How to counter Helios in Hero Wars Dominion Era?

Cleaver
Cleaver

Cleaver can pull Helios to the front line with his Rusky Hook, making him vulnerable to front-line attacks.

Isaac
Isaac
Isaac's ability to absorb incoming damage is crucial when facing Helios, who relies on dealing burst damage through critical hits. Isaac's shields can mitigate the impact of Helios's attacks, allowing his team to sustain longer in battles. 
Kayla
Kayla
Kayla targets the farthest enemy where Helios is usually positioned. She will burn him while increasing her magic attack.
Corvus
Corvus

Corvus' altar can be effective against Helios due to the AoE she performs on the enemy team.

Rufus
Rufus

Rufus absorbs all magical damage with his 1st skill, Rakashi's Barrier, to block Helios' exploding spheres.

Jorgen
Jorgen

Jorgen can redirect all the damage to the furthest enemy. If Helios is positioned at the furthest position he will be destroyed easily.

Phobos
Phobos

Considering Helios is one of the heroes with the highest magic attack stat in his top Offense and Defense teams, he will become Phobo's number-one target.

Cornelius
Cornelius

Cornelius will target Helios because he is one of the support heroes with the highest intelligence in the game.

Aurora
Aurora

Aurora can absorb most of the magic damage and damage nearby enemies when her shield explodes.

Helios Pet Priority

Merlin enhances Helios's magic damage output by increasing his magic penetration and providing additional magical damage through his skill, Magnus Magica. This synergy allows Helios to deal devastating damage to enemies, particularly when he unleashes his abilities. The distortion zone created by Merlin further amplifies Helios's attacks, making him a formidable threat on the battlefield.
Axel provides essential protection for Helios by absorbing damage and preventing single attacks from exceeding a certain threshold. This is crucial for Helios, allowing him to stay active in fights longer while focusing on dealing damage and supporting his team. With Axel’s support, Helios can sustain himself against heavy attacks, ensuring he remains a constant threat during battles.
Biscuit’s ability to reduce enemy healing complements Helios’s offensive strategies by ensuring that enemies cannot recover effectively from his attacks. This synergy is particularly advantageous against teams that rely heavily on healing, allowing Helios to maximize his damage output without worrying about enemy sustain.
Khorus provides a shield that absorbs damage and protects Helios from control effects. This allows Helios to focus on casting spells and supporting allies without being hindered by enemy abilities. With Khorus's protection, Helios can maintain his offensive presence while ensuring that he remains effective in team fights.
