Andvari - Hero Wars Alliance

Andvari hero guide, glyphs, artifacts, skins, best teams, and best counters in Hero Wars Alliance.
Andvari is a control hero part of the Way of Mystery faction in Hero Wars Alliance. He is usually used as a tank, even though this is not his role.
Andvari is great at protecting the heroes behind him from displacement and is also able to stun enemies at the same time. He is often considered a good pick for end-game teams, especially against K'arkh teams, as a hard counter.
If leveled enough he can also be used against Yasmine due to his protective barrier against pure damage.
Pros
  • Protects allies against displacement and activates a shield that absorbs both physical and magical damage
  • Stuns enemies
  • Cleaver counter, blocking his Rusty Hook ability to pull enemies to the front line
  • K’arkh hard counter, blocking his Nexus of Horror ability to throw enemies into the air
Cons
  • Low armor and magic defense and still positioned on the front-line
  • He is not a tank but usually serves as a tank
  • Using it as the only tank in the team might not be enough
Andvari doesn't like it when others call him a legend. He believes the Titan Artifacts he created are merely a necessity in the war against evil. However, his talent, honesty, and eagerness to work make it obvious that the element of Earth made the right choice!

Best Andvari Hydra Teams

Andvari is a good choice against Hydra due to his Nature's Barrier skill. He can protect an ally with a shield that can absorb physical and pure damage, increasing the ally's energy simultaneously. This skill is effective, especially against Light and Wind hydra.

How to counter Andvari in Hero Wars Alliance?

Satori
Satori
Andvari's 4th skill, Nature's Barrier, activates a shield that provides extra energy to a hero for all damage absorbed. This will make Satori apply Fox Fire marks on that hero and destroy it once they are activated.
Sebastian
Sebastian
Sebastian can clear Andvari's stun effect.
Heidi
Heidi
Heidi can apply toxins to the opponent whenever they hit or are absorbed by a shield. Andvari's protective shield might cause damage to the hero it is protecting.
Soleil
Soleil

Soleil can increase the damage to the central enemies each time they use control abilities. This will make Andvari's control abilities have negative effects on his team. Andvari's stun will also rebound on his allies.
