Arachne - Hero Wars Alliance

Arachne hero guide, glyphs, artifacts, skins, best teams, and best counters in Hero Wars Alliance.

Arachne is a control-focused mage whose main job is to disable enemies rather than deal heavy damage. Her stuns and charm effects interrupt enemy skills, break formations, and create openings for her team. She works best when fights last long enough for her control to decide the outcome.

Her biggest weakness is low survivability. If enemies reach her early, she goes down quickly. She also depends heavily on timing - if her control skills miss or are resisted, her impact drops sharply.

Arachne works best with heroes who can protect her and capitalize on her crowd control. Tanks like Astaroth, Aurora, or Galahad keep enemies away from her.
Pros
  • Stuns enemies for 5 seconds
  • Poisons enemies for 3 seconds
  • Targets the enemy with the lowest health (usually glass-cannon damage dealers)
  • Great in different game modes like Outland and Tower
  • Soul stones available in the early game
Cons
  • Low physical attack and amount of damage performed in general
  • Low magic defense
There's no trace of humanity left in her: she's a perfect assassin now. Arachne's hypnotic gaze freezes her prey, and her claws tear the unfortunate victim apart.

How to counter Arachne in Hero Wars Alliance?

Arachne's jumping ability makes her vulnerable to heroes that perform damage or apply negative effects on the nearby enemy heroes.
Sebastian
Sebastian
Sebastian can conjure a shield against stun and curse effects which will block Arachne's primary ability to stun.
Nebula
Nebula
Nebula can remove all negative effects with her 2nd skill, Serenity.
Celeste
Celeste
Celeste can block Arachne's healing with her 3rd skill, Limbo. She will also remove all negative effects from her ally heroes. Celeste also targets the nearest enemy with her 2nd skill, White Night, which can be Arachne if he jumps to the enemy team.
Andvari
Andvari
Andvari's 4th skill, Nature's Barrier, can activate a shield to protect the hero with the lowest armor from physical attack. Considering Arachne targets the hero with the lowest health (a glass cannon), Andvari might protect this hero with the shield making Arachne's attacks useless.
Jorgen
Jorgen
Jorgen can block nearby enemies from gaining energy. Arachne might be standing in her usual position or being the closest enemy when she jumps. In both cases, her energy gain will be blocked.
