend you to build a collection item from the Goulish Gallery and I don’t want to recommend an artifact that somewhat works but at the end leaves Lan far below potential.
Now that artifacts got replaced by the collections in the Ghoulish Gallery, this whole section requires a lot more effort in building the correct collection type with the ideal substats – this lets you fine-tune heroes a lot better but also requires more details in order to work well.
This is the collection you want to run with Lan (please also mind the recommended collection skill level):
Traders VaultSkill Level 3
Again, this is also the optimal skill level so I don’t recommend going higher than this as this means you have to sacrifice stats which are more important.
Offensive Stats
Here are the best stats to put on the collection artifact for Lan in the offensive slots:
Core StatIS is by far the most important stat here on the collection item and you want that without exception as much as possible here.
