Augustus - Hero Wars Dominion Era

Augustus hero guide, glyphs, artifacts, skins, best teams, and best counters in Hero Wars Dominion Era.

Augustus is a newly introduced mage hero in Hero Wars Dominion Era, known for his unique ability to amplify magic damage and convert it into pure damage, which bypasses magic defenses.

He can effectively deal significant damage to opponents who rely on magical resistance. His skill set allows him to lower the magic defense of enemies, enabling his attacks and those of his allies to hit harder.

Augustus pairs exceptionally well with heroes like Orion, creating a powerful team composition that can dominate the battlefield. His strategic capabilities make him a valuable asset in various game modes, especially in situations where magic damage is crucial for overcoming tough opponents.

Pros
  • Converts magic damage into pure damage, bypassing defenses
  • Amplifies team magic damage, synergizing well with other mages
  • High single-target damage, especially against enemies with high health
  • Area-of-effect damage through passive abilities, impacting multiple enemies
Cons
  • Vulnerable to counters like Sebastian and Isaac, who mitigate magic effects
  • Relies heavily on team composition for maximum effectiveness
  • Squishy backline mage, requiring protection from physical attackers
  • Limited active abilities; relies on passives for sustained impact
The ambassador of the faraway floating land of Avissian, Augustus is always as calm as the clear sky, preferring to talk his way out of sticky situations. Where diplomacy fails, his destructive thunder magic works wonders - just make sure you're not the target!
